Bovril! I was so insanely pleased by that. ♥

"She spent today descaling the kettle and ploughing further through the Mills & Boon shelf in the loft; her day couldn't physically have been any less strenuous" = YAY. YAY!

"Everyone fancies me," says Mitchell, shrugging. "It's easier to take that as a default, and then occasionally discover the people who don't." = DYING. I AM DYING OF LAUGHTER.

I just found more I want to quote back to you. Would you just like the whole story back?

Oh, Maddie. I always love your writing - to the point where I really wish you'd write more and would happily pester you about it frequently, but I'm far too polite. This is just so very charming and in keeping with the pilot - lovely characterisation of all three of them, with some touching insights. ♥ ♥ ♥

akljshd, thank you very much! ♥ Incidentally, please never feel impolite about pestering me: as I ended up explaining to other!Loz, I have to be contstantly pestered or I will not do it, which is why I almost only ever produce fic when it's for birthdays or challenges, since there's an actual deadline. Anyway, if someone's poking me to write, I take it as a massive compliment as opposed to impoliteness! :D

from anyone else, might be described as 'theatrically', but from George is faintly understated - LOLGEORGE.

Well, if you don't tell anybody until they're nearly bloody over, I'm not surprised - I love your George. Seriously. No, seriously.

Only if you want to. It might be quite funny if you leave it there while I'm trying to put the spoon in my mouth. I like this moment. Mitchell is almost unflappable, which is...good for George? Idk.

Mitchell is watching because he enjoys exercising his well-developed sense of irony. George is watching because he likes Richard and Judy. - STOP MAKING ME LOVE THEM MORE. I'LL EXPLODE.

Err, yes, sorry, I seem to have repeated the whole fic back at you. This was me being restrained. But this is good stuffs. I love your Annie. You've got her stream-of-consciousness way of talking right down, and her 'outside looking in' perspective on everything. &hearts this.

Hey, quoting back makes me happy inside, don't worry! :D And I'm really glad you liked Annie--I was worried about focussing on Mitchell and George and leaving her out, and I didn't want to because she's so awesome.

I am ridiculously happy about this fic! My flist are totally bringing the awesome in BH fic.

I wanted to pick up on all the bits I liked - but then, cliché-like, I'd be quoting practically the whole thing. Instead I'll say: you can't drink a pint of Bovril! and - weirdly enough in the fic I may or may not be working on I've also mentioned aubergines. Strange world, eh?

ETA: Oh, Oh! Richard and Judy - because, yes, George would totally like Richard and Judy. And that is also exactly what Richard would say about a modern take on Dracula.

MADDIE SORTED IT OUT
SORTED IT OUT DID MADDIE*

*Okay. That didn't work as well as I would have hoped. It all went a bit Yoda

COMMENTS THAT YOU DESERVE!

Man - if this is what happens when people pester you we might have to start doing it more often. ;)

(sometimes I think I need people to pester me - over my original work and my fanfic - what with my horrendous lack of discipline)
