Fic: UNIT - Silver Bullet

[thisbluespirit]

Normal service will be resumed at some point with memes and catching up with people and all, but I posted Chapter 1 of the next UNIT fic this evening:

UNIT: Silver Bullet

(Waiting for the okay onto Teaspoon).

Unlike the last one, this is back to proper UNIT stuffs, with monsters and running around, and a cameo from Liz Shaw... and possibly one or two other unexplained happenings (all will become clear in time).

(But I had a lovely weekend!)

I haven't seen War Time, so I'm glad you added that explanation, or I would have been even more confused than I am. Oh, I often have metaphors. Sometimes I even run to similes as well, but I'm not so good at those. (That was the hardest part of attempting to write like PG Wodehouse. I was going to say I expect you got that, too, but then you have more similes in general...) ;-)

Kennedy certainly won't yell about his name being John, or Johnny, because it's not, & Nat's the one with the dead dad, Tilly's the one with the dead everybody. His dark secret, as far as I know (he's not all that communicative, tho'...) is what Nat doesn't know about him and Kate. :-D

Yep. That was my point. :-) I'm sure all things will be well and all manner of things will be well. Eventually. Yes, sorry. Stuff is improving, I'm sure. Just been a trying week, and it was only four days long for me...

Now, I was supposed to be writing UNIT running around Tarr Steps chasing a wolf, wasn't I?

War Time is...interesting... We watched it as part of one of those, ahem, perfectly legal, ahem, DbyA "DW Live" sessions, otherwise I'm sure I never would have bothered, but well, now I can say I've seen it. The thing about it is, Benton has always struck me as pretty much a what-you-see-is-what-you-get sort of character, therefore the least likely UNIT type to have a dark and troubled past that needed exploring in the medium of semi-pro fan video... Still, on the plus side John Levene turns in a truly bizarre and deeply amusing performance, and his dead dad is played by Michael "Davros and that bloke out of Terror of the Autons" Wisher. So that's nice.

Yeah, similes and metaphors - I used to know which was which buy now I get them mixed up! That Wodehouse thing...I don't know, I was like in the zone or something when I wrote that, mostly in one sitting too. I don't know if I could do it (or attempt it!) again. A lot of the dialogue there though is based on things I remembered from watching Jeeves and Wooster repeats on ITV3, so I'm not going to go around bragging or anything! :D

And if Nat found out I'm sure he'd be terribly...British...about it. Or maybe not; he might be okay with the idea. Or not.

Aw well, I hope things do improve for you in the long run and that all the nonsense isn't too painful in the meantime. And yes, I expect to see more wolf-action soon! :D

There's more wolf action, as requested. :-)

Well, so you've seen War Time, then? Well done. ;-D I think I'm glad I haven't, in that case. Wha *are* you implying about DbyA?? 8-o

And if I believe that, I'll believe anything. *rolls eyes* Seems thats the only way to write it, then! I didn't have a Blandings TV to go to. And I must work myself up to it, because I have a lovely prequel/sequel in which Eight and Charley turn up after the same object, which Ten has already taken, with the Master, and Charley becoming a serial fiancee, as it were, and it's based a bit on PG Wodehouse's outline for a sequel to 'Lord Emsworth and the Girlfriend', except less so than it was meant to be. But it's setting aside a bit of space. Once I get these UNIT fics finished, I need to do some of the others that got abandoned, like that. Sorry. I didn't mean to waffle so long there.

I'd better not say anything more about Kennedy & Kate, and Nat and co... Hopefully all will be become clear soon, and then I can kill them all off. ;-)
