Fic: Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me (Public Eye)
I wrote Public Eye fic! (I know, I know, but I really didn't think I could manage something for it properly, but I quite like this. One day I will stop being obscure, honest, but for today, I finally achieved Frank Marker/Helen Mortimer fic, and that'll do me for now. ;-D Mind, I only just finished this; I shall probably find a lot of horrible
( Read more... )
I was thinking about obscurity and popularity myself because I fancied doing an introspective piece and thought maybe I should concentrate on the Polly angst I scribbled ages ago because at least somebody would read it, cos it's Who and people watch it, instead of only me but I'd far rather do some 'Bulman' related stuff and my brain stepped in and I did some 'Bulman'. Dunno if I will type it up. I'll probably do the Polly thing so I can talk about which fic got the most hits on the end of year fic meme instead of "they all got 8 hits."(!) So I say go with your heart if it wants to be obscure. I may be biased;)

But I think I should direct my brain to something a little less obscure as soon as I can, because otherwise it gets rather lonely. I'm not sorry I wrote this, though. :-)
Polly's not a guarantee for readers, though, either. Ian and Barbara, yes, Ben and Polly, no. They've been too burninated. *sigh*

I think I shall have to give up on popularity & trying to be. It doesn't like me(!).

Popularity only comes when you're not looking for it. One day you'll dash off a random crossover and be baffled by everyone suddenly liking it. :-)

Anyway, I read your fic!
She made the mistake of expressing her relief at reclaiming Frank too openly, and saw his face close in immediately. Aw!

And, aw, thanks. ♥ I'm sure the short bloke was okay. Mrs Mortimer is probably just prejudiced because she's got her eye on a tall, wiry bloke instead.
(I don't know if scotch is evil in Public Eye. It seems to be okay. Beverages are good, generally? The only exceptions are some modern/experimental overly potent cocktail types. Otherwise tea, coffee, scotch, half a pint of bitter, wine, sherry, schnapps, water, milk... Frank even comes to like Nell's weird non-standard teas.)
(I like your icon there - very pretty!)
ETA: Oh, Coke is evil! Frank takes an American girl to a pub and she wants a coke and his response is a gloomy "They have anything in pubs these days!" :-D

Phew!
Blimey, PE sounds tres exotic with non-standard teas and coke. Coke! This was in the last series right?
Ta:) You can't beat Fred & Ginger. I can't take the credit for making though.

No, the Coke was in 1971 (S5). But it was an American girl who wanted it to drink; Frank was disapproving. But they had it in the pub!
