1) Aaah, thank you so much! If there were a less corny way to go ':D' on the internet, I WOULD BE DOING IT NOW. Instead you get ':D'. And yes, aah, I kind of go 'D:' when I see bad interpretations of the Master as well, so I'm glad mine isn't too shoddy!
2) Well, in the case of Shaz and definitely, definitely Eight, it's more 'tries to play'. Eight is so hard to play D: But thank you so much! I'm kind of worried that I make Koschei a little ... too grumpy? But I somewhat base my interpretation off of what appears in the really, really terrible novel The Dark Path and to a certain extent, the BFA 'Master', but the circumstances of 'Master' compared to general ...RP'ing, particularly Academy!era are a little different, so-- YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT INTERESTED AT ALL SO YES, thank you! I'm glad you like how I play him!
Also, I've seen your Sherlock around and he's fantastic, I have to say *A* I keep wanting to try playing someone from the new series but my laughable lack of knowledge regarding the books makes me wary of trying. Plus, I keep going 'BUT THERE'S ONLY BEEN THREE EPISODES' which makes me incredibly envious of anyone who's able to play the characters so far even though the episodes were ninety minutes each, apparently this means nothing to me.

I am interested! <3 Gallifrey and Academy headcanon is some of my favourite headcanon evar. I could talk about it for ridiculous lengths >_> Although I've never read the Dark Path or heard 'Master'.
Aw, thank you <33 If you ever want to brush up, the original ACD books are public domain, so you can find them on the internet for free. Not that I do this to recap, what what. It's not as nice as having a real book, but there are definitely words, in the right order, telling the same story 8D Moar Sherlock characters is ALWAYS a good thing.
Also. Also. Jarvis. Oh, Jarvis. <3

Yees, it is fantastic for headcanon and stuff. I'm almost surprised that more people don't muck around with it.
The Dark Path is kind of terrible. It's like--
Koschei is travelling with a human called Ailla from the 23rd? century. THEY GET ON REALLY WELL. Koschei is ~suave~ and hypnotic. The Doctor turns up and he's all like 'oh bugger, I'm here, I'm not really supposed to be here, this could be awkward' but Koschei's all like 'DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. I won't report you.' And then they wander off and do their separate explorations into ~what is going on~ because it's supposedly all very interesting even though I became bored quite quickly. Things soon escalate and PEOPLE GET IMPRISONED and it's all very bad, not to mention the Darkheart (I don't remember what it actually did) is VERY BAD. IT COULD DESTROY A PLANET.
Exploration and antagonism continues, and Ailla GETS SHOT and is apparently killed. Koschei baaws for a bit and decides that he will use the Darkheart to bring her back to life. Meanwhile, the Doctor takes her body aboard the TARDIS because he has realised something! Ailla regenerates and explains that she was supposed to pretend to be human and keep an eye on Koschei because the Time Lords were all 'HEY, YOU KNOW THAT KOSCHEI GUY? We don't think he's very mentally stable. Keep an eye on him and report back to us."
Koschei finds this out and is suitably unhappy. Sulks. Baaws. Decides that she's betrayed him and that he shall now be called the Master. Other stuff happens too, but the novel is really long and completely convoluted. I read a review that was like "you know, this would be great if it was a Star Trek novel. Unfortunately, it's a Doctor Who novel."
Ooh, I shall have to check that out. I recently invested in an eBook reader, so that sounds wonderful 8)
Aha, IKR. I recently rediscovered a load of my music from the nineties, and I was like "PULP. HOW DID I STOP LISTENING TO YOU." Plus, Jarvis is just kind of wonderful.
