Oh well. Too late now.

Thanks for the tip! I'm sure no one will notice. :)

I feel your pain. I've spent 2 days trying to edit and replace 7 chapters of an earlier fic, and now I'm too scared to add an lj cut in case it all goes to hell again!

Well, for what it's worth, *I* didn't catch the typo!

SRSLY... that was brilliant! A lovely way to break up a crazy afternoon at work. Thank you!

Hooray, I'm so glad that everyone's saying they didn't catch the typo!!! I'm certainly not going to point it out, now, though it's all I can see now when I read through the thing of course. ;)

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I outed myself in the comments, 'cause c'mon, seriously, who wasn't going to know that was me. :)

Hee! I'm off to see if I can find it. ;)

ETA: That was awesome! And I didn't find the typo. ;)

“Still got the sideburns, though, I notice.”

“Well,” he answers, “I liked those.”

lol

The last thing he needs is a crude, alcoholic, sexually aggressive companion who looks just like him.

I don't know, having PV as a companion would have certainly been interesting. ;)

Those two lines you pointed out were possibly my two very favorite. :)

BOO-YAH! I'm so happy no one's caught the typo!!! It's all I can see now, of course, but what're you gonna do. ;)

Glad you enjoyed it!

That happens to me, possibly EVERY time i post an anonymous fic. And the harder I work on it, the more of a groaner the typo will be.

And I didn't notice anything. ;)

Also, I love you for the fic. :D

Oh, this one's a groaner. I'm not gonna point it out, but it's a repeated word type thing, where it's like "Seriously? I READ THAT SECTION TWENTY EFFING TIMES, HOW DID I NOT SEE THAT?!"

I'm so glad you like it...it got much plottier than I expected it to, and every time I'd re-read it I'd be like "Well that doesn't make any sense, MUST ADD MOAR". It's funny, you mentioned in your anon comment that you loved that the sex was on the TARDIS...I totally had not intended the fic to go there, but Ten would not get sexy UNLESS they were on the TARDIS, so finally it was like "Fuck it. Peter, you're goin' for a trip." ;)

Lol. I would have never even thought of him taking Peter for a trip. That was so awesome. And hmm. Your Ten muse has interesting kinks. ;)

I'm trying to write a much more silly thing involving Ten and Peter (*coughandrosecough*) but after reading yours I'm all... well there has to be REASONS. He has to EXPLAIN. There must be STUFF HAPPENING besides sex. So IDEK what it will turn out to be!

More that he's just a control freak, I think. :)

Can't wait to read yours! I left another prompt of my own last night, I'm sure you can guess which one, but I doubt you'll be filling that one. ;) What can I say? I'm a very perverted, very shallow person in a lot of ways. And just because I'm not quite capable yet of writing extended, explicit sex between Peter and Charley doesn't mean others shouldn't be!

ETA that if, for some reason, you do get inspired to fill my prompt, it would make my entire year. ;)
