Fic: UNIT - Silver Bullet

[lost_spook]

Normal service will be resumed at some point with memes and catching up with people and all, but I posted Chapter 1 of the next UNIT fic this evening:

UNIT: Silver Bullet(Waiting for the okay onto Teaspoon

Yes, I had a nice weekend too - so much so that I didn't get around to reading the end of the last one yet, and now the new story is upon me!

I'll make time for some reading tomorrow night, I think...

Silver Bullet? Hmm, could be A Clue?

[lost_spook]

Well, nothing much happened. :lol: Glad you had a nice weekend, anyway! It was amazingly sunny, wasn't it?

:-)

A Clue? Why, yes, it is, but probably not in the way you think. More a sort of joke. Ish.

[jjpor]

It was _amazingly_ sunny... :)

Yeah, I was thinking the obvious, as I often do... Still haven't read it, due to one thing and another, but will shortly.

[lost_spook]

Oh, no, it is about the obvious, except it isn't. :-) (I like to be awkward, you may have noticed.)

Never mind. Nobody says you have to. I'll just kill off Sgt Kennedy when you've gone. ;-D

[jjpor]

But...but...he and Kate are going to have lots of little Kennedys and, and...

Er...probably thought about that too much... :D

[lost_spook]

I'm only killing him off if you're not reading them any more... (Um, what if Kate has other ideas?!)

:lol:

[jjpor]

Well, I'm up to date on the UNIT fic now (very entertaining, btw), so Sgt Kennedy should be safe for the time being...hopefully, depending on how that cliffhanger pans out...

Oh yes, I'm sure Kate would have other ideas, whatever half-baked notions Kennedy might come out with! :D

[lost_spook]

Thanks. (Yes, Pt 2: "Oh, dear the Captain and the Sergeant are dead. Whoops. Well, that was a successful operation..." :-D)

Aw, now, Kennedy's not stupid, you know. Although, maybe you have a point when it comes to Kate. :lol:

Sorry. The world will be a better place when I have finished these fics and can explain myself properly instead of chuckingly evil to everybody's bemusment and general lack of interest...

I think - it's nearly June - it *must* be time to enquire how things are with you? Good/Bad/Infdifferent, or just don't ask when it's finally a bank holiday weekend? ;-)

[jjpor]

Well...funny you should mention that...there was A Development a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't think I ought to mention it in case it turned out to be a case of counting chickens, but anyway we had a meeting with The Boss yesterday, and basically

[lost_spook]

Well, thanks fro all your kind reviews, anyway

[jjpor]

Well yes, it was, wasn't it? The idea that the seriousness of a problem is not always something that can be measured objectively. Mountains made out of molehills can sometimes still be mountains all the same

[lost_spook]

I haven't seen War Time, so I'm glad you added that explanation, or I would have been even more confused than I am. Oh, I often have metaphors. Sometimes I even run to similes as well, but I'm not so good at those. (That was the hardest part of attempting to write like PG Wodehouse. I was going to say I expect you got that, too, but then you have more similes in general...) ;-)

Kennedy certainly won't yell about his name being John, or Johnny, because it's not, & Nat's the one with the dead dad, Tilly's the one with the dead everybody. His dark secret, as far as I know (he's not all that communicative, tho'...) is what Nat doesn't know about him and Kate. :-D

Yep. That was my point. :-) I'm sure all things will be well and all manner of things will be well. Eventually. Yes, sorry. Stuff is improving, I'm sure. Just been a trying week, and it was only four days long for me...

Now, I was supposed to be writing UNIT running around Tarr Steps chasing a wolf, wasn't I?

[jjpor]

War Time is...interesting... We watched it as part of one of those, ahem, perfectly legal, ahem, DbyA "DW Live" sessions, otherwise I'm sure I never would have bothered, but well, now I can say I've seen it. The thing about it is, Benton has always struck me as pretty much a what-you-see-is-what-you-get sort of character, therefore the least likely UNIT type to have a dark and troubled past that needed exploring in the medium of semi-pro fan video... Still, on the plus side John Levene turns in a truly bizarre and deeply amusing performance, and his dead dad is played by Michael "Davros and that bloke out of Terror of the Autons" Wisher. So that's nice

[lost_spook]

There's more wolf action, as requested. :-)

Well, so you've seen War Time, then? Well done. ;-D I think I'm glad I haven't, in that case. Wha *are* you implying about DbyA?? 8-o

And if I believe that, I'll believe anything. *rolls eyes* Seems thats the only way to write it, then! I didn't have a Blandings TV to go to. And I must work myself up to it, because I have a lovely prequel/sequel in which Eight and Charley turn up after the same object, which Ten has already taken, with the Master, and Charley becoming a serial fiancee, as it were, and it's based a bit on PG Wodehouse's outline for a sequel to 'Lord Emsworth and the Girlfriend', except less so than it was meant to be. But it's setting aside a bit of space. Once I get these UNIT fics finished, I need to do some of the others that got abandoned, like that. Sorry. I didn't mean to waffle so long there.

I'd better not say anything more about Kennedy & Kate, and Nat and co... Hopefully all will be become clear soon, and then I can kill them all off. ;-)
