Eighth Doctor Drabble: Departures

Dec 26, 2007 16:59

A departure from my usual content for this drabble; it's the first time I've written the Eighth Doctor, and I hope I haven't made too much of a mess of it.

This one's for the lovely

Waah! ::wibbles::

Despite its inherent melancholy, this was a lovely, lovely gift to come home to. Thank you so much, my dear, for the Christmas present.

And you know that I love beta-reading your work anytime I can possibly find time to do so, right?

::hugs::

Phew! I'm so glad that this worked for you and that you like it! As you know, I'm far less familiar with Eight than with Nine or Ten, but I do know that you've been following and really enjoying the BF audios. This, of course, was inspired by that comment you made about this audio in the last chapter you BRed for me.

Thank you :))) *hugs back*

Thank you :)

You're welcome. It's always hard to comment on a drabble, and my brain is muchly elsewhere... but that is a beautiful piece, and a lovely moment away from real life.

Very, very nice! It's so awesome to see a sudden resurgence (if anybody was, uh, surging in the first place ;) ) of Eight in the fandom lately. Or maybe it just seems that way to me (I barely even knew he existed until I saw the movie last week, lol! ;) ). Anyway, I was excited to see your take on Eight since I've enjoyed so many of your other fics!

Although, don't get me wrong, I'll always be a staunch Ninegirl, lol! ;) But I've got room in my fangirl heart to love Eight (and Ten and, uh, Four ;) ) as well! I'd love to read more from you about Eight since there's so little canon on him. ;)

I think Eight's more popular than ever before as a result of the audios - the movie did have such a mixed reaction in fandom. I liked it, but my knowledge of Eight generally is pretty thin; just the movie and a couple of novels. So I don't really see myself writing any more Eight since I don't think I can do him justice. I can't hear him in my head, which really would stop me doing anything beyond a drabble like this.

But thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you liked this.

Some are ripped from him - Jamie, Zoe, I’m so sorry.

Oh god. Tears! I love this. So much sorrow and love packed into such a small space. Beautiful.

Oh, thank you! I'm really glad that this little piece was able to evoke that kind of reaction :)
