It's a meme!
Nov. 29th, 2009 12:52 pmLast night, I was sitting here, feeling bored and wanting a meme, (yeah, sad, I know, sorry, I'm saner this morning) and probably a few minutes after I switched off my computer,
jjpor came up with one from someone. So, in the interests of silliness and and all that, I must pass it on:
Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return (and if inspired), I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.
Diisclaimer: Be kind. I am easily squicked out by even relatively harmless things.

“Well, I must say I’m disappointed,” said Jackie. “This is how you make a baby?”
The Doctor had his sonic screwdriver in his mouth. “Well, some babies.”
“My way’s more fun.”
He glanced upward. “Your way takes nine months and the Grand Hographium needs an heir right now or there’ll be chaos across an Empire that spans galaxies.”
“I don’t see that’s a problem for a man with a time machine.”
He said, “Look, I’m trying to fix this together -.”
“What is it?”
“Something so complex it’s completely beyond your understanding – and talking of things beyond people’s understandings, where’s Rose got to?”
“She’s out with Mickey.”
“Oh.”
She shifted about. “Yes, but a loom? That’s a bit silly, isn’t it? I mean, I’d have thought it would be easier to use a pair of knitting needles than a thing you make carpets with. Or are they the ones you use for tapestries?”
“Knit a baby? You think we could knit a baby?”
“It’s in the Bible or something, isn’t it? And I’ve knitted woolly dolls before. Well, I had a pattern and it didn’t look that bad, but I kept losing stitches. You can wave your magic wand -.”
“Sonic screwdriver!”
“Or some of that fairy dust -.”
“Fairy dust? Are you talking about the energy that powers the TARDIS and calling it fairy dust-?”
She said, “Well, you could – and make it come to life. Or just hand it over and he wouldn’t know the difference. This thingamabob. Or you could adopt an unwanted baby from somewhere and take it. Madonna’s always doing that.”
“Do I look like Madonna?” He gave up on the technical item. “No, don’t answer that. And I am not going round nicking completely human babies. It has to be a genetic match or it won’t be accepted.”
“Ooh, then what was that you took off me? You said I was vital. I knew you didn’t mean it.”
He ran his hands through his hair. “I needed some compatible female DNA and since you happen to be the only female currently available, I asked you.”
“Well, lucky me. Makes me go all funny just thinking about how you singled me out of all the no other women in the world.”
The Doctor sat down on the carpet and surveyed the mess he’d made so far. He cleared his throat. “You know, somehow, I don’t think this is going to work.”
“I told you,” she said. “Silly idea if you ask me.”

Now, shh, okay? :lol:

More than many of the other Doctors, he does seem to have distinct personae that he uses in different circumstances, and this is that brisk, comically appalled at his companions, sort of Ten (you know what I mean!) to the life...
