Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd

On The Grain Train - I loved that fic. It had everything - time travel, J&W cameos, even the Doctor pretending to be a school teacher. And yes, even that scene where the TARDIS malfunctioned and landed them ON a steam train back when they were popular was hilarious.

First lines: Rose really, really hated days she woke up clinging to the outside of a train. It hadn't happened before, but she hated today and she knew that if it were to happen again, she'd still hate it.

The Doctor was as cheerful as ever, hanging on for dear life and shouting enthusiastically at her. "A real grain train, Rose! A real grain train! I haven't seen one of these in years"I'm so glad you like it," Rose snarled, tightening her grip. "Where's the TARDIS

*dies laughing* Or the one where Aunt Agatha tries to convince Bertie to befriend and marry Donna, without realizing who she is.

Or: this is awesome: My favorite scenes: There are so many! Like the one where the Doctor takes a job at Bertie's school while he's still there, and then later Bertie remembers him! And wonders why he hasn't aged a day.

That would also be SO SWEET, too. :D

And because I must.

One of my crackiest, for sure.

First lines: "Am I finally ginger?"

"No, you're just sorta brown-ish."

"Damnit, I wanted to be GINGER! At this rate, I'll never be ginger! So, how do I look?"

Jack faltered a little, trying to think of a way to describe him. "Different."

"Well, of course. I'm going to go find a mirror now." The Doctor disappeared into one of the TARDIS' rooms.

Jack followed hesitantly.

"Good Lord. I look like that guy. From TV."

"House?"

"No, no. Um... Jeeves. The guy who played Jeeves. 'Cept a bit older."

Last lines: "So, we've finally got that sorted out."

"What happened?"

Ten grinned excitedly. "It was cool. Instead of regenerating when I got injured (funny things keep happening to me during regenerations...), the regeneration energy put this body into stasis and grabbed a random body to inhabit until this one got sorted properly."

"Why?"

"I think it's a lingering side-effect from the earlier human-Time Lord biological metacrisis and the last regeneration I avoided. But now, I've got my body back, and

Biggest problem I had writing it: Pretty much all of it. Trying to figure out what kind of a Doctor Stephen Fry would make was hard, and I really didn't want to write an epic, but man, trying to write an 11th Doctor fic's hard. There's so much to cover, so much to try to explain. Kinda obvious, even in the cop-out ending.

Why it almost didn't get posted: For a looong time, it felt kinda sloppy and ill-thought out. I had to put in a lot of extra work, trying to clean it up. And keep my version of Eleven in character.

The scene that hit the cutting room floor: Stephen Fry-as-the-Doctor meeting himself in the past. It was fun as hell, because neither understood what was going on, but it didn't further the plot at all and it was really random and just ill-fitting, so it had to go.

My favorite scene: SF-as-the-Doctor meeting Hugh Laurie.

Favorite scene: YES OMG YES YES

How many icons will you require as a bribe so you'll write this?

The story about Lauren's appendicitis - I will always love that story the best!

I love "Jeeves and the Pompous Ass", your Wodehouse/Agatha Christie crossover, especially when Bertie finds the dead body and pukes on the purple suede shoes Jeeves was trying to make him get rid of, and that Jeeves solved the murder before Poirot did! I also loved the fact that even Bertie knew better than to pick up the knife and just stand there looking like he did it.
