Hee, brilliant! I loved the bit about Star Wars at the end. Fantastic ^^

Thanks. Of course, Jack could be lying. He does that a lot. :-)

Oh, excellent and there's a chance for a Donna fix. :)

[lindenharp]

Thanks. There was such a flood of fix-it fics after "Journey's End" that I considered putting in my summary "this is not a fix-Donna story". (Not that there's anything wrong with fixing Donna.) I think there's hope for Donna, but it may take time and sacrifice and pain.

[ancientcitadel]

Well quick fixes have there place and can be a lot of fun, but slower fixes are often more interesting because of the journey getting there. :)

Uh huh. One of the common suggestion for how to write interesting fiction is "be mean to your characters".

It's also realistic. Life is unfair. Sometimes, there are no happy endings.

I missed this yesterday on account of going to see a Time Lord and a starship captain on stage together.

Still, it's a great finish to the story - and I'd love to see more CoT stories if you ever feel like writing more.

I felt sorry for Martha worrying over Chris Turner (but that's what she does!)

How was it? The reviews I've read have mostly been very good.

I may well do so at some point -- I just hadn't thought about it until someone asked.

LOL!

Absolutely bloody brilliant! If you want to read a full account there's a public post over on my LJ so feel free to go and read it.

Fair enough!

CoT Part 6

[mickeyk]

On Saturday they gather earlier than usual for the weekly meeting. It’s in the Hub this time, and everyone is present. Luke is thrilled to finally meet Myfanwy, and Sarah Jane gives reluctant permission for him to feed chocolate to the pterodactyl. She feels better when Ianto promises to supervise the encounter.

Woohoo!

Hee, love this:

Jack raises a glass in Sarah Jane’s direction. “To my lovely co-star. You deserve an BAFTA for that magnificent performance.”

She salutes him with her own glass. “You deserve two awards for that double role. I was almost ready to believe you were an alien.”

“How do you know I’m not?” he replies in the eerie, inhuman voice of the Zajedir.

Sarah Jane laughs out loud and Mickey sputters. Martha nearly chokes on a mouthful of champagne. Grinning, Jack tugs the Ergossian ring off his hand and tosses it to Ianto. “That can go back to storage.”

Jack shrugs. “I’d threaten him again if I thought it would do any good

You write great Jack, and I hope you'll write more, lots more, with him.

Thank you. It's been suggested that there should be other CoT stories, and perhaps I will. But I'll certainly write Jack again. If you haven't read them, you might like my two stories about Jack on the TARDIS, Clues and Choices (read them in that order).

ROTFLMAO! You're lucky I wasn't eating or drinking anything at the time or you'd owe me a new keyboard!

You could try. I am a member of an international secret conspiracy of fanfic writers who aim to destroy keyboards all over the planet. *evil laugh*.

Even a special appearance by the Doctor himself! Very nicely done.

Thanks. It seemed appropriate, even though he was very reluctant to appear.

Great writing! I want you to follow up to this topic!?!

[lindenharp]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I have no current plans for a sequel, but anything is possible.
