More Joy Day!

Half of my flist will scratch their heads at the subject line, but over on the more fannish side of things (relative as that is), today has been declared "More Joy Day!", meaning, try to bring a little more joy than usual to the people around you. This is not particularly creative of me, but what I've decided to do is share with all of you some fun stuff that I've come across, that gave me a little bit of joy, and that I thought some of you might like as well.

Mimi-Na is the person who did those wonderful "The Doctor's Girls" and "The Doctor's Boys" cartoons of all the Dr. Who companions a bit ago, which I believe I posted about. Here, she does "The Monsters of Whodom" in a similar vein:

She also recently did "The Women of 'Angel'" (though this was done as a commission, and thus the selection of who to include was at the behest of the commissioner, which is the answer for "why that one?" and "why'd this other one get left out?"):
