rec: Nine hours, give or take

[thisbluespirit]

Hi, I'm lost_spook (vvj5 on Teaspoon) and I'll be your reccer for this week. I'm in love with all eras of the show, so hopefully there'll be something for everyone. To start with, let's find somewhere really unobtrusive to hide for a bit, and pass the time with a funny fic...

Story: Nine Hours, Give Or Take
Author: Bad Dickens
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 2457
Author's Summary: Donna in the toilet, the Doctor in the broom cupboard. Exciting? Oh, yes.
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor, Donna Noble
Warnings: None.

Recced because: It’s short and fun, two things that are important on a Monday. I always love it when fan fic authors take some anomaly, throwaway line, or plot hole, and instead of complaints, explore it with inventiveness and humour. Clearly, it occurred to Bad Dickens that, during Partners in Crime, Donna and the Doctor spent about nine hours in their respective hiding places. Nine hours. Donna and Ten. Yes… The result is far more entertaining than a tale of a toilet and a broom cupboard has any right to be.

Hi, this is the author. I wanted to thank lost_spook for reccing the fic and for all of you generous people who have gone out and read it and left reviews. I'm very flattered and very glad you enjoyed it.

No, it was great - I really like lots of your fic - had no idea about your LJ identity! I was tempted to rec J'ai vu le loup, but I went for the funny one first (besides, I had another Seven rec lined up). Also love 1900, among others - Clocketpatch's rec for that sent me to your Teaspoon page originally. So hi, and thanks for the thanks. :-)

Thank you! It's sadly been a long time since I've written anything ... just too busy with other things ... I edit The Terrible Zodin fanzine so that takes up a lot of writing time (http://doctorwhottz.blogspot.com).

Thanks again. I'm rarely on LJ but several of your readers wrote me reviews on Teaspoon, which led me back here. It was a nice surprise. :-)
