    1. Thanks! How should I get there as fast as possible from where I currently am? Only just about finished doing my rewrite of Episode 1 "Rose" of series 1. Three chapters for that and then Chapter four is a flashback which fits for what I'm going to do for Chapter 4 in this fic.

      1. How much do you intend to change from the episodes leading to option 1 because that would effect the amount of chapters for each episode if you intend to keep the episodes basically the same with minimal changes you could probably get way with each episode taking 1-3 chapters depending on the episode to make sure everything is covered for those newer to the fandom if you intend to make major changes could take 3-5 chapters depending on the episode the chapter count would also be effected by how much detail you want each episode to have plus you do need to take care not to cause yourself to get burnout on the story by forcing yourself to write to fast

        1. Teah, the biggest problem is that there's 10 .ore episodes and that would be at least 30 chapters and that's a lot especially since I'll have to watch the episodes or read the scripts for that time.

          1. My suggestion take your time it doesn’t matter how fast you write if the chapters don’t meet your standards rewrite the chapters as many times as you need to if you feel it’s needed your writing your story because you want to write and share it don’t let others dictate how fast or what you write you can choose to take suggestions but you are the one writing this story not the readers the readers have no actual say in what you write or how you write it what matters is that you enjoy what you’re writing

            1. Thanks! I've been like this for my last fee years of writing, hell for this fic I'm eben going to the r/DoctorWho subreddit to ask for help and see what people think of ideas, O know I should probably just try and write, but I'm worried about people not liking it. Even though no one really comments on AO3 fics anyway, and those that do often don't comment on mine. I like knowing what others think, I don't want hate, I want co structure criticism. I get nothing, except from nice people like you and TimeLadyHope over on the main fic.

              I do love Kudos, truly and am glad to je getting any, but I like being able to talk to my readers! I don't know what it feels like to not know what to say of course... There have been times that Ive6wanted to comnent on a fic I really liked but had nothing to say that hadn't already been said.

              1. I understand that I don’t often comment myself lately the only thing I’m usually commenting on is asking people to fix there fic rating to match the tags there using mature content is not for the G or T rating I’m starting to wonder if people are even paying attention to rating guidelines

                1. Yeah I personally just don't read anything with smut ij the tags, nor donI right shut... Hell the biggest mentioning of Sex will.ptpbably be when Jack appears amd 'Dancing' nothing big
                  No scenes for it even lightly

                  I don't like angst either but that doesn't really have to donwith rating. I know every story has to ha e a little conflict anf maybe even angst, I just really don't like wrotong it, reading is fine as long as it's not obsessive or even just tagged angst,not a story is tagged angst and there's bot hurt_comfort or fluff along withbit, I won't read it... Okay maybe if there's other Tage I like.

                  1. I don’t read smut either the only time I click and comment on those is if the rating is wrong cause I don’t want to risk or at least lower the risk of someone underage reading that stuff

                      1. Thank you there is far to many of those kind of fics it sucks that a lot of fics that could be an interesting read have that type of content but at least a lot of those authors put warning tags about it so I know not to read those fics and get attached to them and then have to stop reading it

                        1. Im5thinkong about the next chaotet of the main fic which is on the Doctor's perspective but it would also have the end of thebepisode 'Rose' in it l, which includes the Doctor talking to the Nestene Consciousness which doesn't quite have a voice so idle what it even is saying, like I can get tje gist from the Doctor's responses, but for most, if not all of tje cl versatile, we can't understand what it's saying to him. Like thenwordong it uses and such.

                            1. It's fine I just skipped that scene. Just mentioned what happened and skipped right onto the 'inviting Rose onto the TARIDS scene.

                              But [m still undecided when Rose should open her locket, should it be during Bpom Town or should their be a break chapter between Boom Town and Bad Wolf that is used (maknly for Rose to open it... Or should ir even be before Boom Town?

