200 words: Ace and her bat.
Anonymous asked you:
Prompt: baseball.
The weight felt good in her hand. No matter how much she respected the Doctor and his way of doing things she always felt better armed. Stronger and more certain for something in hand that could do some serious damage, something more than just her.
She loved the Doctor, not like how Hex teased her (with shades of hurt and jealousy behind his eyes) but not like a parent ether. The Doctor was something else altogether and that she couldn’t put her finger on what it was they shared never bothered her or made it seem less important.
But the Doctor was the Doctor and Ace was Ace and no mater how much she admired him or how much, deep down, she wanted his approval she knew he wasn’t always right. He could get by on tricks, grins and whimsy but people, real people, sometimes they needed more. Sometimes they needed baseball bats because they only had one life to throw away on their principles.
But she would never tell him. And if it made her feel like she was lying some days, like she was holding back from someone she loved. Well then that made them just about even.
Big Finish has just announced a huge sale on their first 50 Doctor Who audios! Starting June 6, a group of audios going in release order will be available for £5 each for one day only (click through to see the release schedule). In addition, other items will be discounted during their annual June sale, and if you’re lucky enough to live near Barking, you can find more stuff at Big Finish Day on June 11. This is a really good opportunity to buy some audios if they’re normally out of your price range.
On a personal note, I realize pirating is an easy option but if you’ve ever heard a Big Finish audio, you know how much work goes into making them. I’ve had the opportunity to meet and talk with the head of BF as well as several of the writers, and they’re very frank about just how much revenue they lose through pirating. This is a small company and these aren’t rich men & women - if they didn’t love what they do, I doubt BF would still be in business. If it’s within your means to do so, please take advantage of the sale and toss some money their way.
My BF audio guide still isn’t done
because I’m lazybut if anyone is thinking about buying an audio (or a few) and would like some recs I’d be happy to help!I might as well wait until June 6 and get some, I don’t get paid that much and this is good news for me. :)
EEEEEEE~ I can finally get my hands on a cheap copy of Zagreus, along with Master, Davros and Omega on June 10th. <3 Might buy a few other Eight audios on CD, along with Spare Parts and Doctor Who and the Pirates. :D
Signal boost. Support what you love!
