Fridge Logic or Fridge Brilliance?

Had the revelation earlier today (in the midst of post-thesis insanity; first draft is done!) that one of my favorite X-Files fanfics back in the day, and I'm talking nine, ten years ago here, was basically almost an early version of Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes. Which is either really freaky or really cool. And dammit, now I want to reread that story, and I can't remember where the hell I found it...

I had a run in with a police officer not long back, he was telling me a whole bunch of crap, luckily I knew my rights, and I knew that he was nothing more than a hot bag of really disgusting, offending air! I'm still waiting to hear what happened after I spoke to his commanding officer and had him reprimanded. Jerk Off. He'll know better than to mess with me next time. How they get away with some of that shit is beyond me, and how so many people buy it makes me furious. Knowing the law helped me out!
I wasn't implying that you write rubbish, because clearly you don't XD That as just my word, maybe I could have rephrased that a little better. But you make a very good point! Rough drafts are exactly that! A little rough around the edges. I still don't know why you worry, though! You're talent!
I'm ashamed to admit that I Lurved Simm in TEoT. I thought Tennant paled in comparison. Perhaps that's unfair of me, being a 10/Rose shipper, but the man was absolute fucking brilliance! And looks way better as a blond! Are you thinking about Tyler v Stabler? Oh God, cause I am ;)
I've not seen the Sarah Jane eps, so I can't be of much assistance there I'm afraid, but I do think that established characters work better! So I'm all for that! And Cool hand Luke, he's pretty clued up, I think he'd be onto them in a second. For some reason, the thought of SJ and the Doctor together makes me icky!
You should absolutely take that quote and run with it! I just like the fact that the Doctors mother was the one who gave him the strength to do what he needed to do. God knows that Rose did the same when she and Charlie came back to the Doctor. In a way, it's all about the strength of the Mother. Add Jackie in there somewhere and you know you're on a winner! Plus, in some sense, we know that she's a canon character now! That helps too, it wouldn't seem so outrageous.
Ah, Tiem!babies. How I adore thee. Oh, Oh, can I name one too? Please XD

Loving Simm does not at all take away from your 10/R shipperhood. ;) He was very brilliant. I may be biased, however - there was an inordinate amount of squee on my part when I learned that OMG Sam Tyler was going to be on Doctor Who back in S3. Tyler v. Stabler? Holy Crap. *SWOON*
I've seen most of the new SJ eps, so I think I can work with them fairly well. Most of them are available online too, so some rewatching will help as well. And I totally agree - Luke would be able to spot that there's something odd about Charlie right away, even though I don't know if he'd get the alien part, especially since they're all undercover, so to speak. And never fear about SJ and the Doctor together here - 1) you know full well where my shipping preferences lie. ;) And 2) I'm actually not a fan of writing romantic conflict or angst. I really prefer writing about stable couples going up against odds, so to speak, you know? So there will never be any reason here to doubt the relationship between D and R, but there's going to be stuff going down.
I'm definitely going to have to do some hard thinking about bringing the Doctor's mother into this story. First things first, have to figure out how she could have survived the Time War (it's possible, I just need something plausible, lol). There may be, just maybe, a way to get Jackie back into the story as well, but I'm going to have to let things simmer a while on that idea. Give me a little bit and I'll let you know what's going through my mind on that one.
LOL, in regards to the tiem!babies, I do need a male name. I have a girl name, but the girl's the younger one so I should get a boy name first...any thoughts? :)
Ooh, yay, storytime. Will read it sometime tomorrow. I need to get to bed at a reasonable hour tonight because (the law student in you will like this one) I got called for jury duty tomorrow and I have to be at the courthouse at 8 in the morning. Oh joy. ;)
