[sue_denimme]

I take it you liked it, then? :-)

[fanbot]

De-light-ful!

(I had a thing for scarf-and-curls too)

[sue_denimme]

Yeah, Four was my first Doctor, so he's got a special place in my affections too. :-)

This pairing is not a favourite of mine but I thoroughly enjoyed this because it was very IC. Love their banter.

[sue_denimme]

Thanks. 99% of the fic I read is pairings I'm not into (because there aren't really any I *am* into), so I can definitely relate.

I am not a shipper type either, but i really like the nice simple idea that this regeneration has both more of a libido and more of an effect onwomen than earlier ones: he's and alien godammit! and it fits the canon!

But I thought it was only "slash" if it was man/man?

[surliminal]

oh and by the way that sudden run-on "oh don't stop" is a powerfully sexy and IC line:-)

[sue_denimme]

Well, usually the term "slash" (with regards to fanfic) does refer to sexual/romantic things happening between two characters of the same sex. (Female/female slash does exist and is called femslash).

But in a header like the one I used, the "/" is only used to distinguish fics that include sexual/romantic things happening from ones that don't. It has nothing to do with the genders of the characters.

Example: "Ten/Sarah Jane" = the fic is about them being in love and/or having sex. "Ten + Sarah Jane" or "Ten and Sarah Jane" = the fic is about their friendship, with no romance or sex involved.

I hope that helps, and thanks for the comment! :-)

Sweet...

Query (not a Brit pick particularly):
Brekkie? How old is Sarah Jane? Four? I can't hear her calling it that.

[sue_denimme]

Is that considered a childish word, then? There was no indication of that in the British slang glossary I checked. If so, do you have any suggestions for what I could change it to?

[persiflage_1]

Personally I don't know anyone over 10 who calls it brekkie unless they're being ironic, which Sarah Jane is not. "Breakfast" will suffice instead.

[sue_denimme]

All right, then. I am really trying to get the British tone right, more than I have done in the past, and I'm very grateful for the help.
