Since this post is already sticky, I'll make use of it.

Looking for fandom stuff? Check the fic tag, the icon tag, or the vid tag. You might also like fanboy moment and reviewish stuff.

Additional info:
If you like my posts, you're welcome to friend me. I'll probably reciprocrate, though sometimes it takes me a while to notice I've been friended.

Also, feel free to comment on old posts if they tickle your fancy. I especially love to hear feedback on my fics, though any post can be considered open for discussion.

That's all for the time being.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled post.

Exactly what it say on the tin, folks. This post is a big list of profound and/or funny quotes that I like. Looking for a way to make this a sort of 'sticky' post on both LJ and Facebook; can anyone help me with that?

ETA: I've cutified the bulk of the quotes, but I'm always bumping into newer quotes that I enjoy, so I'll try to keep a few fresh ones outside the cut as I come across them and once I get a few, I'll probably cycle older quotes under the cut with the newest quotes outside of it.

(For the first quotes post click here.)

Apparently the first post has become too full of text. Here begineth the second post. As with the first one, next time I add a batch of quotes, the old batch will be cycled below a cut. This will continue until this post is full as well.

me_llamo_nic: That "attempt to build a TARDIS" has been driving me mad ever since "The Lodger" first aired and even the S6 opener didn't completely satisfy my curiosity. An Omega story would probably tie a nice little bow on it.

elisi: Claraaaaaaaa! <3

And then it clicked. Like a zap to the synapses and suddenly I've got a theory. A lengthy and somewhat complex (and probably wrong, but still fun) theory.
