Another one of the audiofics I won through the Help Haiti Auction has been completed.

such_heights has done a wonderful recording of All the King's Horses. I know it has already been listed on Who_Daily, but I wanted to share my delight with the job she did. I also wanted to post the image I created as an "album cover" for the audiofic.

I don't think I mentioned it before, but All the King's Horses was nominated (again) in the latest round of the Children of Time Awards. This round, the categories are character-specific. The New Who category is Donna stories only. AtKH is in the "Multi-Chapter Fic" subcategory.

For those of you who haven't read it, it's a long (26,600 word), plotty Ten and Donna friendship/adventure story, set on an alien world almost as old (and as stuffy) as Gallifrey. Some people have been kind enough to say that it's episode-like.

Anyway... there are a lot of great authors and great stories over there. The other categories feature the Brigadier, Sarah Jane Smith, and Dr. Owen Harper. Voting deadline is October 31. Go, read Good Stuff, and vote for the stories that please you.
