One more, this time, for akashasheiress. I hung on, trying to think so something not so completely shallow and silly, but, erm, well...

And to pedanther and jjpor: okay, I admit it, your prompts are tough work and I will get back to you on that as soon as I can. ;-) I only have unsatisfactory roughs, but I am on the train a fair bit this week, which should do the trick.


One Small Hitch

Yes, I am ashamed of myself. akashasheiress, I'm sorry.

“Liz.”

She looked up as the Doctor entered the lab.

“I suppose I can’t complain if you and the Brigadier carry on with this nonsense, but really, my dear -.”

She bristled. “Doctor, I’ve told you enough times – it’s none of your business, I don’t need to see a psychiatrist and, yes, we are both keeping our attention on the business of saving the Earth.”

“Hmm, yes, but I wish you’d remember to put his moustache back where you found it when you’ve finished. I hardly know where to look when the fellow summons me into his office these days…”

Also, I updated Winged Shadows with Part Three (Only the last part to go, yay. Not up on Teaspoon yet.)

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you. :-)

Heheh - nice one! :-D

I tried to think of something sensible, but once you've thought about moustaches... *rolls eyes* Thanks. :-)

Dear oh dear oh dear...

I know... *whistles*

On "Winged Shadows":

And don’t either of go getting arrested.

"you" before "go"

Peri gave a short yell as her fall was ended by someone handily catching her, and she opened them to find that she was in Angel’s arms.

Opened what? You haven't actually mentioned her eyes, let alone whether they were open or closed.

“Quick reflexes, too,” he explained, putting her down.

You don't need that "too" - she hasn't commented on the handiness of him catching her or anything like that.

cruse around in the car until they picked up some sign of Angel or the elusive demon.

"cruise"

Thanks, as ever. If you heard a noise just then, that was me banging my head a lot, because I told myself I had no brain yesterday and shouldn't actually post anything, but I didn't listen. ;-)

All fixed now though. (I should add that when I originally wrote that sentence, Peri did close her eyes; I just deleted that without paying attention to the consequences.)

You know you could just email me stuff for a quick check before you post - given how much I'm online you'd get it back fast unless you sent it late at night.

I figured as much!

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks!

You know if I'm after a beta, I will always ask you first. It's just generally I want to try and beat my muddle-headedness myself because it really annoys me (sometimes when I get tired I get all dyslexic and the connections in my brain just don't work - an ME hangover) - but I very much appreciate you finding the bits I didn't get. :-D

But, yes, thank you. I can see me taking you up on that for a couple of things in the not too distant future. You may regret it. Heh.

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

I very much doubt I'd regret it! Your mistakes are few and far between - beta-reading for you would be a lot less annoying/stressful than for certain other people who shall remain nameless!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, flattery will get you everywhere. :lol:

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Flattery nothing, it's the honest truth!!

[belantana.livejournal.com]

Heeeee, off-stage kissing! Whatever next?!

*hides from her own entirely failed prompt-responses*

[thisbluespirit]

*looks at two remaining prompts*

I have no idea.

And, yes, where's my Ruth and Tom drabble? *pouts*

:lol: (Don't worry!)

Coming, coming! It turns out that it is just as hard to write under my comfortable story length of 800 words as it is to write over it.

[thisbluespirit]

:-D

(Not that I would ever complain if I accidentally got 800 words of Tom & Ruth instead of 100. :lol:)
