Yeah, I put it up for public consumption. Why not. Makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something.

A bit of explanation: I originally thought that Chapter 3 of The Memory Always Lies, like Chapter 2, would be bracketed by dream sequences from the perspective of Corporal John Smith. I'm not sure if I'm still going to use that device, but even if I do use it I ended up writing a couple of scenes that just don't fit what I had in mind for said dream sequences. Most don't stand on their own, but this one does, and, as I rather like it, I thought I'd put it up here for your potential reading pleasure.


Title: Sentencing
Characters: Corporal John Smith, OC
Words: ~1200
Rating/Warnings: PG
Warnings (highlight to read): Mild violent imagery, character death.
Notes: Spoilery: This story uses the fanon theory, first made known to me by an anonymous someone on the meme, that the memory blocks imposed on the Doctor during his exile made him unable to hear or communicate with the TARDIS. I'm not sure how clear that is within the scene itself, plus I wanted to give credit where credit was due, so I thought I'd mention it here.

OH , FINALLY. I THOUGHT IT'D NEVER HAPPEN. Ahem.

Anyway, hopefully the next update will not be so very long in coming. As always, comments, criticisms, suggestions, and general thoughts are greatly appreciated.

And now I really must get to sleep.

Having only 15 icon spaces is a bit of a pain. 

Anyway, after much revision, handwringing, and last-minute changes in direction, I give you Chapter 1 of Memory. Comments, criticisms, and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Also, there's an A/N at the end, just so you know.

[ETA] Is it bad that I'm having a massive geekout over being linked to in who_daily? Because I so am. Even though I've got no reason to. I mean, dude. I'm in a newsletter!
