Aw, Chris. This was adorable. And I can so see him as a Sarah Jane fan. (Shaz, his girlfriend in Ashes to Ashes, even looks a bit like her.)

[neuralclone]

Yes, Chris is rather sweet, isn't he! And I can just see him as a Doctor Who fan, with all the annuals and model Daleks in his bedroom. :-)

this was brilliant ;) I love Chris and you write him so well. I feel a bit sorry for Sam trying to patch up Gene and the Missus and ending up getting shot in the arm for his troubles, but it does make for entertaining reading, thanks!

[neuralclone]

Well I think Gene appreciated his efforts anyway - otherwise he wouldn't have been helping Sam paint his house!

[t_a_n_g_o]

Lovely! This is Chris spot on.

[neuralclone]

Thank you! I'm rather relieved to hear I got Chris's voice right. :-D

Awww, what a cute story! Thank you very much (this was my prompt, after all)!
Chris is spot-on, and I had good fun reading about Gene's troubles with the Missus and Sam and Annie's misunderstandings. Cheers! :)

(Oh, and the Doctor Who reference was great, too: I can so picture Chris as a whovian!)

[neuralclone]

Thank you! And once again, I'm sorry I took so long to finish this (sometimes I wish I could just tell real life to go away because I'm doing something much more important. %-)

(And if you were curious, the DW episode Chris was watching was "Invasion of the Dinosaurs".)

Don't worry, RL can be a terrible nuisance, sometimes. I was late with the Ficathon entry myself (it's HERE, btw).

I've never seen 'Invasion of the Dinosaurs'; is it any good?)

[neuralclone]

"Invasion of the Dinosaurs" - well it has time-travelling dinosaurs invading London, Pertwee, Sarah-Jane Smith, the Brigadier and UNIT - in other words, what's not to love? *G* Well I suppose some of the special effects ARE a bit dodgy...

Thanks for the link. Now I'm no longer writing my story I'll have time to catch on reading (and commenting on) the other ficathon entries.

You already knew I liked this :D

[neuralclone]

I know - thank you! :-D
