But why are you trying to sneak this in here hoping we won't notice. It's just marvellous.....

heretoutopia July 9 2007, 15:32:52 UTC

Not sneaking, I promise! Cross-posted every which way and happily spamming all flists :)

And...*phew* When you read a joke lots of times, you're never sure if it's funny any more...

hellenebright July 9 2007, 15:34:42 UTC

Trust me. It's funny.

*beams* I definitely forgot to bring the funny on the first couple of drafts, so I'm chuffed this one works :) Thanks!

Oh my gosh I love you! That was hilarious!!! Yippie for 8 and yippie for the Romana and I loved the "And I believe that sometimes, people have sex!" FANTASTIC! *is still giggling* And YES a Torchwood group. *pout* I want a Torchwood group to run around with...

*giggle* Thanks! I couldn't get in half the references I wanted to, but I'm glad everyone got them :)

and, if you're looking closely, Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards! You don't need to know the latter for this to work

No, but it makes it even funnier. Thanks for improving a day that's slowly gone to hell in a handcart. It just got a whole lot better!

jadesfire July 9 2007, 15:56:54 UTC

Well, Guards! Guards! is where it all started...

Glad to help! Thanks :)

MADE OF AWESOME AND WIN.

Honestly, I can't pick out which parts I like best because it's all good. But this part needs to be Shared and Enjoyed among the fandom:

"Yes, I like both of them! Yes, I can embrace their flaws and their confusing story lines and non-existent continuity! I believe that it's all one universe and that everyone should just try to get along with each other! I believe in the broadest possible definition of Canon and in giving new things a chance. And I believe that sometimes, people have sex!"

Yay for poor disputed Eight and the wrist-computer and Rose and Adric. And the Guards, Guards!-ish dialogue. And yay for the ending, and much squee for "I was just saying hello."

I can't stop giggling at your icon - it's making typing difficult...

Some bits were like pulling teeth to write, but that speech just seemed to flow :)

There can never be too much squee! Thanks :D

This icon...it's the Doctor's expression in the second frame that makes it.

Well, that and the Jack-bouncing.

I find the Pratchett-type mindset so easy to get into, that half the time I have to reread for plagiarism...

I think it's also possible that writing this broke my brain, in the best possible way :)

Thanks!
