Bitch please-- delightful. I like the distinct voice in this one. I have not thought of that doctor in a long time.

Love it. There's so much potential for crossing these two fandoms!

*dies laughing* That's priceless, absolutely priceless. The Doctor certainly knows how to put a piddling half wilted anchovy like Jack Simpson in his place. Resplendent indeed! XD

This was such a wonderful way to cut Jack down to size. :D Quite appropriate to have the Sixth Doctor of all people to do it. I haven't seen much with him, but it certainly seems to me that you have his 'voice' down pat. :) Eight is my favorite because he's how I ended up in the Doctor Who fandom in the first place (and he's Paul McGann).

Thanks, jestana! Yeah, Sixie is not the fave of a lot of people, but I cottoned to him because I loved his pomposity and thought he struck a great balance between feeling an obligation to help the universe, and being totally full of himself to the point where everybody's annoyed. :-) He's described in one documentary as having a "Gilbert and Sullivan" approach to the character, and I'm a HUGE G&S fan so that explains it!

BTW, I love your avatar. '1776' is one of my favorite movies EVER. Gotta love Richard Henry Lee!

Thanks for the kind words about my fic, everybody! I've been kicking around another 'reply' from Dr. Luis Sebastian, an OC I created back in the day. Not sure anyone here would know who that is, but if it keeps banging on the inside of my skull I might let it out! :-) We'll see how the muse whacks...

Ooh I remember Dr Sebastian! I'd love to read his response :)

I admit I didn't like him at first, but he grew on me, especially after 'The Two Doctors'.

I first saw 1776 in 5th grade, then again in 8th grade and just fell in love. My favorite is Adams, though. ;)
