Any chance of you putting things together in chronological order (or at least story order) one you've finished it?
Oh, definately. I plan to, or my head's going to explode. This is definately not my usual style of writing, but it's being fun.
I love your Master. "I can't be associated with a rag-tag little band of misfits. People might start mistaking me for the Doctor." Oooh. Nasty.
He is, isn't he? *grins* I'm glad you love him, and he's preening and smirking at the moment, the smug bastard.
I swear my Mickey-muse is taking lessons in nasty from Mr. I'm an Evil Genius (aka The Master, aka Smug Bastard).
I don't like all the apostrophes in Mickey's dialogue to indicate his accent. I know you haven't done it very much, but we all know what he sounds like and the apostrophes just slow down the reading.
Mm. Then I shall go back and edit out the apostrophes.
Also this remark of Jack's reads oddly to me: Those both are well out of fashion and general use by the middle of the twentieth." I don't know if it's an Americanism, but I would certainly say "Those are both" not "Those both are".
It is an Americanism, a colloquialism that I grew up with in summers in the Carolinas, and have heard when heading into Ohio for events. Not as much something from the suburbs as the cities and rural areas. But something I can hear Jack saying, with the accent he has in canon. Not always using, but particularly when he's intent on annoying the Master (consciously or not).
You certainly have me intrigued by this fic, though. Looking forward to more! :-)
*beams* I'm glad for that.
Mmm. Must remember to post the link to where I'm posting it on Teaspoon in the info post for the AU. That link would be the best to use if you care to rec it, or any associated stories. (I'm not planning on pimping it out anywhere until I can have both this version and a chronological version posted on Teaspoon, so you're aware.)
