andraste: The reason half the internet imagines me as Patrick Stewart. (Default)
So, the veil of Yuletide anonymity has been withdrawn, and I can now reveal the things I wrote! My main story and the Madness treats can be seen on my works page at the AO3, but I will be posting them individually here over the next few days. (I like having a complete set of my work online in two different places, because I'm paranoid that way. Also, posting on my own journal gives me a chance to ramble a bit about how and why I wrote what I did.)

Anyway, for my main story this year I was assigned Dollhouse. This is a show about which I have many feelings, but I'd never written anything in the fandom before, so I was pleased to have a reason to do so.

Many of my Dollhouse-Related Feelings are Topher Brink Feelings so when I read my recipient's letter:

Topher, for me, is the best part of Dollhouse. I love that man's brain. Topher being Topher is all I really want-- a little bit of why he's that way would rock my socks.

... I was delighted. And then, briefly, panicked, because how was I going to get Topher to introspect? Then I started thinking about the 'why he's that way' part of the request and how Topher got to where he is and what people would think of him in two hundred years, and, well, the story just happened.

People seem to have liked what I wrote, since this went over bigger than anything I've ever written for Yuletide before. And it turned out to be a good Yuletide for my Topher Brink Feelings, as I also received a story about him!

Summary: Excerpts from 'Destroyer and Saviour: A Selection of Primary Sources Concerning Christopher Brink'.

Contains: Nothing more disturbing than what was on the show.

I haven't posted about it here, but I've really been enjoying Doll House. It takes half a dozen episodes to really start cooking, but I think it's well worth a look. (It's not as though it will eat up much of your time, since it's almost certain to be cancelled after the end of its thirteen-episode season.)

And you know what I love about it most? It's infinite levels of skeeviness. Obviously many people find these elements off-putting, but it's not every show that can find brand new ways to squick me every episode.

Multiple levels of skeeviness and spoilers. )
