Unfeathered Notes

I'm supposed to be going through my Intoabar Garcia/Tosh fic, because it needs to be done by the 21st (and it's mostly there, just needs tidying up and filling out a bit). Or if not that, then looking at some of my Jack/Giles fics to get one ready for Summer of Giles on 5 July.

So what am I writing instead? Master/Jack body fluids kink (blood, sweat, tears) for my Season of Kink bingo card, due at the end of September...

Ah well.

On the other hand, hello there, Master, I'd missed you! :-D

This is what came about last Friday at work while I was mulling over different scenarios for what the various characters had been upto behind the scenes of Master Plan (i.e. outside the Master's knowledge). It's not part of Master Plan, though.

Lesser Threat

Okay, it's a long time since I've watched Last of the Time Lords (will try and have a look tonight) but I just got thinking: when they reversed the paradox, everything on the earth got reversed but the Valiant didn't, right? So what happened to those people who were on the Valiant right before the paradox kicked in - all the film crews and world leaders or whoever they were? I know the President got zapped and so there wasn't a body (right?), but there were other people present at that point who didn't suddenly appear on the bridge of the Valiant when time was reversed.

So where did they go?

And no, I'm not expecting an actual canon explanation for this, because they don't think things through that thoroughly, but can anyone suggest something that makes sense? At the moment, all I can imagine is them somehow popping up at their homes or something, going "Whu....?"

So, I wrote another 150 or so words of Master Plan at work today, and finally - finally - sorted out the couple of things I had left to work out. Most notably, I've finally worked out my take on the 'refusing to regenerate and getting Lucy to shoot him as his back-up plan' thing. This is something I have been trying to work out ever since I started RPing the Master (because I'm pretty sure it hadn't come up till then), which was the middle of December last year. So, eleven months, then. At least I've finally made it!

And so I have made some notes of things I want to include in this chapter so I now have a very, very loose plan for the shape of it. And I think there'll only need to be one more after that. I'm still working out exactly how I want it to end, because I'd always planned to work back to canon (i.e. Last of the Time Lords) but I need to decide how much of the stuff in that episode I'm going to recount. Don't want it to be a boring final chapter!

Anyway, I really feel that I'm getting there now. It's... a hell of a relief!

Does anyone else feel really silly and innuendo-ey every time they mention the Master (or the Doctor) getting out their screwdriver, or holding their screwdriver, or, really, doing anything with their screwdriver?

No? Just me then, eh. *g*
