Summary: Two different forms of incompatible energy existing in the same space-time would create havoc, wouldn't it? What would they have to put right?

I've had this open in a tab for about a month, I guess. Kept meaning to read it, even mentioned it to Patsfan, who is a huge Quantum Leap fan. When I did, he asked, "But the Doctor's always putting things right anyway. What does he need Sam leaping in for?" By the time the answer to that question became clear in the story, I was dope-slapping myself. Obviously the Doctor needed a kick in the pants to fix this and, well, getting kicked out of his own body would be one way to do it. It's awesome. Go read. Even if you don't know Quantum Leap, I think enough is explained to the DW characters to make it clear.

Met a couple of challenges

The ribbon is technically for the 5_for_five challenge to write at least 500 words at least 5 days out of the week. I had thought I might not make it last week, but TFTWSD gasped back to life. Again.

However, I also met another challenge. Curves had a "No Gain Campaign" challenge for the holidays, in which you had to weigh in before Thanksgiving and weigh out last week. Ten of us successfully did not gain either weight or body fat over the holidays, and some folks even managed to lose a bit. I'm just happy not to have gained! Weight loss isn't my main goal, but not gaining any more is definitely pretty high up there.
