Recced because: The idea of Turlough keeping a diary is one of the greatest things ever. And that's exactly what he does here. It's at the Doctor's urging, of course, since Turlough has initial reservations about setting his thoughts down on paper. Once he gets started, though, he finds a favorite topic: his attraction to the Master, which even Turlough himself thinks is disturbing, considering that the Master is evil. The solution? Turlough decides to seek out an earlier, presumably less insane, regeneration of the Master! This story is one of the funniest things I've read in ages and the characterization of Turlough is excellent.


Dear Diary,

I have a problem. I think I fancy the Master. I am having inappropriate thoughts about the Master. I have elaborate sexual fantasies involving the Master that are so vivid that just thinking about black velvet arouses me. In fact, I’m turned on right now because I wrote down…black…velvet…on the page in heavy black ink.

This is a problem…because he’s, well, evil. And really, I’m not all that enamored with evil. Which is good, I think. If I did find evil attractive, what would I do if we three time travelers should run into Hitler or Ivan the Terrible? It’d be terribly awkward to say the least. Really it’s the power, even self-perceived, that draws me in like a moth to flame. The Master simply oozes power and control. Plus he makes the Doctor all flustered, which I’ve discovered, is rather entertaining.

I was surprised that this terrific story had only two reviews when I spotted it. It's good to see it getting new readers now. :)
