Remember the thread about the OFWho? I finished the first chapter and I decided to show it to y'all first. I'd very much appreciate any feedback. If you would like to join, please contact me.
Thank you so much Antigone and Lily for beta'ing! It would not have been as long or as interesting without your feedback. And now...

I really liked how you woke up those fanbrats with the air horn. Oh, I liked the whole starting-with-Eleven-and-Clara thing too. I'm anticipating to see how Ashley would react to the Doctors from Classic Who!

I rather like the way you started off with Eleven and Clara, as well as the colour Blink. Stupid fanbrat, doesn't know the Classic Series...
I did spot a couple of things that were off, though. As Des said, there were some weird mechanics issues, and I personally thought you did a bit too much showing and not enough telling, especially during Ashley's sections.
Are you going to reference the Blackout? That would be fun, especially 'cause Jack knows about the PPC.

Thanks! I didn't think about the Blackout, I have some ideas now. I wrote some of this a bit late, so SPaG could be better. Thanks for the tile on Ashley, she felt a bit like a profile. Thanks again!
...well, just wait until I've got part 4 out of my interlude, which will hopefully be soonish. He's in that.

I'm still looking forward to that, and you just re-excited me.

I demand references. OBEY! OBEY!
Also, have you read the webcomic The 10 Doctors? It's so, so brilliant.

First of all, the chapter was a fun read. It certainly has a Whoish feel to it, as well as that OFU air.
However, it is not without problems. First of all, the mechanics are wonky. I've spotted numerous SPaG errors, there's something wrong with the indentation and there are sentences that simply cut off in the middle.
Second, it's a bit... formulaic for an OFU opening. That's not bad per se but it detracts from the fun in my opinion. At least the end is a good twist.
PS: As I've told you about two months ago, if you need Agents, Des and (probably) the Librarian are available for cameos/Sue execution/capture.
I did notice the strange spacing and indentation problems. I need to work on that.
Any tips to decrease the formulaic feel? I felt it too and I am not sure how to work on it.
I'm not sure, but maybe make it more Doctor-y and less OFU-y? It's OFwho, after all.
