:lol: That's great! I especially love the long lists of familiar/ridiculous enemies throughout. :-)

(Sorry you had such a problem with Teaspoon! Lke dbskyler, I also find it much easier than the nightmare that is ff.net, but then it was the first online archive I ever used. From what you say about html coding, though, and forgive me if there's something I'm missing, but... you do know that Teaspoon, like AO3 and LJ's html editors, doesn't need paragraph breaks etc. coding in? I tend to put the html in my word docs now I post to several places in the same way, but I used to just c+p from Word into Teaspoon and then code any italics or bold text, or the occasional center, and that's all I've ever needed to do with it.)

It isn't the paragraph breaks, but the formatted text, especially the italics, that was the strain. But mostly, if you saw my response to Skyler, it was my being already staggering and just not having any spoons left, as they say. (In fact, when I gave up and fell over into bed, part of my thought train was "Geez, this is what Lost Spook has to live with all the frigging time . . . )

So, do you think there's room for an adventure titled "Doctor Who and the Lexicons"?

:lol: I find it helpful - it does make me question whether I really need that many italics in the story and so on. :-) (You needn't worry about me, I like the html - as long as no one makes me do anything as tedious as paragraph breaks. I did have to do that once and I would have shot anyone who made me do it again...)

*lends you spoons* ♥

But, of course!!!

Thank you!! The line about the nature of a Panopticon is probably going to sort out the old fans from the new, I think.

I wish I had found the time to read this when I first got the prompt. I am laughing my head off, and I really needed that!

(((Beth))) Howls! Howls of laughter!

I'd never seen tCotFD before!!!! Totes died & went to heaven (& had ABFab flashbacks) when Joanna Lumley & Julia Sawalha shared a MOMENT.

Casting Jonathan Pryce as The Master = BRILLIANT

OMG...I DIED. I couldn't stop laughing all throughout!! So very Doctor and so very 'killthefourthwallwithsporksoffunneh'!! *CACKLES*

This is definitely getting saved to Mems. I think I pulled something while laughing. I blame you. My bill will be hitting your doorstep soon.

Thank you...

*Stifles more giggles*

Oh yes!! It has been a while...a long, LOOONNNNNGGGG while. As in, my fic from that time embarrasses me, lol!! Serious overhauling is needed. I mean...nine-one-one overhauling. *Shudders* Like to think they were good ideas, though. *muses* It has been a while...kinda miss my Mac. And my Jack. *Smiles*

Ohhhhh...

*SNAGS*

*G*

I've got another insanely cracky Who fic, but at the moment it's only on ff.net . . . got to get it up on Ao3 one of these days. Most of my writing is MacGyver fic. Most of it actually is not crack, believe it or not!
