Are you my mummy? "Mums" second chapter is complete!
I think my muse has finally returned! I've been wanting to update my story on Teaspoon, "Mums" for some time now, but just haven't felt inspired. Perhaps others feel differently, but Doctor Who Series 7, Part 1 has left me feeling rather disappointed. The action and occasional clever quips have been there, but the stories have just seemed a bit messy and contrived. I also fear that the writers are catering too much to what they believe the fans want to see instead of focusing on writing a good, cohesive story. It's funny, because I initially loved Moffat's take on Doctor Who. Even before he became head writer, many of his episodes are among my favorites. And while I think I may now prefer the tenth doctor a bit to the eleventh, Matt Smith was really my "first" Doctor and I am still very fond of him. But Series 7 leaves me feeling empty. It feels lazy, relying a great deal on bells and whistles instead of plot. Perhaps the new companion will give the show a fresh perspective. We'll see. Anyway, I've finally added a second chapter to "Mums" on Teaspoon! :)
