Fic: Huntress

Fic: Huntress

Well, since RTD's decided to render my Romana-in-the-Time War fic obsolete, I thought I'd go for some Romana-in-E-Space instead. After a fashion. I've been wanting to write this for a while and it takes a lot of inspiration from my good buddy Clocketpatch, who has written some great Romana-in-E-Space fic that suggests that, in keeping with the very uncompromising tone of Warrior's Gate, it might not have been all good times and awesomeness as we Romana fans might like to imagine. E-Space is, of course, green and not black. I hope the assumptions of the POV character don't repel you to the point where you can't read this - he's supposed to be an unpleasant piece of work. Lots of references to Warriors' Gate, and the Antonine Killers and their blockade come from the Target novelisation of same by John Lydecker (a pseudonym for Stephen Gallagher), although I've kind of added my own spin on it all. As ever, Doctor Who and its characters and copyrights definitely do not belong to me.

Hey, remember to post this on places like lordsoftime, romanafen, greenbubblewrap 'cause all those could use an update.

I'll leave you a review tomorrow. I loved this overall but I do a couple of points I'd like to adress. Not that you should take review from someone who has posted one single mini-drabble in all her time in fandom too seriously.

Your wish is my command! ;D

I'll be interested to see what you think of it. I think it was more a coolish idea for a fic than anything - telling it all from the point of view of this horrible OC. I don't know if the characterisation of Romana is at all plausible or logical or anything like that, but then again the setting depicted in Warriors' Gate when there were no clear-cut heroes and both sides seemed capable of terrible cruelty and, for want of a better word, humanity, while at the same time thinking themselves to be perfectly ordinary, decent people...well, that sort of stuff might wear down your moral ideals fairly quickly if you weren't as experienced at this sort of stuff as the Doctor. But in any case, I look forward to seeing your ideas on it.
