Wow, you've been busy - another story already! Not that I'm complaining... sounds like fun. :-)

Heh. Actually, I wrote the other about three or four weeks ago, because I knew I'd be busy nearer to Christmas. Although I did add in all the songs rather later. And between the Ten Times fic and the meme, both kept me from writing the fics I'm actually writing last weekend & yesterday.

*pouts* No Martha... Which, considering she was with Ten when we got our first inkling of him upsetting Queen Bess, is definitely pout-worthy...

ETA as I do my post-posting beta thing:

While I may be forced to accept that that contraption of yours took you elsewhere briefly, you can hardly me to believe this nonsense.

"expect" after "hardly"

She retaliated by sweeping her to her feet

Pretty sure you don't need that first "her"!

Oh, you are right as always and I have been and gone and fixed it.

And, I would very much have liked Martha in it, but One and Ten were only in it as kind of book-ends and I couldn't. Mind you, I am also very sorry that Peri didn't get to sweep in as Roman lady to rescue Six, but in context it had to be Evelyn. (But the resulting argument would have been quite something...) :lol: And I didn't get Ian or Barbara in it, either, you know.

Yes, I did notice all the other people you left out - but that's kind of missing the point about Martha being with Ten when he discovered he'd pissed off Queen Bess.

Still we all know I'm unreasonably obsessed.

Well, it ended up being very little about QEI, you see. It was as much about Cameca. All those other hinted at on-screen things, too - Marie Curie, Madame Nostradamus, Mrs Pepys, Cleopatra and so on. Now stop pouting; you know I like Martha. The moment she appeared in S3 was the moment I finally felt this new show really was still DW. I'm not entirely sure how related the two things are, but, yes, I like her a lot!

And, um, I think you may be, just a bit. But in a good way (as Ruth would say)! ;-D

Heeee! Fabulous again.

It called for tact and a delicate touch. Thank goodness he was currently enjoying an incarnation that excelled at both. - Oh, Doctor. Not at all.

The Doctor marched towards the interloper. “Curses, I believe I’ve been foiled again. Yes, it’s true, vicar: I’m nothing but a shameless wretch who goes round entrapping unfortunate females into marriage and then running off with their worldly goods, trampling their hearts into the ground as I go. And I’m not in the least bit sorry, either.” - This had me giggling madly! And Charley - YAY. Brilliant all round.

Aw, thanks! I've had some lovely reviews over at Teaspoon and now you've just highlighted my only two lines-I-was-proud-of that someone else didn't.

(The second one only because I can just hear Paul McGann saying this with enthusiasm while being completely unconvincing at the same time.) And, yes, yay Charley! ;-)

And I was so not supposed to be writing this one. *sigh*
