Special Weapons

Now presenting the story I did for the Friends of Ace "Remembrance of the Daleks" watchalong that also acted as a fundraiser for the Terrence Higgins Trust (do donate to them if you can)! While I absolutely love how they presented my story (seen here), they also did kinda make it hard to distinguish the two narrative voices at certain points, so here's this special edition version of it which is just the document I sent them where I made an effort to keep the 2 perspectives separate.

This story had been one in the back of my brain for a while and I'm glad I finally got to use it for something, especially for a good cause as opposed to just leaving it to rot on my blog!

LINDA - High Score of Death!!!

 It is with a weird sense of pride that I present High Score of Death, my only contribution to the Doctor Who LOCKDOWN fanfiction section. A fanfiction where, throughout all of it, I get a character's name wrong, the MAIN CHARACTER of the episode he's from... but it's fine, he's from a different universe and it's totally authorial intent. While you can find the original version of the story on the website, I have chosen to put my own version on my blog solely because they moved where I put the title and it made the first paragraph read weirdly. Probably shouldn't have done something that goes against format, or put the title both above and below the first paragraph, but it's too late now.

The Shades

The Shades The Shades are humanoid figures, looking like some cartoonish version of the Grim Reaper you'd see on the side of a Tavern; or at least the ones I used to frequent. They travel in packs, shrouded by mist formed above the sea; I can only imagine they typically prey upon ships. I speculate that, before sea travel, they stuck to small, close-together islands to avoid being faced by a population large enough to eradicate them. Either the Hinoda or the Motua islands seem like a good fit, plenty packed together, allowing them to pick off a few people on one island and then move to another. This likely stopped when colonisers or traders moved into these areas, these ships dragging these packs further and further into the sea. It would be more frequent than the time it would take for an island to replenish it's people, so they stayed there. Given that neither of these food sources are frequent, I speculate that these creatures don't need to feed often, only doing so when...
