And so it begins...

*fears for all of them*

Your random idea was even more random than mine. 8-o But Polly is always cool.

You're not taking me seriously there, are you? :lol: If Miss Lonsdale has a private life (and I suppose she must do), she likes to keep it that way - private.

Hmm. Whenever I write something longer, or have done, I always have an idea of where I'm going, but not how I'm getting there. I think seeing where you go when you write it is always worth trying. Depends how you work, though, and I'm not a shining example. ;-)

Yeah, pretty random, but I've been watching quite a bit of Three lately, and Delgado!Master has been very much on my mind (and why not?)

And it's probably for the best - she did have a bit of a soft spot for Leonards, though, didn't she? Or am I remembering it as more significant than it in fact was? :D

Well, the way I work is...well, look at the lovely icon you made for me! :D I do sometimes write plans, more like bullet points than synopses, but they generally don't last long once I actually start putting words down, because bright ideas will occur to me in mid-story etc (might be why I don't finish original fiction very often!) I am thinking quite hard about it right now, though, because I want to know where I'm going so I don't waste any of that fortnight on trying to decide what I'm going to write etc. I figure that really it's a question of throwing stuff at the wall at this stage and seeing what sticks; there'll be time for editing it down a bit later!

[lost_spook]

Oh, slightly less random then! :lol: Just off the back of my musing on the need for more crazy crossovers, you bring me Polly, the Delgado Master and a kaftan, but that makes more sense! You left that bit out. :-D

[jjpor]

See, look, now I've explained it, it makes perfect sense! XD And he also has a medallion - a big gold one like the one the War Chief wears, but more stylish, because he's Delgado!Master!

Yeah, poor old Leonards... I didn't really think about the 20-30 year thing, but of course it would be true. I suppose the new Colonel is happily married and everything..?

Yes, I don't really like starting off with detailed synopses, because I think the making parts of it up on the fly is one of the things that keeps me interested and engaged with a story, although it sometimes means it ends up a bit meandering plot-wise, but that's what the rewrites and editing is for! And that's good advice really; can you sum up your story relatively concisely when you have finished it. I shall bear that in mind.

[lost_spook]

Heh, I'm not sure that the Master isn't too cool for any sort of medallion, but I'm sure you can persuade me otherwise!

Erm, I have no idea about the new Colonel's marital status, but he'd run a mile rather than go out with Miss Lonsdale. Now, stop it, because it really doesn't take much to start pairing people off & it's already much too neatly tied up as it is. Not very realistic. Luckily, nothing else is, so... :lol:

Anyway, hope to write some more soon - I have tomorrow off. :-)

It's an Evil Alien Medallion with Mind Control Powers! He got it on some sort of evil alien teleshopping channel - send no money now!

Yeah, I'll stop now... :D

Look forward to reading it! I wrote a little bit of the Black Bore today, so that was nice.

[lost_spook]

:lol: In the 60s?

And, well done! :-)

Well, one of the advantages of being a Time Lord is that you take advantage of the better shopping opportunities in the future (and he probably got the money to buy it by buying cheap furniture in the past and selling it as antiques in the present...). :D
