LOL! Gene is fantastic in this! You've got his character and his dynamic with Sam down really well here.

“Ain’t yeh boyfriend come to pay you a visit then, Gladys, take you out for a romantic stroll along the canal?” What is it with people shipping Sam and the Doctor together? Hehe, I know, I know, The Master...:) This line is also a brilliant example of fantastic Gene characterization. :D

The body is clearly quite creepy. I really like the line about Sam feeling like the red eyes were following him.

This is awesome, by the way. Your writing is wonderful.

More soon, please!

*Leaps around in joy* Thank you!

I wasn't sure about Gene as I find writing him difficult sometimes. Also, my mind has been affected by slash so I worry that I sub-consciously write that into their dialogue.

I'm glad you thought it was creepy. That's another thing I worried about; whether it was explicitly creepy or if I'd just described it rather poorly. Oh, so much worry!

Hehe, don't fear! I'm not really shipping them... Well, only in my head... :)

*smiles*

I have trouble writing Gene too, but you've captured him much better here than I've ever managed to. And to be honest, I think sub-concious slashy dialogue is written in the show anyway. It might just be that I'm a shipper so it sounds that way, but I say there is enough UST in the show for these two that any more and they might just implode...(Take S1E8 as a prime example, while Sam is pointing the gun at Gene: "You don't want me to leave, Gene, but I have to leave." To me that just cries SLASH! from the rooftops. :))

It was creepy. With Sam's thoughts about the painting as well; I have a slight phobia about seeing portraits and statues in art galleries because I swear they're looking at me... but hell, I'm paranoid...;D

Oh, and meant to say - enjoy your holiday! :D

LOL! Well, now you've put it that way... Aw, I love that bit! *cough* Anyways...

I'm exactly the same. I have similiar feelings about pictures and photos which is why I don't have any on my wall because I hate the idea of them watching me... I've got the shovers now! We shall be paranoid together. :)

And thank you muchly! ^-^

Excellent! Love the banter between Sam and Gene. I want it all done to my impossibly neat and poncey standards and I want it now! Blah blah blah, etcetera. Heehee.

And the body - ewwww. What's going on there then?

Again, great dialogue, excellent characterization :) And a strange and disturbing mystery, all good things methinks :)

Fabulous! You've really nailed all the characters, and the plot is totally intriguing. And you've woven the two shows together very skilfully.

More, please.

Thank you!!! I'm really pleased it's worked for you. :)

Oh, you'll definitely get more but I'm sorry I can't promise it'll be soon. I'll try though.
