Quick announcement: I'm moving!

Morning!

I hope you're all doing well. Basically, long story short, I'm moving blogs. This blog is a secondary blog to the primary blog I made a couple years back, which is my personal blog, which imposes some limitations and prevents this blog from being its own thing, so I've created a new Tumblr account to make things easier and more freeing.

You can find me @demdifferentstories-29

I'm still trying to sort out the mechanics of it all (transferring posts/reposting things, moving this blog to the new account so people can find me easily, etc.). Bear with me.

Thanks!

Lily.

Okay, but why is the giggle in this scene utterly perfect? I have replayed it countless times and hyperfixated on it at least once.

i'm really excited to see what ruby sunday is like in the new doctor who series because in the russell t davies era previously, the doctor's companions were a sort of invitation to the audience. it felt like when rose, martha, and donna were on-screen, the writers were asking us to embody them, showing us the traits of humanity that the doctor needed the most and saying how valuable it is to be these human things.

rose, who instinctually connected with anyone around her who was downtrodden or overlooked. who advocated for people who she thought weren't listened to enough. who loved the doctor but expected better from him, and told him so.

martha, who never needed the doctor to try to save people. who was left on her own in impossible situations and stayed the course even when she was terrified. who loved herself enough to walk away.

donna, who never ever apologized for being loud and abrasive. who sometimes doubted herself and her worth but never let anyone else put her down. who knew instinctively how to relate to people different from her, even thousand-year-old timelords.

i think this is why rtd-era companions were so identified with their jobs (rose whose first episode has her meeting the doctor at her job as a shop assistant, donna whose experience as a temp constantly comes up, martha who's training to be a doctor). they are us in our every-day working class lives, and the writers call on that every-day experience as vital and worthwhile even in fantastical situations.

i really hope ruby sunday brings back this aspect of companions, because i think it's really part of the heart of doctor who and what makes it so relevant.

thinking about how these two conversations happened only hours apart :(

[demdifferentstories]

Words cannot express how much love David Tennant exudes whenever he is performing with Billie Piper as the Doctor and Rose. Like I have never been more convinced that a character is real and in love with another character in a way that I have when watching DW.

Not to be dramatic or anything but when you look up the definition of “heart-eyes” this should be the image that shows up

Billie Piper as Rose Tyler in ‘The Unquiet Dead’ from BBC’s Doctor Who.

Think about it, though. Christmas 1860. It happened once. Just once, and it’s… gone, it’s finished. It’ll never happen again. Except for you. You can go back and see days that are dead and gone, a hundred thousand sunsets ago. No wonder you never stay still.

It is here!

Thank you to @izthecannibal​ for this extremely helpful and useful guide to making a Masterlist on Tumblr - I had no idea how I was meant to approach this, but their post made it so easy.

Fanfiction Authors: HEADS UP

(Non-authors, please RB to signal boost to your author friends!)

An astute reader informed me this morning that one of my fics (Children of the Future Age) had been pirated and was being sold as a novel on Amazon:

(And they weren't even creative with their cover design. If you're going to pirate something that I spent a full year of my life writing, at least give me a pretty screenshot to brag about later. Seriously.)

I promptly filed a DMCA complaint to have it removed, but I checked out the company that put it up -- Plush Books -- and it looks like A LOT of their books are pirated fic. They are by no means the only ones doing this, either -- the fact that """publishers""" can download stories from AO3 in ebook format and then reupload them to Amazon in just a few clicks makes fic piracy a common problem. There are a whole host of reasons why letting this continue is bad -- including actual legal risk to fanfiction archives -- but basically:

IF YOU ARE A FANFIC AUTHOR WITH LONG AND/OR POPULAR WORKS, PLEASE CHECK AMAZON TO SEE IF YOUR STORIES HAVE BEEN PIRATED.

You can search for your fics by title, or by text from the description (which is often just copied wholesale from AO3 as well). If you find that someone has stolen your work and is selling it as their own, you can lodge a DMCA complaint (Amazon.com/USA site; other countries have different systems). If you haven't done this before, it's easy! Here's a tutorial:

HOW TO FILE A COPYRIGHT COMPLAINT FOR STOLEN WORK ON AMAZON.COM:

First, go to this form. You'll need to be signed into your Amazon account.

