This was written for dbskyler's Doctor Who 50th anniversary ficathon.  Skyler included a prompt for any fic based on The Curse of Fatal Death, with "Bonus points for lots of silly humor

Well, this was the excuse I've always needed to watch TCOFD, for which I thank you...I think. LOL

And then your fic made sense, and also explained TCOFD perfectly reasonably, plus containing much silliness to boot. YAY! :-D

There are also a couple of hysterically funny vids out there of David Tennant in drag (including one where he's the Companion, and is wearing shiny spike-heel pumps). Actually, he looks rather good in a dress and wig.

SQUEEEE!!!!!

The very first fic of dw_50ficathon, and it was my prompt, and COFD fic, with bonus silly humor!

“Certainly not. We could spend years just listening to the egocentric monologues.” and Most planets these days seem to be all corridors all the time anyway. I loved the whole fic, but I particularly loved these lines. <3 <3 <3

Thank you for participating, and feel free to go claim another year if you are so inclined. :)

(And sorry you had trouble with Teaspoon. I actually find their interface far easier to use than ff.net, but it's all in what you're used to, I suppose. If you're uploading this to A03, you should be able to copy-and-paste the exact same text into the Teaspoon submission system, though. Just get rid of the joke in the summary, and you should be fine. You can put the joke in the author's note instead.)

Um, I just left you a long comment and got a message back saying it was marked as spam! No idea why . . . Anyway, hopefully you can retrieve it? Or at least read it?

(If not, let me know and I'll write you a new comment. Here's the short summary of what I wrote: SQUEEEE!!!!!!!)

Your comment is released from durance vile! I hope its trip through the sewers wasn't too icky.

Thank you very much for the encouragement, and even more for the suggestion about running the text through Ao3 first and copying from there. That will make a MAJOR difference

teaspoon!!!!

they are very silly to reject, weird summary format or otherwise, for this is most amusing. the jokes keep coming and they're all gooduns. i like the sky in the shade of tegan's universe and the terrible flashbacks particularly.

enjoyed very much :D

Thank you so much!!

Skyler has consoled me and advised me, so I'll give Teaspoon another try.

I made the happy mistake of reading this at work, and now my coworkers are all looking at me strangely. :-D

You had me hooked at “We could get a bigger sofa.”

[lolmac]

Bigger sofas are always good!
