Round 7 Hour 5

It has been kind of a slow evening so far, but I know there are at least a couple of us around right now. How are you doing?

That attitude is why a good ficcish essay-type thing on the subject is so desperately needed. :P

(Doctor Who uses several different conflicting systems of time travel, often at the same time, usually described in passing with phrases like "fixed point" which themselves are used inconsistently. It's not time travel itself that doesn't make sense.)

Well, if you can explain "Turn Left" so that it makes sense, I'd be grateful -- and then if you can also explain "End of Time," I'd assume you must be a Time Lord in disguise!

I'll admit that I don't get RL time travel either, though. Einstein's time dilation thing confuses me.

The secret to time travel is, it's generally accepted, to just ignore Einstein completely because he tends to say things like "you can't do that" and "you can't do that, either".

I think. That's definitely the rule for inter-stellar space travel, anyway.

Turn Left and The End of Time were both large collections of plot holes strung together by bits of drama (Turn Left), melodrama (The End of Time), and cameo appearances by Billie Piper. But if there are specific parts you want me to fanwank an explanation for, I'd be happy to give it a try.

THAT'S IT!!!!!! Yes, it all makes sense now! (And LOL.) :D

Glad I could help!

But really, they're both much too complicated (EoT in a bad way) for me to just respond by explaining the entire thing. I don't know which parts confused you. Besides, like, "the ones written by RTD." And they're likely the same ones that confused me.

I love you for that. And I haven't even seen either episode yet.

I'm not succeeding in staying away from this comm when I'm supposed to be getting other stuff done. This is not a complaint, merely an observation.

Good, it makes up for all the time I spent reading your macros. :P

Also, thanks. *bows*

So since you're stuck here, are you going to write?

[lolmac]

Very likely. I've been trying to get the new chapter off the ground, and I think I might finally be gettinig past the Ponder Stage.

And mega applause for your writing! You go!

I have trouble not wanting to just lurk here as well, it's rather fun.
