First the Britpick:

Do you have such things as parental volunteers in the British School system? Parents that come in and work as teacher's assistants or helping with such things as school field trips?

As for the fic update:

Chapter four of Doubt is coming along quite nicely. It's current word count is 2093. I've just got to the part of it where School Reunion is actually starting. I may yet finish this in four parts instead of the five I thought I might have to expand it to. Gotta love Jackie. The first 2000 words are mostly hers. But what she says may entirely surprise you. Not sure when it'll be finished. I need to take 45 minutes and watch SR one more time. Or at least the dialog heavy SJ/Rose and Ten/Rose and Mickey/Ten bits. Fortunately there is no Nutcracker rehearsal tomorrow because of the holiday weekend. I didn't think I could ever loathe that music in my life, but...yeah...getting there.

Zeppelins is coming along slowly. I think I'll take a small break after I finish Doubt and focus on Zeppelins and You're What? for about a week before getting back to the next Moments in Darkness fic. And not write one single ounce of angst. Just fluffy bunnies and happy/happy.

I had one horrible, horrible angsty plot bunny for Doomsday, but I don't know if I can bring myself to do it. I'm not sure I can bring myself to do Doomsday at all for MiD.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] azriona, I had this idea for a crack!fic that I don't even think I could begin to do justice to, but you on the other hand so could. I'm not above begging. I could trade it for a smut!fic of Nine/Rose, Ten/Rose, or Ten2/Rose.

Well, I finished Doubt but this last part is almost 6000 words and LJ will have fits if I try to post it in one go so I think I'm going to have to break it up into either two chapters or three.  I've sent it off to Amy but she won't likely get to it until tonight and we'll decide where to do the chapter breaks.

I've also, on my angst breaks, been working a bit on a rewrite of Just Another Shop Girl.  I'm adding anywhere from 500 to 1000 words per chapter.  JASG was the first time I wrote Nine and Jack and I wasn't very good at them then.  Even Rose was a little less well-rounded then I generally write her now.  And the main OC I was never very happy with but I like her quite a bit better now.  I also didn't tend to flesh out my stories like I do now either.  I've learned a lot in the last 14 and a half months of writing Doctor Who and I've always wanted to fix the things I didn't like about this story.  I'll start posting it now I've got several chapters rewritten and beta'd.  If you have read it before, it's going to have the same story line, just better character development and a bit more flirt/tease/snark.

amberfocus: (Nine Rose Together Invincible)
A/N:  This is a rewrite of my first Nine/Rose story and Jack is in it, too.  It takes place right after Boom Town.  There is no smut because it was meant to occur in canon and I didn't know I could write smut back then, but there is a lot of flirting and teasing and hints of romance.  Events in this story are referred to in my Time Eternal Series and in Jack's Path (but you need no knowledge of those stories) and it is where we first meet the Tirawls.  Even if you have read the story before, I am adding about 500 to 1000 words per chapter to flesh it out and change things I didn't feel were quite right from before I really learned how to write Nine.  Sorry, no banners for this one.  I don't even have any pictures of Rose, Jack and Nine together and certainly no Tirawls or Tessa (who sorta looks like Anna Pacquin from True Blood).

Chapter One: Never Boring

 

“I honestly don’t know, Rose,” the Doctor sighed. “All these shops look the same to me.”

 

“I thought that was my line.” Rose Tyler shook her head in frustration and not a little irritation. “Least it’s not corridors or tunnels,” she muttered. “Are you sure you left it in Canonbury?” she asked hands on her hips and a challenging look in her eyes.

amberfocus: (Moments in Darkness)

A/N:  Okay, this has morphed into six parts from four.  Sorry.  Otherwise this chapter would be nearly 6000 words long and that's just too many.  But it is finished and I'll post a chapter a day until it's all up.

                                                                Chapter Four: Reflection

Rose turns back to the sprawled form of the Doctor and he looks up at her with his Oncoming Puppy Dog Eyes and Rose sighs and offers him her hand. He grabs it and he’s up on his feet in a heartbeat and Rose just shakes her head at his wounded expression before she pulls her hand away. He follows her into the kitchen. “What do you mean you didn’t think of that? You wouldn’t have hit me, Rose, would you?” He’s got that little boy note in his voice that is sometimes endearing and sometimes irritating. Right now she’s not sure which.

She shakes her head. “No. Meant I didn’t think to warn you that Mum might. She’s rather upset with you. I—I called her when I was, when I thought you wanted…” She swallows hard and so does he. “Now go and sit down in the other room. I’ll just be a moment.”

A little less angst, a lot more conversation... )
