Without going overboard, I can't say what a relief it is to actually write a proper bit of fic after my barren couple of weeks; I sat down with a couple of beers and my iPod and it just came pouring out. Thank the Lordy... Now, as to how good it actually is, I leave that up to you.
Thanks also to![[info]](https://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
lost_spook and akashasheiress for their vital input on a crucially important point; you know the bit I'm talking about. :)

Date: 2009-03-22 09:59 am (UTC)I'm off to check that Story C works and I should be able to post it today. (After which point, I shall stop being coy and mysterious).
And as for doing fashion design for Romana, that was a nice start to a Saturday. :-D

And if you think of any more good Romana costumes, I'd be more than happy to steal, er, that is, use them. :)

Date: 2009-03-26 02:39 am (UTC)Oh, and the bit about the band of kids -- was kid really in use in Europe at that time, or was that just brilliant hand-waving (in any case I'm impressed at your ability to rhyme pyramids)

Date: 2009-03-26 08:39 pm (UTC)I hope Four and Romana's Statler-and-Waldorf routine and things like the "sting!" aren't too clever-clever for their own good, butting up against the fourth wall as they do. At the time I was prevaricating about writing this, I was watching a lot of Season 17 stories and reading reviews of them online, and was struck by how, well, mean a lot of people still are about things like Creature from the Pit and Horns of Nimon. Sure, they're silly, but they're also hugely entertaining, and even make one or two serious points along the way, and have Four and Romana in them being all adorable and stuff...
So, yeah, I've decided that this is sort of my tribute to those stories and why I love them; hope to continue it soonish.

Date: 2009-03-29 02:13 pm (UTC)And, as you point out, the main thing the story has is Romana being, as the fanvid on YouTube reminds us, Awesome. Especially that bit where she's going mental at the spaceship pilot: "You despicable worm!! Turn back - NOW!!!" And she does that angry-Romana face as she's shouting at him. Excellent. :)

Date: 2009-03-30 07:08 pm (UTC)Yes, it is the classic example of Romana getting on with fixing the spaceship/saving everybody/getting chased by monsters while the Doctor takes some time to do the important stuff - namely larking around and annoying the baddies. As he says in Nightmare of Eden, "Do what you're good at, that's what I always say."

Date: 2009-04-11 03:17 pm (UTC)Bloodaxe and Irongron are two thick medieval guys from The Time Warrior, and, to my way of thinking, the least likely pairing for anyone to write slash about! XD

''Er...''
''This is one of those times!''
''Right. What can I do for you, sir?''
''I'll tell you what you can do for me! It's... well...it's...You know I don't usually need this''
*patient look from cashier*
''Weeeell... what I need is...is... *deep breath* co...lgate''
''There you are, sir''
''Excellent. And then there's the matter of *tugs at scarf* con...con...tact lenses''
''We don't sell those here, sir''
''No? What a shame. Er, then how about... coooo...la?''
''*sigh* Coke or Pepsi*''
*Romana pushes the Doctor aside*
''Three pacs of Durex, ribbed.''
After:
''Thank Rassilon you only ovulate every few decade''
''I was going to ask for Trojans but, you know, their barriers burst.''
