Life's a trifle strange lately. On the one hand, I've survived the ficathon without having to commit seppuku to atone for my shame, and there's a truly excellent story being written to my prompts to boot; on the other hand, my mother's a bit down due to the death of one of her younger cousins (whom I have never met. My ignorance of my own damn

Yeah, last time I tried to write Ten, it was a hell of a fun time trying to balance between how much of an asshole he is in canon, how much of an asshole he is in fanon, and how much of an asshole I think he is. *grins* And he wasn't even the main character. It was pretty hard to think my way around-- I think I wound up going for the fandom's Ten, as opposed to fangirl Ten, where he can occasionally be a bit of a jerk, but he's never done anything, you know, staggeringly terrible. Which was really hard to visualize.

John Smith-- oh, I saw that one. He was a bit of a whiny bitch, but he was a bit better. And half the emo whining would make a lot more sense if he was terrified of having his real personality overwritten again. He was acting a lot like becoming the Doctor again would destroy his real self, and if that were actually true, whether he consciously realized it or not, I would like him a hell of a lot more. *considers* Wow, a lot more. And considering how willing Smith was to treat Martha as a servant, to boot... That's absolutely perfect. Brilliant!

Hmm... I guess the main plot would depend partly on where we want to break into canon. At the moment, I hear Rose is trying to track Ten down... should we co-opt that, or ignore it because there'll probably be a canonical reason for it by the time we're done anyway? Also, I have, to my great regret, seen Torchwood, and I do think it'd be doing the world a favor if we undid at least the last half of S2. ;) Or, we could pretend that whole thing never happened, but that'd make the end of DW S3 problematic-- which would also not be a bad thing... *grin* I don't mind talking about it here, but the length limits might prove to be a problem...
