OMG...I almost wanna write it. Except there wouldn't be a lot to write. And everyone would wanna get a snog in on Eleven (cause that's the thing with him. Terrible Flirt, Eleventy). Really, it would be over in two minutes. And then he's be all 'THIS is what I was talking about, Amy. Planets in the Sky'. And he'd fix Donna, give Wilf a kitten and everyone would have jammie dodgers and tea afters.
But I still love TSE/JE...but yeah. Eleven would have handled it different. Kinda wish Martha would travel with him. He'd treat her SO MUCH BETTER.

I so need to write that.
Actually, I have a couple of fics sitting on my hard drive with Martha and Eleven and an original companion, but I'm . . . well, sitting on them. Mostly because they charge directly at race stuff, and (being a person of pastiness) I'm of two minds as to whether or not I should even be writing about it, for fear that I Fail. Also, my fic-brain has currently been hijacked by a mad muppet writing multiple possible backstories for Jenna-Louise's character, and getting stuff out of it requires more thumping than I can muster. And also, because I haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately due to the sex-starved mockingbird that has parked itself approximately three feet from my bedroom window and AARRGGHHHH-anyway

I waaannnnttt. OMG. My brain just went 'There could be Epic!Fic by Lyricwrites' then promptly imploded. Thanks for that. *Cackles*
Ahhh, sweetie. You can never fail. And you've handled issues just as sensitive with grace and understanding. I would applaud anything you do with Martha and Eleven! As for the newer...I'd have to wait *bites nails* Damned mockingbird! DELAYING MY DELIGHTS!! *SHAKES FIST*
I do heartily agree. Still...tis fun to speculate how different Doctors would handle different situations. He grows as he goes. He needed to go through that to be who he is...but at the same time, he's just as dangerous, only quiet about it. Frightening, really. And this is why I adore Smith's Face. Damn him.

Heh, the thing on my hard drive isn't epic so much as reflective, but thank you for the kind words.
I'll post a general question-y musing thing on my LJ tomorrow or Monday, methinks, because this is an issue I've been driving myself nuts on in more than one sphere of fiction writing. Tomorrow or Monday, some time when I have slightly more active brain cells.
My inner optimist is going "Well, you probably couldn't have as much utter FAIL than in the Shakespeare episode where Martha tried to bring up people's views of her in that century, and Ten's just like, "Martha, how'd'ya think people see me? I'm am alien."
I hope you're right. Anyway, as I said to phoenixdragon, I think I'm going to put together some general questions and pose them to my friends list, because on the one hand I'm very nervous about Things, but on the other hand, I do kind of want to post.

Although, upon further overthinking this-I wonder if that's fail, or characterization. It would not be the first or the last time that the Doctor failed to realize that humans don't (and in some cases, can't) see things from the same perspective he does. It also wouldn't be the last time he failed to really see Martha. So, while someone is definitely being utterly thoughtless in that scene, I'm not totally sure it's the writer.
Unless it could be a case of both. The Doctor having a clueless moment about humans, and the writers trying to address the race issue- but kinda failing with not seeing how bad it could come across. *shrugs*

Mostly because they charge directly at race stuff, and (being a person of pastiness) I'm of two minds as to whether or not I should even be writing about it, for fear that I Fail. Oh I hear you. I have an OC in one of my fics who's gender neutral, and I swear, it's terrifying to write. But I'd still say 'have a go' - it's good to be scared and try new things.
Most of the time, I take the view that having a fascinating failure is better than a boring success. With race, though, I freeze up. Possibly I should find someone to have a look over the story . . . but asking someone to check and see if I got privilege all over a story feels a bit like asking a stranger to have a look at a nasty boil on my butt.

Need me to send a peashooter for the mockingbird? Never know, might be the biggest thrill it gets all week!

Oooh, yes please.

I'm failing to see the downside here.
Mind you, I think plot is usually just a mistake.

Can I just say - right now - that I love you to distraction?
Hang on a tick. Just said it.
Think I'll consider that permission granted.
*Sniffs*
Or I could always throw ideas at wall, see what sticks and apply tea to any bits that don't fit. And to my audience. Tea fixes everything.
