So I mentioned yesterday in comments that the Ersatz Genremixer had given me a Jamie/Sam prompt that ate my brain.

Actually, strictly speaking, it was two adjacent prompts:

Sam / Jamie - highschool au & mirrors and doubles
Jamie / Sam - experiments by evil scientists & highschool au & electricity

And since it was so insistent on a highschool AU, what could I do but submit?

(Administrative note: I've added the 'promptme' tag to the original meme prompts post, so it can be easily found just in case anyone wants me to ramble on about anything else.)

thisbluespirit also asked me to explain This Time Round, and Storytime in particular. I'll try, at least.

It's a question probably as old as storytelling itself: Do characters have an existence outside the narrative that gave them birth? Where do they go, and what do they do? The question's been addressed many times over the years; Doctor Who itself had a go in The Mind Robber.

( Nineties fandom came up with their own answer: )

I don't imagine this will make a lot of sense if you haven't watched The Night of the Doctor, though I don't think it spoils any major elements thereof.
( Charley and Lucie reflect on a C-word )

Inspired by one particular aspect of The Bells of Saint John. Also by Bar Brawl by Alan Taylor.