Select the radio buttons/dropdown options (shown below) to indicate that you are the legal Rights Owner, you have a copyright concern, and it is about a pirated product.

Enter the name of your story in the Name of Brand field.

In the Link to the Copyrighted Work box, enter a link to the story on AO3 or whatever site your work is posted on.

In the Additional Information box, explain that you are the author of the work and it is being sold without your permission. That's all you really need. If you want, you can include additional information that might be helpful in establishing the validity of your claim, but you don't have to go into great detail. You can simply write something like this:

I am the author of this work, which is being sold by [publisher] without my permission. I originally published this story in [date/year] on [name of site], and have provided a link to the original above. On request, I can provide documentation proving that I am the owner of the account that originally posted this story.

In the ASIN/ISBN-10 field, copy and paste the ID number from the pirated copy's URL. You'll find this ten-digit number in the Amazon URL after the word "product," as in the screenshot below. (If the URL extends beyond this number, you can ignore everything from the question mark on.) Once this number has been added, Amazon will pull the product information automatically and add it to the complaint form, so you can check the listing title and make sure it's correct.

Finally, add your contact information to the relevant fields, check the "I have read and accept the statements" box, and then click Submit. You should receive an email confirmation that Amazon has received the form.

Please share this information with your writer friends, keep an eye out for/report pirated works, and help us keep fanfiction free and legally protected!

NOTE: All of the above also applies to Amazon products featuring stolen artwork, etc., so fan artists should check too!

[demdifferentstories]

Welcome!

Hello there!

My name’s Lily (she/her), AKA DemDifferentStories on Archive of Our Own and Wattpad (formerly). I am a fanfiction writer and reader, and I hope to expand my audience a bit more by revamping this old blog that’s been lying dormant for a few years now.

Here’s a few basic facts about myself:

I’m Irish-Australian, born and raised in Australia.

I am a movie buff with a love for horror films particularly, and a bookworm with a love for thrillers. My favourite film is Spider-Man (2002) and my favourite book is The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood.

I love music, especially rock and metal. My favourite band is Muse. This year, I’ve found myself falling in love with Coldplay and The Cranberries, courtesy of my best mate.

I am a massive cat lover (and dogs too, but cats inspire an unmatched joy within me).

I am a massive David Tennant fan and have seen quite a chunk of his work! I also love Christopher Eccleston and Cillian Murphy, and I have plenty of other faves that I won’t bore you with a list of.

I’m currently a university student and work two jobs, so I am, unfortunately, a busy gal.

This is a rough timeline of my fanfiction journey:

I started reading fanfiction around 2013/2014 and started writing it shortly after.

I read a little on fanfiction.com before moving onto reading/writing on Wattpad in 2014 and then AO3 in 2020.

Initially, I wrote fanfiction about bands/musical artists (5 Seconds of Summer, Of Mice & Men, Bring Me The Horizon, You Me At Six, and Asking Alexandria were my primary subjects), but majority of them have been lost/deleted/archived as I no longer feel comfortable with the ethics/morals of writing about real people, and the writing (both quality and plot wise) was... quite bad. But, there are still a handful available on Wattpad and AO3 if your curiosity is piqued.

Currently, I primarily write Doctor Who (2005) fanfiction revolving around the Tenth Doctor, the Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler, and their respective ships. I write an array of things - different ratings/contents, canon divergence/expansion, original ideas, AUs. 

However, I have tons of drafts non-DW and I intend to post them when the inspiration sparks!

My Wattpad account has not been active since 2021, but it is still available to see/read - I just don’t check my inbox/receive notifications! So please don’t leave any messages there.

I feel this is a relatively satisfactory introductory post, and I hope this tells you a bit more about me. If you’d like to read some of my stuff, jump through the link in my bio, and let me know what you think!

Lots of love,

Lily/DemDifferentStories.
