Doctor Who/Hitchhikers crossover: In Which Arthur Finally Manages To Aquire A Proper Cup of Tea

[guiltysecret79]

 
It was entirely fitting that the sublevels of Milliways, the most fashionable eating establishment in the universe, should be packed with an array of spectacular spacecraft. It was also remarkably fortunate if you were in dire need of making a rapid exit from said eating establishment and had omitted to secure transportation in advance. Confronted

Ha! Love this. I'm so glad he finally got a decent cup of tea!

[guiltysecret79]

I know! Tea is important :-)

Oh God. I'm in love.

That was absolutely brilliant. Completely in tune with both series (though I'm imagining the H2G2 BBC series from 1981, if that's okay...) And it's so fantastic Arthur finally gets his cup of tea!!!

Hey, I try to pretend the film never happened ;-D

Glad you enjoyed it!

*giggles* uncontrollably!

Loving it!

[guiltysecret79]

Thanks.

Clearly I managed to make this suitably silly :-)

*giggles* That was absolutely fantastic =D You have the voices of the characters from both verses spot on (I'm particularly fond of the line "The Guide? Yes. The Guide. Very informative. Very guide-y,”), and you remembered the most important thing: a good cup of tea! I loved this.

Thank you :-)

This was hellish to write as it was a bit of an exercise in 'how true can I keep to canon'. In the end, I think it came down rather heavily on the side of H2G2, possibly because that's books not just TV. I'm particularly fond of the way Douglas Adams wrote, so I guess it was inevitable.

If you hadn't guessed, that was me :0

Erm. One presumes you are aware that DW also officially includes some few hundred novels, comic books, and audio plays?

That was lovely, and better-written than a Vogon poem.

[guiltysecret79]

Thank you... I think :-D

Perhaps I'll have a go at some Vogon poetry next (I don't think I'd quite be up to Nancy Millstone-Jennings standard!)
