Well, That's a Relief...

Fic: Doctor Who and the Temple of Chrysogonax, or; The Quatermain Xpedition

Part the Third:

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 tolost_spook and akashasheiress for their vital input on a crucially important point; you know the bit I'm talking about. :)

Well, yeah, the Nimon are actually fairly decent baddies with A Plan, and they go about it in a pleasingly underhanded way. Them looking cheap/daft is not, in my opinion, a legitimate criticism since they probably made the story on about £2.50 (and that all went on Tommy B's drinks!)XD

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. :)

It's sort of Romana's ''graduation'' story: She does most of the planet rescuing and basically takes over the Doctor's role for a story. The Doctor tried to take credit afterwards and she had to hit him with a riding crop or something.

Or something...

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."

No, a riding crop!: http://community.livejournal.com/sizeofthatthing/1620.html?thread=1672276#t1672276 (No, I didn't write it, but it's so canon).

That was...well...remarkable, I suppose, and goes to prove my point about well-written smut (ie. that whether smut's your thing or not, it does sometimes have its merits). The incidental bits of dialogue were so in character that it makes you wonder about the rest of it O.o And it even had K-9 being passive-aggressive with the Doctor, which is something I always appreciate.

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

I kind of forgot how explicit that actually was when I linked it.:P Hey, I suppose you need some variation if you're together that long.;) Hey, you could practise your smut anonymously on there!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

And nobody would ever know...er, I mean, preposterous suggestion! XD

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

There a whole list of unfilled prompts!

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

See, this is the kind of thing people mean when they talk about temptation being placed in their path... :-D

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes indeed.

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Oh...my... O.o

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

The one with the condoms looks like it could be great fun!XD

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

LOL - the one that really amused me for some reason was Irongron/Bloodaxe...I like their crazy thinking, whoever they are!

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

Four would be all evasive and never get to the point and Romana would be frank and explicit.:D

I... don't know who Irongron and Bloodaxe are.D:

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

Yes, it does seem very true to life! XD

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

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, I've only seen The Time Warrior once, a while ago. See, the kinkmeme is also about lulz.;)

''Hello there! You know those times when you're in the middle of something fun and impediments show up and you have to get said impediments out of the way before the fun can continue?''

''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.''

[akashasheiress.livejournal.com]

Why don't you just fill in the rest and post it to the meme?;)

[jjpor.livejournal.com]

I might at that...rest assured, if I do get around to writing some serious smut, you'll be the first to know. ;D
