I have had a really miserable day, with a vast amount of crying at work, where I still am, and I should not have read this, and I did and you made me smile, so thank you.
Can I just say, I love DVD commentary. I wish I wrote enough that people would actually care about my writing process, but, que sera. Anyway, it would just be a lot of, "It came to me in the middle of the night and I had to get out of bed and find my glasses and find a pen that worked and write it down on the back of Panda Express receipt."
ANYWAY.
Unfortunately that one happens about nine hundred years too late. Oops. I like this theme throughout the story, it fits in well with this comment you made: Koschei is beyond the point where he's capable of making apologies; Theta is still hundreds of years too young to forgive him. Basically, they're fucked. ... and I think you're completely right.
Gallifreyan wordporn FTW. I need to go read Mendelian Inheritance. Again. For the fiftieth time.
I think the lack of shouting makes it a good deal worse. You're completely right. Shouting is catharsis. This is a crumbling.
...the cardinal rule of the Master: every time you think he's beyond your power to help, he goes and does
( ... )
I am interested in everyone's writing process, man; if you did DVD commentary I would be all over it. (Also it would make me feel less pretentious about mine; I was just reading it over for errors and I went "holy god, I'm doing literary analysis of my own damn fanfic".)
Everyone needs to read Mendelian Inheritance again for the fiftieth time. XD
And YES, shouting as catharsis and that scene as crumbling. Thank you! Suddenly it makes a lot more sense to me, actually.
If you end up getting that tattooed, get it tattooed very small so that it all fits. And then take pictures. :D
I would LOVE to come meet you. I have just totally failed to make it to California at any point this year. But IT WILL HAPPEN EVENTUALLY. Hopefully before you and Buff graduate.
One thing I will say about this fic is that it's pushing me to go find some Classic Master, because maybe I will be able to watch a full Classic Who ep if he's around. I've tried, really! But it's so...stilted.
If you're not used to the style in which classic Who is done, it takes a while to get used to. If you want a good Master story that is better-paced than some, and shippy as all get-out, I'd try the Three serial Mind of Evil? It does only exist in black and white, if that will skew your opinion one way or another, but it's one of my favourites.

I might have more to say on it when the homework is over, but I did read all of it.

I did. Thanks for writing this -- it was fascinating.
...I was hoping this time round, they'd end up BFF and live happily ever after.

Heh. I know the feeling. Part of me wants to go "Screw canon, can't they just live crazy adventure-y ever after?" Alas.

Both writing and reading fic DVD commentary is ridiculously addictive, I find. :D
