On writing the Master (yet again!)

[unfeathered]

I was complimenting _medley_ last night (here) on the way she gets the Master and the Doctor talking so realistically and so entertainingly, and the fact that I can't seem to get them talking for long.

And I had a think about that, and I did actually write a few conversations I was pretty proud of in the earlier parts of Master Plan. The problem is, now the Master has de-aged the Doctor, all he wants to do is flirt with him. And get in his pants.

I don't know how much of that is the Master and how much of it is just me! *g*

Or a little from column A, a little from column B....

Well, yeah *g*

LOL! I can see how that could happen! (Hey, is that icon new? I love his expression there.)

It's very distracting when I want them to be serious!

Anyway, I've given up on writing them for today. I'm doing that Master taking Jack's key ficlet instead, only it's Keyverse as I couldn't fit it into MP.

And yeah, new icon - cool eh? I decided the other day that I needed a Master icon that didn't have 'Master Plan' on it and went looking. Found this. Thought it was very hot. (Which is not something I get from Simm very much. Cool, yes. Scary, oh yes. Hot, not so much.)

Then I had to pop into the end of TSoD again this afternoon for the Key thing and realised where it came from. It's when he's giving the off-screen Toclofane the order to kill the American President. So it really should be coming off as scary, not hot, but taken in isolation, it's hot!

Yay! Any 'verse you like; as long as the key's involved, I'll be happy.

Oh, it sure is. I couldn't quite place it, but I could tell somebody's day was about to get lots worse. *eg*

There's something about his neck in that icon--what is it with Doctor Who guys and their necks? David Tennant, John Barrowman, of course, and John Simm's here. Very lickable necks.

Yep, definitely a neck thing. I swear I never had such a thing for necks before I started watching Doctor Who.

(In Buffy it was cheekbones.)

Oh, I think any character we write has at least a TINY bit of us in them. :-)

Like, if I were writing someone who's reading the story, she would be SO FREAKIN' IMPATIENT FOR ANOTHER CHAPTER...

I'm sorry. It's an extra-long Christmas-special chapter (currently 5,200 words) and still has a long way to go. Plus, you may have noticed, I do have a few other things going on for the next week or so! *g*

(Only just got back from a four-hour technical rehearsal - on a Friday night! Oh, that was fun.)

Will have short Key fic up tomorrow, though, when it comes back from Jades.

I didn't actually mean it to sound as bratty as I realize it did... You do what you're doing!

It didn't sound bratty. It's nice to know people are looking forward to reading my fics. Very nice. :-)
