Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed it, even with the painful. And by god, Jack. That hair. You know, JB may have hated it, but it suits Jack then, just a little. Sort of. In a cocky playing with popculture kind of way.

[becky_writing]

That one too, definitely *G*

[adafrog]

lol Great story.

[becky_writing]

Thanks!

Sneaky!Jack is made of win.

[becky_writing]

Yay! Thank you!

Wow. Didn't see that coming at all. And I love it. Especially wanting to take his younger self's place in the TARDIS (but you can never go back...) And discovering he wasn't as stupid as he remembered. And the message of hope. Lovely. :-)

As for the hair, totally with you. Horrible, horrible hair. But yeah, it does suit the character as he was then.

Coupla typos... *g*

It's 'The Parting of the Ways'

he couldn't use the lift because the TARDIS parked on top of it. - the TARDIS was parked

It took him three tries to get it in; his hand was shaking so hard. - I'm not sure if it's actually incorrect, but you don't really need a semi-colon here; a comma would be fine. :-)

I'm glad you liked it! It was fun.

I'm having 'brain spring cleaning', to get a bunch of odds and ends out of my brain before November 1st. Which is, as bad as it is, why I'm writing fast and hard, rather than prying things apart as far as I usually do.

And. Thanks! Got it.

Hey, I'm writing hard and fast too, for some reason. I (almost) completely rewrote my Jack & Rose thing today and turned it from 550 words into 1450 words, and I've written two drabbles (though I haven't quite figured out how the second one ends)!

*whispers* The Parting of the Ways

And good! I'm thinking I'm going to end up doing a bunch more of these things in a hurry. There's stuff I need out of my head to make room for the other stuff - and if I'm only averaging one mistake and one iffy bit of punctuation I'm not going to stress too hard. I know it's hypocritical, but this is definitely me being down and dirty to get stuff out there.

I'd count the episode title mistake, but:

That's really obnoxious. I've got episode reviews with it listed all three ways. And my AVI of the ep is mislabeled. I actually had to play the thing to figure out which was right. *eyerolls at self*

Great story. :) The part about the pants had me cracking up. I can definitely see Jack saying something like that. This was a very enjoyable read!

[becky_writing]

Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed it - and those pants *dies*. I'm the only person in the world who eyed them at least as hard as his hair, I think. I'm glad it worked for Jack, too.
