Oh, that was absolutely interesting and HOT and reaaly reallly good!

sinecure June 18 2009, 18:27:39 UTC

Thank you very much. :)

Again with the hot. I think I need to just stop writing smut and do this sort of thing. No more smut! Yay!

Aw, this is so sweet. I love this. Those two definitely needed some kind of outside force to help them along.

sinecure June 18 2009, 18:29:13 UTC

Thanks. They do occasionally. Except when I make them not need the help.

Dance, my little puppets! Dance!

My brain has been violated in the most delicious way. LOL! The Doctor-Cassandra was quite amusing and I could definitely see him using her to say and do the things he can't. But I just can't get over how I completely put aside the creepiness of it being Cassandra and kept thinking "this is hot!"

sinecure June 18 2009, 18:31:44 UTC

lol! Sorry, didn't mean to violate you.

He's such a coward at times.

Oh, oh, me too! It didn't bother me at all, though Cassandra is just really... *shudders*

I enjoyed this a lot! I got a little uncomfortable with Cassandra in control of the Doctor, making him do things he didn't want to, but then as it turned out that was his plan all along, hooray!

One teensy typo I noticed:
Panting now, Rose fought the affect the Doctor's voice, carrying Cassandra's words, had on her.

Should be 'effect'. :)

Thanks for sharing this!

sinecure June 18 2009, 18:34:00 UTC

Thank you! :)

Heh, yeah. I guess I never looked at it that way since I knew he was using her to tell Rose.

Thank you! I cannot seem to get the affect vs. effect thing down. Ever. It bugs the crap out of me, but I just can't figure it out. Thank you for pointing it out, I really appreciate it. :)

"Affect" is a verb. "My husband's politics won't affect how I vote." "If I ever see David Tennant, I'll just affect nonchalance."

"Effect" is a noun. "The effect the Doctor's voice...had on her." "Drugs can have bad side effects."

Once in a great while, they change parts of speech, but those are specific cases. The verb "effect" is really only used in things like "We will effect change" - meaning to bring about, and the noun "affect" is about appearance, like "the sociopath has a flat affect."

Stick with "affect=verb; effect=noun", and you'll be right most of the time.

And, as many times as I've read that same thing on all the grammar sites, it probably won't stick. I don't know what it is about those two words, but them + me = badness.

Thanks for explaining it though. Maybe this time it'll stick. Here's hoping. :)

I would never in a million years thought Cassandra in the Doctor's body could be hot. But, you've proven me wrong, and in a most fabulous way! :D

sinecure June 18 2009, 18:34:55 UTC

I know, me either! But apparently it is. Huh.

Glad I could be of help. ;)
