So, the idea seems to be people are going to donate $$$ to charity fo every drabble written. I don't have much money to give, but I do have a lot of words, and I'm sure us DbyAers could come up with a few nice drabbles. community.livejournal.com/writercon100/profile |

What an interesting way to gather funds - I'm intrigued, though hanging back a bit because I'm *still* trying to finish my tardis_gen piece...arrrgh... Is there some kind of inoculation you get take to make you immune to the temptation of offering to write things for other people?

Quite, I've entered a fic-a-thon to finish my Forever Tomorrow story (before the continuity bunnies come to make it even more AU than it is already) but alas, no sooner had I entered the fray than about a bazillion other bunnies tackled me out of left field. *sighs*

and here's a tackle!bunny... I took a look over at DW100's prompt for the week: flumux. And the result:
On, off.
Off, on.
He’s being sneaky in the boot cupboard because he doesn’t want the Doctor or, worse, Zoe to know what he’s up to.
Off, on.
On, off.
They’d both try to explain how electricity works, the speed of light, the TARDIS power system – and they’d laugh while doing it too. Well, Zoe would; the Doctor would just smile a bit, wring his hands:
“Oh dear! Jamie, I thought I’d explained to you about the lights.”
“Aye Doctor, you did.”
…
They were both thick as wood sometimes for all their brains.
Off, on.
On, off.
Jamie grins.
I'm thinking of posting it to the writercon thing, if no one spots any crazy mistakes.

That's lovely; a very Jamie sort of thing to do, I think, and makes a very good point about how amazing even the little things must have been to him, let alone the space stations and aliens and things. Very nice indeed.

My only feedback type thought is in the change of tense - you have 'He’s being sneaky...' present tense then switch to past - 'Jamie grinned.' It might work better being either one or the other.
Best line - They were both thick as wood sometimes for all their brains. :-D
Very cute!

Corrected. Thanks Prim. I ~always` have at least one thing like that wrong in everything; and this is why friends and betas were invented.  |

And I didn't even notice it...which is why I don't volunteer as a beta if I can help it! ;D
