Update

[mtemplar_fic]

The missing scene from THANTH is DONE!!!! It's off to the ever helpful and shiny betas for sprucing up and for help in deciding the warnings to slap on as well as to decide how it should be posted/distributed, 'cause it is very, very wrong. Not as bad as it could have been, but still... it's just wrong.

I'm feeling terribly dirty right now. Maybe another shower would help.

Rated 'D' for 'Disturbing', I take it?

There are all sorts of extremely creeping and upsetting places it could have gone, so I'm sure if you're just at shower versus scrub-with-a-wire-brush level it's not that bad.

Don't think it can be *half* as bad as some of the fic I've seen...

I've read far more disturbing things. Not to disparage your skill in writing Very Wrong things, but yours are wrong in a good way.

I think putting it under a lock here would be sufficient -- anyone who liked THANTH can probably handle it.

What? I should be commenting, not noodling around on LJ? Right :).

I stopped myself from making an email flail to you about going down another path - I think I decided that while it might be fun, it wouldn't fit in with the rest and would be incredibly!wrong as opposed to just... wrong.

Could still go down that path, yes we could. *flails anew*

I find it quite disturbing - enough not to cross post. Feeling a bit better after the shower, though.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Bad as in...? Subject matter? Characterization? *flails some more*

[garpu.livejournal.com]

Sorry, bad = disturbing. Kind of busy at work. Dunno why, but I"m totally creeped out by het/slash involving the kids in the Sarah Jane adventures or Ten/Jenny fic. Realize there are those who like that sort of thing, so I'm not making a judgment against them. But some fics aren't always labeled well. :(

[platypus]

Tell meeeeee!

[principia-coh.livejournal.com]

Or random hideous torture for the sake of hideous torture fics. There's plenty of those to go around as well.

[garpu.livejournal.com]

Yeah...although I'm less disturbed by torture, if it's in a plot. I mean, it's not like it doesn't happen in Doctor Who (more in classic than new.) Heck, even Eight in one of the audios was making an offhanded comment about hating torturers with cold hands.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

What, and make it worse? Although, I'm getting the feedback that it's not that bad.

[platypus]

Well, the current version isn't that squicky, and it's nothing one couldn't have anticipated from the context. I'm not saying I want you to change it, but I would like to know where it might have gone :).

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

You are terrible! I'll email you.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

I'll do slash, but I'd stay well away from fics in the genres you mentioned myself. Those are the ones that should be well-labeled with the appropriate warnings to avoid the inadvertant squick.

Get back to work, you!

[garpu.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Nothing wrong with slash, especially if it involves Jack. Mmm, yes please. :)

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

*shuffles feet nervously for another fic*

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Oooh! We could trade! Drabble in exchange for a song?

[garpu.livejournal.com]

We could! Dang, I really need to get around to that meme I started...had 12 responses before I closed it.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

This reminds me of something I sent to you... I'm glad you're not disturbed by that in a sense.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

I figured it'd be popular. *grins*

[garpu.livejournal.com]

Naw, that totally wasn't disturbing.

[garpu.livejournal.com]

It's definitely fun to get prompts from people, because they'd suggest things I hadn't thought of.

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Ah, but I didn't tell you what Rose was up to! *grins shiftily*

[mtemplar-fic.livejournal.com]

Well, you can't think of everything on your own. ;)

[principia-coh.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I'm talking about some of the stuff on Teaspoon where that is the plot. That's it.

Example of a good fic which deals with the Doctor having been tortured: The Gift of Words by nogbad, because there's a point to it.
