Fic: Eleven Shillings Make Nine Short of a Pound (Jo/Will Hoffman)

Jun 21, 2008 14:27

I love this comm. Am I allowed to say that if it's my own? But I do - I finally got something done! The prompt was Jo/Will Hoffman/reverse the polarity. The elephant, eleven shillings, and Margaret Thatcher thing is an inside joke of mine, sorry. Hope to see more fic soon - new claim post goes up on Monday!

Hoffman fic! Cool! I could see him and Jo getting along really well, I like how you've written them here.

One thing though, you have them droping a foot and a half to a new level, shouldn't that be a bigger distance?

Thank you! I was excited to get his name in a prompt, because I've never seen fic for him.

And thanks - d'oh, that's what comes from stitching together two possible endings I had going, the foot and a half drop was for a different "thrilling outcome". Thanks for pointing it out, have fixed it... :)

This is brilliant. I really need to listen to UNIT.

Thank you so much, hon! They're terrific audios, and Hoffman's a fun character - he gets really fleshed out in the Short Trips as well. :)

They've been on my list. Somewhere behind Benny and in front of the Daleks. Perhaps they can move up a bit.

Mystery! Action! Romance! UNIT! What else could one seek from a story? You did a nice job with the characters, I felt like I got a real sense of Will even though I haven't heard any of his audios.

Thanks so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Will's quite a cool character, so I had fun writing it - thanks for reading even if you didn't know him. :D

Yay! I love your Jo, a bit scatty with her huge handbag but calmly saving the day without making a fuss about it, and this "that same look in her eyes, of the opportunity for endless adventure, for travel and freedom and laughter" is such a great description of her. Of course Hoff would be entranced :) I also liked the image of him beleaguered by people with mad and possibly true stories.

Thanks so much, hon, I'm so glad you liked it! Thanks for the lovely, detailed comment. :D
