Rec: The Boys Upstairs, by Al B Dickerson
Feb. 2nd, 2012 11:42 amHello all, sorry about the late start to this weeks recs - all my fault. My tastes are quite eclectic and I'm a fan of both old Who and new (as well as some side jaunts into Big Finish) so expect a bit of everything over the nest few days! My first rec is from an author that's new to me:
Story: The Boys Upstairs
Author: Al B Dickerson
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 21,296
Author's Summary: In 1978, Ace and the Doctor fought a monstrous evil in Mount Shasta City. In 2013, Dorothy McShane returned to find the battle still raging. Only this time, she's on her own.
Characters/Pairings: Ace, Seven, OCs
Warnings: None
Recced because: Timey wimey and madcap characters, this writer seems to blend the two into something resembling a Tom Robbins novel (Crazy, funny and sad, all at the same time.) This story is at a length of 21,000+ words, so its the perfect accompaniment to an idle afternoon.

If you liked this, I have 4 more. They're all shorter, thank goodness!
Cheer, and thanks again!
