The End of Tim

[lostspook]

Clocket's typo from this morning has now become a This Time Round fic, thanks to my silliness:

I called it TTR: The Topys of Domo

See here: groups.google.co.uk/group/alt.drwho.creative/browse_thread/thread/ac5bc3250eb68224?hl=en#

There are spoilers for The EofT. It is very, very silly, hastily written nonsense.

If you haven't encountered the Round before, it's where Doctor Who characters go when they're not on TV/books/audios/fan fiction. Things like this happen there all the time.

Yes, I thought that about The End of Time as well.

Tada-boom.

Thank you, folks, I'll be here all week.

[lostspook]

*bangs head*

JJ and I are forming a really bad comedy act. I'm sure three could only improve it...

[jjpor]

Well, let's just put on the show right here! ;D

"I say, I say, I say, why did the Dalek cross the road?"

"I don't know, why did the Dalek cross the road?"

"Because Barbara was heading towards it in a stolen truck!"

Ba-DOOM-tisshhhh!

Thank you, thank you; you've been a fantastic audience... I'm available for weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, after-dinner speaking and corporate events...

And I love the fic; I don't know about hastily-written but it made me LOL more than once! ;D

[lostspook]

*looks at above joke in stunned silence*

Okay, time for a rethink, I feel! If John's okay with it, he can be the funny one, you be the straight man and I'll just hit people with the brolly and script write where needed.

Clearly, unless it's one about all the Masters, or that time a human female, a time lord and a hologram walked into a bar, your fic is deceptive as concerns your comic abilities.



And, thanks! It was hastily written, I can tell you. About an hour and a half?? If I hadn't thought of the next typo being, inevitably, 'fire at Wilf!' it would probably have passed over as swiftly as it came. Glad I could make you laugh.

(If I could reread your Red Dwarf fic, I could even say the same to you... )

... or, failing that, try to stun you into renewed silence. So, the President of the High Council of Time Lords walks into a bar... (Spoilers for The End of Time, Part 2. And yes, the bartender is an Ogron with a crudely-made sock puppet of a cat on one hand.)

No, no, that was very amusing. Providing JJ hasn't gone off to conquer the universe again, I think we've probably got the line-up right now. ;D

[clocketpatch]

I don't mind being to blame for that. ;D ;D ;D

I loved this: "He drew back. “Can we *not* talk about the fanfic?” "

and "fire at Wilf"

and "Could take *years* before they fish you out again"

and the fact that Ainley and Delgado were trying as hard as possible to ignore their future self. I think I might have broke something laughing.


Also, Johne: LOL win

[jjpor]

;D Very nice there, johne.

Okay, so John's the funny one, Clocket can inspire the jokes and lostspook writes them down, and I...I'm the one who takes the custard pies to the face...

Yeah, I can live with that. One for the road, though:

"I say, I say, I say, why did Mehendri Solon invite the Doctor over for dinner?"

"I don't know, why did Mehendri Solon invite the Doctor over for dinner?"

"Because he thought it would help him get ahead!"

Ahead, geddit? A-HEAD??!!

*tumbleweeds drift past on the warm desert breeze*

It's a tough room, is all I can say...

[lostspook]

Firstly, yay, glad you liked it, Clocket! ;D (And, btw, Welcome to This Time Round!)

And: JJ, okay, that was marginally better than the first one, since it, y'know, had a punchline, but - and I say this despite the fact I nearly died laughing over the Ace-Ten-Donna fic - if there are any more, I shall whack you over the head with said brolly.

Are we clear on that point?

Mind you, I said straight man. I also threatened to hit you with an umbrella, I admit, although with comic timing, I promise, but I didn't say anything about custard pies.

*worries even more about lack of actual humour in comedy act*

[jjpor]

I can see potential problems with our planned career in comedy, it's true...

Hey, I am an experienced comedy sketch writer!*

Besides, John's telling the jokes. Do you not have confidence in him? *puts JJ in corner with brolly*

(* If experienced is allowed to include years of very daft sketches performed in churches up and down the country**. The Worship Group skits have now become legend, especially the X-Factor one...) ;D

(** one in Somerset, one in Wales, one in the IOW and Redcar.***)

(***Yeah, all right, I know. But they laughed. It was nice. )

[jjpor]

I guess I'm just bitter because no-one will use my material in the act - I can envisage some traumatic split a few years down the line, citing "creative differences", and then I'll embark on a solo career and end up disappearing into comedy obscurity...

And then, years later, some hip young comedian will cite me as an influence on their act and I will be redeemed! ;D

Waitwaitwait, I've got one; I've got one; stop me if you've heard this before...

"Knock knock!"

"Who's there?"

"Doctor!"

"Doctor wh-"

Ow, lostspook! That umbrella really hurts!

I have actually heard that one, while I was watching Vicar of Dibley. they are also mentioning doctor who.

I shall help, I shall. I have my own agenda, so I can't say I'll be too loyal.

Ace-Ten-Donna fic


WHERE?

[primsong]

Ha! Finally had a chance to read this - "Well Doctro..." this had moments of genius tucked away nicely among the nonsense, what fun. :-D

[lostspook]

Thanks, Prim!

(And Clocket - sorry, that was Ace Rimmer, Donna and Ten fic, you know the one!! But if you keep on long enough... oh, no, wait - 2010 is the year for original fic for JJ. You'll have to write one. I shall look forward to it. )

[merrythemad]

Finally got round to reading this and I am sooo sooo sooo glad I did, rather than rehash all the above compliments (and risk JJ's attempting another joke only to be smashed cruelly down by the long hand of the Lost) I shall simply say brilliant Fire at Wilf!

[jjpor]

No, I'm finished with comedy. Finished. All I ever wanted was to make people laugh, but it was not to be...

*weeps*
