Fic: Circles (Prompt Fill #7)
Another prompt ficlet (or actual fic, I suppose, flimsy as it is).
From belantana: Nat and Tilly are stuck in a closet (up to you whether this is before or after they're married!) I assumed from this that at least some mild Nat/Tillyness was required… (Nat and Tilly being my 1980s UNIT OCs from a scarily epic series of Doctor Who fanfics I did a while ( Read more... )

You post this the very day (possibly the very hour) I come back to LJ?? YOU ARE PSYCHIC AREN'T YOU.
My dear I love this I love it! It's totally not what I imagined at all (I would've been delighted with just the first part, or indeed any of the parts), NOT ONLY are Nat and Tilly stuck in a closet but ALSO there are aliens and ALSO there is plot and ALSO Tilly saves the day and ALSO ALSO ALSO they kiss.
I didn't realise how much I missed these two until I met them again. And I don't know if this is just me being 3 weeks behind but wow have you ever got your fic writing powers back, I hope writing something this long and fabulous doesn't mean you have to do nothing for a week!
Thank youuuuu for writing my prompt!

I'm not psychic, I just have scary magic powers. I decided you would come back to LJ whenever I finally posted it, and YOU DID. (Or you are psychic, of course.) Sadly, I can't use them on purpose. But it worked when I decided Jury Service would be a way out of work, and also when I decided that 2011 would see the return of some missing DW episodes. I hope it wasn't inconvenient for you? ;-D
I typed it up a while ago, nearly 2 weeks, I think, and was doing pretty well, until I got carried away last week reading Crime and Punishment. (It was the Russians.)
And, since I had been thinking about Nat and Tilly still and doing some scribbling with them while I've been ill, I didn't think it had been that long since I'd written them, but I seem to have leapt on the prompt like a person who only at that moment realised she was hungry. :lol: Other people's characters are just not as satisfactory to write as your own. So, thank you ( ... )

Damn those Russians! Never to be trusted, especially in book form. Oh hey, I hope you had a nice Easter too! I somehow managed to eat absolutely no chocolate but I had a lovely time nevertheless.
I'm glad Nat and Tilly were fun to write again. And I'm sure this isn't the last of them either, yes? :D :D

No, hopefully there is still a bit more proper Nat and Tilly to come - I had half a chapter of the missing fic typed up before I was ill last Jan (and the whole thing is written out in rough, so it exists). Hopefully, I don't know.
Crime and Punishment was apparently a marvellous thing I did not know I needed in my life, for various reasons that would only make me sound like a crazy person to go into, but anyway.

...and Sgt Kennedy too, obviously! ;D
Very nice indeed - I always like the way you capture all of your OCs' voices very distinctively, especially Tilly's, or so it seems to me.

My only complaint is this was much too brief, of course - I love "groundhog day" type time loopy things, this was such fun.