                              1. I’d say during or between boomtown and bad wolf would be the best option I think it would depend on how much detail and how big of reaction you want the reveal to have like if you want a lot of detail and big reaction you should probably go with the between episodes option

                                1. I want to have a reaction but I also want her to accidentally call tje Doctor "Thelar" without thinking, but if she does that there's thenprovpem of her having to make up a reason that isn't quite the truth, but perhaps not a full-on lie, but Lyther knows the truth, they found their waybibtotbue matrix. She made it to Gallifrey, but ny then it was the day the Doctor ran so she was able to get into the Matrix and find out what happened to their love. Sadly, theu onky really saw the backside ofnthe Doctor as he entered his TARDIS before stealing her own.

                                  Her and her TARDIS had a less close relationship compared to the Doctor and theirs, and the one Luther will later have with the Doctor's as well. That TARDIS even got pulled back for the war while Lyther was still Chameleon Arched as Rose.

                                  1. She could say the doctor reminded her of her best friend who went missing before or during the war since that wouldn’t be a lie and from what is known of Rassilon could easily happen if he was willing to do what he did to The Master then he would be perfectly willing to make someone disappear or making someone of high status angry if saying went missing before the war since very little good things are actually said about time lord society I believe

                                    1. Okay, also in this AU the master is a reincarnation of Lyther's sibling, it's kind of ironic how they refused to regenerate in their first life once everyone was gone (Thelar, Lyther, Donna), and in this life they refused to regenerate in their best friend's arms. If they did remember theie past life by then.

                                      Do you think it would make sense for them to remember in Saxon's last moments or while being Missy? Should Missy's whole redemption have to do with her remembering being Maz? Then part of the reason they went completely off their rocker again next regeneration was finding out about the Timeless Child?

                                      1. I think when he remembers would be effected by how many and how big the changes you want make are

                                        1. Well, Lyther is the first, and ad of yet only, person who can stop the Drums, although only wheb they're in physical contact, unless I change that. As for changes, qell he can feel her telepathic presance just as well as he can feel the Doctor's, not to big, that one. I can't think of any big world changes, maybe if Lyther was on The TARDIS when he regenerated into the Saxon fsce... Why she's there and not outside with the Doctor, Martha and Jack I dunno yet, maybe she just regenerated and needed to be in a healing clma for a little while.. Or should she be the one that tells him to open the watch? After all she doesn't know what the Time Lords made her sibling into, she just recognizes him telepathically.

                                          She knows about the drums because she was clncious for most of the time that she was in the locket (as well as Rose in heneral remembering that day when she was 10 and met the two strange boys) and remembered his reaction when they'd touched, when she'd telepathically reached out to him how the drums had stopped.. She still doesn't know what the drumbeat is, though.

                                          1. Her being the one to tell him to open the watch might work also would she only be called Lyther or identify as both Lyther and Rose since even if Lyther is older than Rose she did live an entire life time from baby to adult as rose and that’s different than spending a couple weeks as a human like the Doctor did The Master spent a lifetime as Yana and had complete memories of being Yana after opening the watch and regenerating who’s to say how that would have effected him if the drums weren’t driving him insane

                                            1. She'd probably go between being called Lyther and Rose, but seeing as Rose was only 18-2o vs Yana's 85+ when their respective biodata modules were opened and with the fact Lyther was more mentally sound then the master (especially post war) the merging of identities would happen differently. I'd think he'd start with keeping her around just to stop the drums, before he begins to remember. Although... If the Doctor hears her calling the Master 'Maz' that would confuse the hell out of him and he'd likely question her... I still want the SpyMaster to be the one to tell the Doctor about the Timeless child thing, though, so Saxon still has to not regenerate the first time, refusing to travel with the Doctor, and Missy's whole redemption arc happens, causing them as the SpyMaster to not believe they can ever truly be good, unless I change the next chapter of this fic, that is.

                                              I wanna make this fic completely canon to the events of the other one, so if the redemption thing happened earlier on I'd have to change some things in chapter 4 of this fic.

                                                1. I might just have to decanonize chapter 4 of this fic for the main one if I have SaxonMaster remember... Or completely change it. Although even Saxon is super far in the future for the fic, especially with needing around 3 chapters per episode.
