Wow- you researched?! I'm so lazy when it comes to that.
The Fleet I came across recently- via Doctor Who. Who says popular culture isn't a learning experience?
it'll be really daring and experimental- you have a wise brain. If in doubt, smart it up- always a good idea!
Seriously, you have managed to weave this deftly. It's a style you mastered well. Maybe a little of a happy moment in there, too, but you put in the effort, and it shows.
Enjoy the accolades- truthfully well deserved!
And I love your icon- so fresh and open.

I research because I am lazy! Seriously - it handily delays the hard work of actual writing... It gets addictive, actually, it's a bit dangerous!

Ooh, the Fleet was in the Talons of thingummy, that one, Tom Baker, yes? I haven't actually seen it, I found this out during the course of my research. Mind you, I'm sure I've learnt stuff from Doctor Who before now. I'm just not sure quite what.

And I love your icon- so fresh and open.

Thanks! I decided it was the the icon that most cheered me up, so I made it default. :)

You sound like a colleague- she does too much research, I do too much writing. Somewhere between us there's a reasonably functioning academic! :-)

The Fleet appears in the latest audio adventure for Doctor Number 8- it's the sewer conduit of an evil alien's masterplan to enslave the popualtion of London.
As y'do.

Stuff I've learned from sci fi/ fantasy in general- quite a bit. Especially the comedy fantasists.

And hooray for cheerful icons. It does open out the image to the eye- lovely.

Aha! Yes, it would be, heheh... The Talons of Weng Chiang is the other ref -- apparently, in it, the Doctor mentions that he once fished the Fleet and caught a salmon. So there you go.
