I have read it & replied there but I wanted to reply here too & tell you it was awesome :D

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Aww, thanks! :)

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

Hee. I was going to put the same thing on my link text. Must now think of something else!

[shinyopals.livejournal.com]

XD Makes me think I got the easy job - I don't have to think up of link text! :P

However, spend too long worrying about it and I might have to rethink my graph of events! ;-)

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

*falls over*

[shinyopals.livejournal.com]

YOU KNOW IT'S ALL TRUE.

I made notes *nods* That's a completely 100% accurate reflection of events.

Also, it's been pointed out to me that the Doctor will adapt the sonic screwdriver to peel potatoes after that particular misadventure.

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

YES, BUT YOU MADE A GRAPH OF IT. A *GRAPH.*

Michelle hasn't even been gone that long yet! *pets*

HEE. Probably.

GRAPHS ARE AWESOME! :D

I would graph more things if I had the time.

Also, my life is devoid of meaning now I have no fic to frantically write/edit. I'm reading flipping fandomsecrets, which is what I do when I'm desperate! (Fortunately, sis and I are going to start our DW marathon at 10pm, so I won't be bored forever.)

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

I couldn't come with anything more creative for the link test. SO SUE ME. XD

You could watch DW and do all sorts of graphs! All of the Rose hugs versus the Donna and Martha hugs, for example! XD

*EYES*

Woo! What episodes are you watching?

OMG SO UNORIGINAL! XD

If I say I've considered it...

But my problem is, I overcomplicate. Like I wouldn't want to just do hugs. I've be doing hugs, hand holds, snogs, instances of the words "thanks" and trying to categorise them into reasons and who initiated which.

*EYES*

I KNOW. It's like... a pit of idiocy. But it's sort of compelling.

Woo! What episodes are you watching?

It might be quicker to list what we're not watching.

We're not watching s1, because we saw that back in September. We're starting with the first Children in Need and going through to Journey's End. I've even agreed to watch SitL/FotD. Although GiF is still up for debate.

And we have until about the 29th to do it, because that's when I'm off to stay with a friend!

THIS IS NORMAL.

OMG SO UNORIGINAL! XD

I CAN ONLY DEFEND MYSELF BY CLAIMING I THOUGHT OF IT FIRST. AND THEN MICHELLE USED IT FIRST.

But my problem is, I overcomplicate. Like I wouldn't want to just do hugs. I've be doing hugs, hand holds, snogs, instances of the words "thanks" and trying to categorise them into reasons and who initiated which.

Still not seeing the problem. *taps foot*

I hope you take snacks. And bathroom breaks.

THIS IS NORMAL.

The main problem is my brain gives up part way through! XD

I hope you take snacks. And bathroom breaks.

XD Bathroom breaks are permissible. Last year (yes, we did it last year, but s1-s3 instead of s2-s4) my sister also had a brief cry-about-Doomsday break. And I took breaks to read my new Doctor Who books (well, my sister was sleeping, I read instead).

See, we balance it out and make it reasonable! XD

(It's a Christmas tradition at this point.)

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Okay, go forth and write a complete plot for my fic sequel. It's the Doctor and Rose's first trip out in their new TARDIS. Aaaaand GO!

*Snorts*

You do realise if I had my way, it'd end up anything between 50k and 100k, right? XD

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

50k + a few paragraphs of fluff, don't forget!

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I was just off making pie! Pie that I just found out will be going to random people's house and will not be our Christmas pie. I sorta don't care that I ran out of one ingredient...

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

I hope it wasn't sugar. XD

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Sort of. But I added a different kind of sugar.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[shinyopals.livejournal.com]

MAKING GRAPHS IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE FIC WRITING PROCESS. *Nods*

I currently live with three dogs. Anything about wriggling bums immediately makes me think about sniffing bums.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Um...

[goldy-dollar.livejournal.com]

If you had dogs, you would understand.

Excellent story, the three of you write well together, and seamlessly, too. This is like trying to figure out which parts of 'Good Omens' are Pratchett, and which are Gaiman.

(Tell the truth now, you are the one responsible for the world domination scene and the bubble wrap discussion, aren't you?)

Thank you so much! :)

World domination, no. (I don't think. :D) But bubble wrap - you caught me. :D
