Story: Passing Notes
Author: Adalia Zandra
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 1,158
Author's Summary: Were they passing notes like schoolboys now? Well, two could play at that game!
Characters/Pairings: Ten/The Master (Simm)
Warnings: None

Recced because: As an antidote to yesterday's Master story, I present this delightful bit of crack, in which the Master has survived the events of the Valiant and is living with the Doctor onboard the TARDIS. His many escape attempts have failed, and he's bored out of his mind, leading him to begin a note-writing campaign requesting some very personal attention. What makes this story wonderful isn't just the concept, which is plenty funny on its own, but the author's perfectly rendered illustrations of Gallifreyan messages left on Post-It notes, photographed in the appropriate locations.

I utterly agree that this is a brilliant story, and best read far away from any combination of liquid beverages and keyboards. Unfortunately, since Teaspoon changed its rules to prohibit graphics in uploaded stories (understandably, of course), all Adalia Zandra's beautifully-rendered Post-It notes have gone :(

I'd love to see her repost the story on LiveJournal, so that we can have the illustrations back.

The illustrations are showing up just fine for me on Teaspoon ...

Really? Last time I looked, they were all missing. Will look again...
