timelord1My new virtual fiancee, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
onabearskinrug, posted a prompt this morning. Three words: Apple bottom jeans.
This was my response.
Rose awoke with a start. Her room was dark and quiet, but she could hear rhythmic thumping coming from somewhere deep in the ship. She slipped out of bed and crept into the hallway in her bare feet. She went to the Doctor’s bedroom and put her ear against the door. Silence. She slid along the wall to peer around into the control room. The overhead lights were off, the only illumination coming from the soft blue glow of the idling TARDIS engines. Still, the thumping went on, somewhere in the distance. Moving like a ninja, Rose passed through the shadowed hallways, following the sound, careful not to set off any motion sensors or catch her toe on any tripwires the Doctor might have installed.
The thumping brought her to a hallway she’d never seen before. The walls were quivering with the rhythm of the thumping, and got louder as she glided along the floor. She had to admire her own sneaking skills. There was a time when she couldn’t have crept up on a statue without it knowing she was coming, but now, after so much time sneaking around with the Doctor, she was nothing more than a trick of the light, a blurred motion caught in the corner of your eye, gone before you could register she’d been there.
She finally came to a door that was buzzing with the thumping. She took a breath to steel herself, then slid the door open, jumping inside the room.
The Doctor was bouncing around the room in time to the music, arms splayed, wearing a pair of dark sunglasses and a red velvet hat that would have looked more at home on the head of a 70's pimp than on a nine-hundred-year-old Time Lord. He hadn’t seen Rose yet, and continued his bouncing. And his rapping.
“Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur..with the fur…The whole club was lookin at her! She hit the flo, She hit the flo…Next thing you know, Shawty got low low low low low low low low..” he caught sight of her and screamed, the hat falling off his head as he zapped the stereo with the sonic screwdriver.
“Hello,” he said after a moment.
Rose quirked an eyebrow at him. “This what you do while I’m sleeping?”
He took off the sunglasses and chewed on one of the bows. “Quite often, yes.”
She nodded. "Does Huggy Bear know you have his hat?"

Date: 2011-09-27 06:10 pm (UTC)We could have prompts, and occasional contests if we ever felt like it...there have to be more crack-heads out there just waiting for a home.

Date: 2011-09-27 06:14 pm (UTC)YES PLEASE!!!!!!!! What are we going to call it?
no subject
Date: 2011-09-27 06:22 pm (UTC)The crackhouse, The Timorous Beastie, The Crackery (rhymes with Daiquiri...haha banana crackery...I'll shut up now)
Have I mentioned titles and I don't get along? Mearf. :b

Date: 2011-09-27 06:18 pm (UTC)We could pimp it on our LJs, timeandchips_ot, Tennant love, billie love, other doctor who comms to which we belong as well. We could sign the comm up to be a member of the daily who comm newsletter thing. Word will get out fast, I am sure. I know several writers who would love it!!
Would it be just new-who centric or all of who?

Date: 2011-09-27 06:41 pm (UTC)That being out of the way, I lean more towards Banana_Crackeri for the same spelling reasons. We could have the subtitle "Because bananas are good, and so is crack!"

Date: 2011-09-27 06:45 pm (UTC)I like it :-) and I agree, that second spelling is adorable but would be tough to remember. We will need an awesome layout. Like, if we could find all eleven doctors CRACKING up (get it???) that would be fun to design around. Or maybe I'm super lame, and don't be afraid to tell me so :-)

Date: 2011-09-28 09:10 pm (UTC)I'll apply the same layout style that I have on my LJ, so it will be easier to work with... now that I remember WHICH ONE I used!
What colors do you think? I definitely like a white background for text. It is much easier to read.

Be warned though, when we say "anything goes" there, we really do mean it. All adult content is behind cuts of course, so just make sure you read the pre-cut info and be careful what you click through to. We take no responsibility for causing hot flashes and loss of breath, lol
