Funniest. Crossover. Ever.

Jul 27, 2008 20:58

And speaking of crossover ficathons and fic recommendations, the dw_cross stories are going up -- at a rate of one a day, for reasons I'm not entirely clear on -- and today's fic is a Blackadder crossover which I finished reading a few minutes ago and am still giggling at.

Man, what a great weekend this has been for fic!

Blackadder? Toddling over there now...

Blackadder II, to be specific. And Ten, which I know will count as a negative for you. But, oh, it is marvelous. :)

hey, as long as I don't have to see Tennant's bad acting, I can live with Ten :) And given that we have a comedian over here - Frank Woodley - who I think is a dead ringer for Ten's completely insane older brother, I'll just happily imagine him as the Doctor (this is not recommended for ship, btw, unless you like the feel of a broken brain :)

I saw it posted, but I didn't read it until you recced it, because I've never seen Blackadder. But, it was very funny, yes.

It has Blackadder's sensibility and sense of humor down perfectly.

Thanks for the rec! I've been a fan of Blackadder almost as long as of DW, so this is great. :D

astrogirl2 July 28 2008, 04:45:36 UTC

Me, too! And the second Blackadder was always my favorite.

Ooh, thanks for the rec! That was a great story.

That was brilliantly funny! I kept laughing and finally Greg made me print it out and he enjoyed it as much as I did. The writer had the voices spot-on.

Blackadder's particular comic sensibility has got to be hard to get exactly right -- I don't think I'd be brave enough to even attempt it -- and this fic nailed it. Hysterically. What really got me, though, was how perfectly well Ten fit in. :)

vilakins July 28 2008, 06:34:52 UTC

It was made of awesome. Absolutely brilliant stuff. I think Ten fits because he's so OTT manic.

I have no idea who the Monk is and it doesn't matter. :-)

The Monk is from a Hartnell episode, "The Time Meddler." He's great fun, really. Unlike the Master, he isn't actually evil, just sort of mischievous. The plan in the story does sound like something he would do, I think. For the lols. :)
