Some posted a link to a New Yorker article about Community, Doctor Who, and cult TV shows to
doctorwho, and I thought it would be interesting to the members here as well!

Summary: Annie enters the study room to a scene of even greater chaos than usual. When the group blames her for their behavior, she sets them down to tell them an epic love story that will reveal every single one of her deepest secrets.
Spoilers: Anything up to and including the season three finale, 'Introduction to Finality'. In fact, several of the scenes in that episode's final montage will find their way into this story as I provide my own events that lead up to them.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. If I had any claim on Community, Abed would be all mine.
A/N: All of Halloween/paintball was supposed to be in this chapter, but it ended up way too long, so I'm splitting it in two. Most of this chapter will probably seem like filler, but it's setup for the events of the next chapter. The action really picks up in then. I'll try to get that up as quickly as possible since the two chapters go together. Luckily, I know exactly what I want in chapter six, so hopefully the writing will flow smoothly. Plus, I only have a short shift today and tomorrow off. As usual, I'd like to thank my livejournal reviewers: justbatcha and sylvan dweller. Hopefully you enjoy this chapter. I'd love to hear from more of my readers, too. Please read and review! Thanks!"Your love life is extremely complicated, Annie."

A/N: Wow, I received a wonderful response to the last chapter. My reviews seriously doubled, and I would love to see that kind of response again. I'm sorry that it took so long for me to get this chapter out compared to the others, but I had six days in a row at work, and I'm in retail and this was a holiday weekend, so they weren't easy days. Dang real life, messing everything up! This chapter was super awkward to write at times, so I hope it turned out okay. I'd like to thank my livejournal reviewers: justbatcha, jinma chan, sylvan dweller, fangirl 101, and jamaycanbacon. I'd love to hear from all of you again! Reviews are wonderful, wonderful things that make all of the work worth it, especially after such a long, hard work week. Please read and review! Thanks!"Don't forget that I hold part of your story hostage."

Pairing/Character: Ensemble, The Tenth Doctor
Rating: G
Spoilers: none
Word Count: 447
Disclaimer: Two times not mine.
Author's Note: This story is intended to be a short missing scene from my story Tea Time and Time Lords, where the study group travels with the Doctor as companions. This should be standalone, however, so no need to read the other story unless you feel like it. Written for the Milady/Milord fic battle for eleventhimpala's prompt: "Jeff, Annie and The Doctor encounter the Weeping Angels."
Summary: The study group meets the Weeping Angels.

BRAINSTORMING POST
Hey, everyone! We would love to have summer activities again this year (maybe it will help brighten the dark cloud hanging over fandom right now, who knows?). But we want your input on what might make it better/more fun/easier to participate.
For now, we will definitely include:
- One to Three Fic Battles (thanks,
milady_milord for letting us borrow the idea) - Season 3 Episode and Scene competitions
In the past, we've also done weekly prompt posts, episode rewatches, media sharing, statistics recaps, interview roundups, countdowns, etc., but I don't want to assume anyone's interest in or commitment to these events.
Please comment below if you have ideas for any of these things:
- Weekly/Monthly Themes
- Events (weekly, monthly, once)
- Ways to attract more interest
- Things to improve
- Willingness to help out!

A/N: I hope I didn't lose readers over Britta's little spoiler last chapter. Just keep in mind that this story is definitely Annie/Abed, but there will be some Annie/Jeff because realizing that she's not in love with Jeff wouldn't have just made all of her attraction to him disappear. I'd like to thank my livejournal reviewers: jinma chan, fangirl 101, and sylvan dweller. Reviews are wonderful, wonderful things that make all of the work worth it. Please read and review! Thanks!"Did you have to tell that part, Annie?"

Bad news after bad news these days. Now cheer up people, we might hold to something!

I always thought of her as Harmon's pupil, she has two years of experience with the show and she has credits for writing the bottle episode, the two mockumentaries and the Law & Order episode.
I hope we can count on her to channel some Harmon in the future.
Edit: Andy Bobrow, Steve Basilone and Annie Mebane confirmed on Twitter that they're staying as well. Good news!

The fourth season of COMMUNITY has the potential to be the best season ever.
Don't get me wrong: It could be terrible. We'd have nothing to worry about if Sony had renewed Dan's contract. And there are numerous reasons why they should have and why they didn't -- but what it comes down to is, COMMUNITY is a wide open concept and format that many creators who aren't Dan Harmon can bring a lot to. I'm not overly familiar with the work of David Guarascio and Moses Port, but they were bold enough to cast Joel McHale for their (unaired) version of THE IT CROWD and hire Richard Ayoade to play the same character as in the UK version.
( Yeah, Dan brought a lot of personal, unique attributes to the show. )

So, my friend who knows I love Community pointed me to this article on Dan Harmon and how firing him is kinda/sorta/maybe firing a disabled person because of his placing on the autism spectrum, and it reminded me of something that sorta irked me from the finale...( Read more... )

I'm following Neil Gaiman on tumblr, as I'm a big fan. So I was over the moon when, just hours after Karen's video was uploaded, he posted a reply to it:

(Unlike most tumblr users, he likes putting his thoughts on top of the reblogged item, instead of under)
We're mostly familiar with Neil Gaiman as a fantasy book/graphic novel writer. A few know that he wrote the Doctor's Wife episode of Dr. Who. So, his post got me quite excited (even if it didn't happen, it was lovely knowing he knew about Community and wanted to write for it).
Then as we all know,YourFavoriteHoliday got cancelled today the news about Dan Harmon went out today, along with his blog post about what happened. Hours later,

It just warmed my heart that us fans aren't alone, and someone who has a big name like that has also shown Dan his support.

A little something to cheer everyone up after last nite's news: Thanks to danielletbd on twitter, the 8-bit version of the theme song that was used in Digital Estate Planning is now available as a ringtone. You can download it here.
