Writing thought

[unfeathered]

This has just occurred to me, and it's actually rather obvious, but I just hadn't thought about it before.

I write long stuff. It's how I write. I write more words than I need to, and I have a habit of waffling.

I also find it easy to write the Tenth Doctor and the Master, and a lot harder to write Nine (and not just because I haven't seen so much of his season).

This is obviously not some kind of coincidence.

On the other hand, to pick the person whose writing I know best as an example, Becky (becky_writing / fandom_me) writes much more succinctly than I do and tends towards shorter fics.

She finds it easy to write the Ninth Doctor, and harder to write Ten and the Master.

Again, obviously not a coincidence.

I feel daft that I didn't work this out before! *g*

(We both find Jack easy, which must say something for his character - perhaps that he's not only omnisexual but omni-writery too!)

Hi! Welcome - pull up a chair! :-)

Yes, lots of Jacks to choose from. And I'd bet we all write him just a little bit different too. I expect, for instance, that if you looked you'd find my Jack talks a lot more than Becky's does... *g*

Talking can be good too *slow grin*

*gulps*
I have amassed a little collection of classic Who Pertwee, Ainley, Brigadier, trimphone (*squee*), old bakelite phone, field telephone screencaps waiting patiently for the morning I clean them up and wheel them out.

There really does need to be a Jack one ;-)

Oh, that's riiighht...Somebody promised old school phone icons a while back, didn't they? I'd forgotten.

There does! I don't think I've ever seen one. :-(

Someone has a Jack!icon which says:

because he can have phonesex with your voicemail

Alas, I can't remember who.

Oh, yeah, I have seen that one.

Have to admit, though, I don't really get it.
