Yes, Minister word count: 21,894... and I still haven't finished it. That wasn't supposed to happen! But here's the first bit, untitled and G-rated (for now):

bureaucracy porn! well, not yet, but on the way to it ;D

i'm re-reading the book right now [started after you mentioned you had plans for a story in this fandom...wait, is it even a fandom, actually?], and yep, the voice is peculiarly recognizable. will await Part 2 with curiosity :)

p.s. maybe it's just me being lame humour-wise but i giggled at the whole 'computers - security - Hacker' chain of associations. ha, you bet!

Thank you very much! I don't know what makes a fandom but there is definitely not enough Yes Minister fic, a fact which I am attempting to remedy :)

Hehe, "Hacker". I don't think he'd be much of a threat, though!

Oh, fantastic. I think you've got the characters' voices down really well, and it's starting to read like an actual episode.

“I’m not sure what you mean, minister, but then I’ve never heard the sky fall.”

May I hope that, by the end of this fic, Bernard will have heard exactly that, in one way or another? Loved this, looking forward to more!

Thank you!!! I'm so pleased you think they 'sound' right, that's the most important thing. It won't read like an actual episode for much longer, though ;)

This was great. Mind if I friend you?

[nautacarus]

Thank you! And go ahead! I really must stop doing Actual Work and write some more of this ;)
