Fic: The Spartans, Part Seven: The Immortals

Well, at long last, the Battle of Thermopylae gets underway, so be aware that it gets a wee bit bloody. I hope it doesn't come across as gruesome war-pr0n for its own sake, but rather as an attempt to at least give the illusion of realism. I don't know whether Polly should know that the Doctor isn't human, because the pre-War Games stories tended to be a bit vague on that point, but I just wanted that bit of dialogue. And the thing about the Immortals attacking in silence is something I think I nicked from the movie "300"; I can't find any reliable references to it happening in real life. Ah well, the rule of kewl applies in this case, I guess... ;D

This makes me wish that I could write!

Oh, I'm sure you can write; it's just hard, isn't it, having the confidence to put stuff out there for scrutiny. I remember how anxious I was the first time I posted anything online, but people were very kind and supportive of it, and that gave me the confidence to go on - the Teaspoon's very good for that! XD. I'd be very interested to read anything you wrote, anyway.
