jjporFic: 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

I just started a protest on DbyA because No Spartans this weekend!
I have to say that was the shortest lived and most successful protest I've ever been involved in.
*retires with becoming modesty*
*coughs* Sorry about that, when you see the post... *blushes*
