FYI - I got a notification for your comment above, but not this one. Weirdness.
For most of my fics I have my private backup entry/working copy, which I then put into a new, accessible entry when it's ready to be posted.
I'll start doing that - since I would assume most people have friended this journal to see the entries on their friends page.
Do you mean couple that with his 'artron loss' as a euphemism, or is the loss of artron energy literally having a deleterious effect on him?
It's not a euphemism - the Time Lords that the Sisters previously extracted would have had 'normal' to 'slightly above normal' artron levels. The Doctor's would have been off the scale from being in the vortex for hundreds of years - he's had a HUGE loss of artron and is going to notice it, yes.
I've seen that done to create a pair of matching standalones, but I can't imagine that wouldn't be onerous for longer fics. If there's some scene or scene you specifically wanted to write again through his POV, you could always post it as a ficlet or Chapter Xa.
Mmm-hmm. Yeah, I definitely wouldn't do it for the entire thing.
It didn't seem like the Sisters gave much of a rat's arse about how he was doing after the fact, other than Melina who was just using the situation as an excuse to molest him (and yes, that's a deliberate choice of words). Is it just that Melina would've used his continued agitated state to further her own agenda, or would the Sisters have genuinely needed to intervene to keep him from, say, hurting himself?
Lyra was the one to realize that he wasn't doing well (specialty=mind reading) and figured he'd do better with Rose - ie while some of the other TLs may have been mated/bonded, their SOs were not on Karn at the time of extraction. Rose was, and the Doctor even subconsciously darn well knew that and would not have willingly been extracted by Melina. Had Rose not been there, Melina would have been able to 'further her agenda', as you said.
I can't say I'm terribly surprised. The question is which of them's getting drugged, with what, and why, I guess.
It wouldn't shock me if Melina persuaded the other Sisters that they needed to hang onto the Doctor for a little while longer... although she may get the shock of her very long life if she subsequently finds that while Ohica agrees with the need for him to stay, she believes pairing him off with Rose is best, as it was so clearly effective the first time.
Ooooh - I really can't comment on that. I wouldn't want to spoil anyone!
