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.)

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!

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.

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!

Aw, flattery will get you everywhere. :lol:

Flattery nothing, it's the honest truth!!
