!! And it's up on the Teaspoon!

I might not manage to read this tonight, but I will endeavour to do so as soon as possible. Nat and Tilly and Sgt Kennedy! (And Colonel Crichton of course!). I'd totally have a Tilly/Kennedy icon for my lj too, if they, you know, existed outside of your fic. :-)

Ah, but you're busy! Writing The Spartans must come first.

Aw, and where's your normal Delgado icon. Mind you, this one is less distracting from my point of view, but still... :lol:

Hah. I'll have to see if I can get one of those people from DbyA who can draw to a) read my fic and then b) make you an icon. Before I kill off Sgt. Kennedy and put a stop to this madness. ;-p

Fun...

Beta-ish comment about one bit:

Dr Webber, who was UNIT’s current scientific advisor, only grinned back at his assistant, since his success rate with many of the other items that were in storage in the lab had either been minimal, or on occasion, disastrous, so he wasn’t about to let her dampen his pleasure at the achievement of mending this one.

Semi-colon not comma after "assistant", and you don't need that "so" after "disastrous" (if you read the sentence as starting from "Since his..." that should be clear).

Thank you! What would I do without you?

*looks at sentence* It would probably be better if I'd written something less involved in the first place... ;-)

Considering how often I perpetrate involved sentences, I don't think I can comment! :D

I split it into two sentences. Now the poor thing looks a bit less tortured by commas. ;-)

I hadn't noticed, so you must be able to carry them off with style!
