Fic Fun & Games

[thisbluespirit]

Drabbles: I've been battling with a whole load of long fics (you wouldn't believe how many half-written things there are on my pc and in my notebook at the moment) and suddenly realised what I needed was a good drabble. (It's like sharpening your pencil or something). So I managed one I'd been toying with for Love & Science.

And then I worked out the difference between doctorwho_100 and dw100, so now I can join in the weekly challenges. Yay.

Plus, the latest tardis_gen pair of fics are lovely. A Second Doctor, Ben, Polly and Jamie Reciprocal Quandaries that had me hopping up and down for joy and a really unusual piece with Jabe, Jo Grant and Sergeant Benton. (Go, read!)

And a crazy meme I picked up from persiflage_1, which looked like my sort of fun:

Make up a title for a story I didn't write, and I will respond with details of those non-written stories. You may if you like include details, such as pairings or fandom or whatnot.

All this and Ashes to Ashes on TV in about 3 minutes? And it started off such a miserable day...

Green Custard Stains

[thisbluespirit]

I loved both, but Ben, Polly and Two with silly hats and a proper historical? There goes my heart. :-) (And, yes, I noticed - lucky you!!)

And, since I was still in drabble mode, here's the story I didn't write:

***

Liz wiped at the bright green stains on the Doctor’s jacket with a cloth.

“It’s ruined, Brigadier,” he complained.

“If you will accuse the cook of being an alien infiltrator, you might expect to have custard thrown at you.”

“Custard? It was green. Hirieth slime, I tell you – absolutely lethal.”

Liz said, “I analysed a sample. Definitely custard. Apparently she had an accident with food colouring earlier.”

“It certainly tasted like custard,” added the Brigadier. He received two looks of disgust for his unscientific methods.

Then Liz grinned. “I’d better take you to the cleaners, Doctor.”

“Custard,” he said. “Honestly!”

Heh! I still haven't read it - kinda busy yesterday.

(And, yes, I noticed - lucky you!!)

Aren't I?!

*giggles* Thanks! I love that the Brig used the unscientific method of ascertaining it was custard! :D

Hee! I can totally see him sticking his finger in it when he thought no one was looking, just to 'prove' to himself his suspicion was right.

Heh. No, somebody had to mollify the irate cook and Sergeant Benton wasn't around, so the Brig took on the custard-eating duties. Or possibly was commandeered by the Doctor, who knows? :-D

It's scary how instantly this one I didn't write lodged itself in my head!!
