I love these Action Figure stories, rusty_armour and I really enjoyed this one.
That's such a kind thing to say, karen9! Thank you very much! :-D I'm so glad you enjoyed this latest insane adventure!
That's a handsome Fifth Doctor you have there. No wonder the tenth is jealous!
Yes, the paper cut-out version of the Fifth Doctor is surprisingly handsome! You could be right about that being the reason for the Tenth Doctor's jealousy! ;-)
He shouldn't insult your flat!
Well...it is fairly insult-worthy if I'm going to be honest... *g*
I like the reference to the Norton anthology and "tome" as a verb (I'm also an English major.)
I'm glad you were amused by the reference to the Norton anthology and Sheppard's use of "tome" as a verb. I'm not at all surprised that you're an English major. :-)
There's lots of great parts, e.g., the two Masters: "We get to wear a frock," the Tenth Doctor storming "off as best he could across rusty_armour’s legs and the futon," the Tribble.
I'm very happy that you found so much in the story to amuse you. :-) I had more fun writing it than I really should have, especially when it came to the two Masters and the Tribble. *g*
I like that Canadians are able to laugh at themselves. Right now I think Americans can only cry.
It could be because Canadians have a massive inferiority complex (Who wouldn't with the US as their neighbour?), but they've become really good at poking fun at themselves. I'm wondering if it's a defence mechanism. We'll make fun of ourselves before anyone else can. I'm pretty sure that's why I developed a sense of humour, anyway. *g* Of course, Canadians can be merciless when it comes to parodying Americans -- probably because they have a front row seat to all of their antics!
I should point out that American comics having been having a field day with Trump and the sorry state of current politics. However, I'm sure that a lot of Americans are crying. I hope, by some miracle, that this changes in the not too distant future.
I don't think Canadians should have an inferiority complex. Canadians are well thought-of in the rest of the English-speaking world. You seem to be sane, compassionate and peaceful people. Our impression is that Canada and New Zealand are the best countries in the world!
That's very kind of you to say. Yes, thankfully, Canadians do seem to have a good reputation in other parts of the world. And the same with New Zealanders -- as you pointed out. :-)
I was being rather harsh with the whole inferiority complex thing. I think Canadians feel a lot more pride in their country and national identity than they used it. We may still struggle over defining who and what we are sometimes, but it's better than it used to be. :-)
