Jack?  Please shut up.  You're supposed to be in a tale of intrigue and aliens, not having tea with a giggling four year old.  Remember the mystery?  The reason this whole stupid story is being written in the first place?  Do you think you can address that part sometime this century?

Plot=hard.  Tea and crumpets=fun.  *sigh*

that doesn't sound crazy, it makes sense. And

You can always cut that part out later if it's not working.

that's just excellent advice, especially since this is for [livejournal.com profile] tardis_bigbang so the story will need to be a scary 20,000 words!!! I might need a fair bit of filler for it

Oh, that looks like fun! I'd love to have art or video done for one of my fics. Of course, I have to agree that 20,000 words is a hella lot for one story.

If it helps, think of 'real' novels - there's always dead ends and bits of fun to help ease the drama or taunt the reader a bit. So, let Jack have his tea (especially since it sounds sooo adorable!) and things will work out alright in the end.

20,000 words=SCARY!!! But, I've actually started writing it again so there's actually a hope in heck it'll get done. *phew*
