The idea of identity in Dr. Who always interests me, both because of the regeneration ( I mean, shred memory aside...are they or aren't they the same man?) and this clone/paralell world business. Even before the tenth doctor's clone, with Pete and Jackie or Mickey/Ricky, I sort of wondered what sort of messages were trying to be sent. (Um, I may have been reading fics addressing this recently....)
Yuletide! YAY! I was so pleasantly surprised with not one but TWO Yuletide gifts. A Scarlet Pimpernel story, "Helpmeet" and a Nutcracker one. Both were very excellent. (I'm going to be doing a rec post as soon as I can get onto AO3 without getting error signs.) I love Yuletide because I love that it gives people a chance to squee and get excited about things they normally can't really. I love the work it produces too- for some reason Yuletide seems to have a much higher quality than average- but I love the joy people expeirnce even more. I like that idea that people can connect and make new friends through this... On a personal level, I enjoy trying to make something for someone else too.
