Speaking Silence, Epilogue (part 1)

Jul 30, 2007 07:50

Consciousness came slowly to Rose. The first thing she was aware of was the feeling of warmth, followed by the comforting smell of...something-no! someone-familiar. It didn’t feel like her bed, though, and the lighting was wrong for her room...and yet she could hear the hum of the TARDIS, so she was still on the ship.

One little comment, and I get blamed for this? I'm honored :). It's a lovely bit of smut indeed. And an interestingly unique take on Time Lord sexuality, which is quite fun to watch unfold. And I wouldn't call it a kink, exactly, but I always cheer when smut actually deals with the condom issue, especially when it does so without losing any of its hotness. So, kudos for that as well. Since the condom conversation was one of my favorite bits of the main story, it carries over nicely.

My only suggestion would be to leave the font on default; I've got bad eyesight, and I usually get around things I can't easily read due to size or style by rendering the page in my own flist style, but apparently this one's got a font hard-coded in the entry. Some kinds of distractions are better than others ;).

We wouldn't say it's blame, not really ;) We took it as a challenge, but not in the confrontational sense of "She dared us to--we must!"; more in the 'let's push our limits' sense. We'd be lying if we said we didn't enjoy thinking out the particulars of this one, and leave it at that. ;)

As you've got The Poster replying today, I'll lapse into first person. Font on default...hard coding...my brain has gone kablooey. I understand the basics of the concept--going into the html side and tweaking things--but every time I do that, the post goes to hell. As a stopgap, I've gone and changed the text in both posts over to Times New Roman, so maybe that will help? At least temporarily, until I'm away from work and can really concentrate on defeating LJ?

Times New Roman works well for me :).

Phew. As The Poster, I really need to learn the nuances of LJ. That, however, can wait another day...or at least until I've caught up on sleep.

I'll make a note to post in TNR; I've no doubt you're not alone in finding Poor Richard to be a nightmare to read.

Oh--and thanks again for the inspiration. :) We say this all of the time, I know, but it's especially true on this one: we had a blast writing it.

As if I didn't love this fic enough, then you add the bit about the 'in bed' game with the fortune cookies. LMAO! This is awesome! *moves onto part 2*

carlisle_coop July 30 2007, 22:58:00 UTC

The fortune cookie game is universal!

“We should maybe have breakfast,” he said, as if he hadn’t just tossed her knickers over his shoulder.

I loved this moment. Poor Doctor. He is clueless, and that's a big part of why we're all so darned fond of him.

I loved the story as it was, and I'm tickled to find this. A unique perspective, and a very welcome one.

carlisle_coop July 31 2007, 00:19:15 UTC

He *is* clueless. And you're right: If he wasn't, we wouldn't love him half so much.

Very, very glad that you liked the epilogue!

this is satisfyingly long, I 'hear' his voice and hers but I'm all a twitter about his...
interesting original take on Timelord biology, encourages that satisfying longness, mmmm

carlisle_coop July 31 2007, 11:17:20 UTC

encourages that satisfying longness, mmmm

Oh yes. Indeed. :)

I'm very happy to see this story continue and I'm definitely loving the direction you're going with it.

Again you've managed to characterize The Doctor perfectly, right down to that breakfast bit that was mentioned earlier as well as the way he sort of just slips into his lecture-type mode. :D

*goes to finish up the story*

carlisle_coop August 1 2007, 12:19:34 UTC

I'm very happy to see this story continue and I'm definitely loving the direction you're going with it.

Thank you! This was definitely a new path for us to try, and we're so glad that others are enjoying the results of our adventure.

Ten, Ten, Ten...even in bed, he just can't help lapsing into certain habits. ;)
