Yay, you posted it!

I love the opening paragraph; The pubs had all closed and the rows of houses all stood seemingly empty: the windows darkened, curtains drawn, It really sets the scene and helps to build the action up gradually.

And who is this mysterious man? At first I thought it was Sam, then I changed my mind to the Doctor, then the last line of the first bit told me it had to be neither.

I like how you've split it into three parts, as well. Helps to follow the different areas of the story as they gradually come together.

The Test Card Girl was very well done. I have a tendency to throw her in for a paragraph or so before I get rid of her, instead of drawing out Sam's panic into something much more believeable, which you have done.

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” Heehee! We certainly seem to be on the same wavelength, don't we? :D I can't wait to see what you've got planned for this!

[tatlovestea]

I did indeed!

The opening paragraph was added last actually... I thougt it needed something extra so I'm glad it worked!

Thew mysterious man? It's a complete mystery! ;)

Thank you so much! You've made me grin! I enjoy writing the test-card girl but I've never included her in my fics before so I thought I'd start.

We really are on the same wavelength! I was stunned when I read yours! (Don't worry, mine is going in a different direction! Well, I hope it is. Who knows- we may cross the same wavelength again!) I have big plans! *shifty eyes* Just need to work it all out... heh...

Yay, more DW/LOM fic :D

Great start. I first thought the mysterious man was Sam, then the Doctor and now I think it's.......

Anyway, the Doctor was delightful in the TARDIS :D

[tatlovestea]

Thank you!!!!!

:D I was worried the community would suffer from having too much of a good thing. The 'good thing' being the Doctor, of course. :)

The Doctor is always delightful! Except when he's blowing up planets.

Very interesting beginning. I've tried reading Doctor Who/Life on Mars crossovers before, but this is the first one where I've actually stuck with it to the end of the first part! (Hint: this means I enjoyed it!)

Looking forward to more.

Wow! I feel very priviledged, thank you! *grins like a madwoman*

I hope I don't disappoint then. :)

Okay so you had me hooked from, "It was an ostensibly ordinary night in Manchester...", fantastic opening line! And I love the title too. V interested to see where this goes.

[tatlovestea]

Thank you so much! I'm very happy you liked it. Especially the title cos I'm normally rubbish at titles. ><

Tbh, I'm interested to know where it's going too. I've got 2/3 of the way through and now have writer's block... Oh, well, it'll be fiiiiine, I'm sure. *waves hand dismissively* :D

[liquorishflame]

Love the title btw :) Good first chapter, and the TCG! Gotta love her, so creepy :)
And what is she referring to? I'm dying to find out :)

[liquorishflame]

Yay, danke! Gotta love the creepy. :)

You'll find out... *wiggles fingers mysteriously*

[tatlovestea]

In fcat, so mysterious you didn't even know it was me replying.
