					is there a doctor on the dig? by bat morda http://xenite.simplenet.com/fanfiction/d/doctor1.html SYNOPSIS: Mel Pappas in a tux... *swoons* Oh, sorry. You mean there was more to it than that? NANCY: *patient look* Now Ewok, that's not a nice thing to say about the first ever Mel/Janice story! EWOK: Oops. Distracted. Heh heh. Let's try that again, shall we...? NANCY: How about - Our two heroes have tracked down the Xena scrolls again, and have a merry adventure getting them back. (These long stories, good or bad, are always hard to summarise!) EWOK: I've got to say, it's a pet peeve in this story, and it's a pet peeve anywhere it occurs. Names derived painfully from the Gen-1 characters - like, Salvador Monious - make this Ewok flinch. If you manage something clever, such as Harry Mars as an uber-Ares in Surfacing, well and good to you. But this one ... ehhhh ... it doesn't quite cut it. NANCY: I gotta admit, I used to pretend the names didn't exist and skipped on to the rest of the story. Oh, and this is about the only dog I've ever liked in fanfic! Argo is so cute... excerpt: There, looking more than a little annoyed, was Dr. Janice Covington naked in a bathtub, smoking. EWOK: I knew Janice was hot, but ... oooh, baby... NANCY: *steam rises* Simply put. Elegant. I got a bigger kick out of that one line than all the sex stories put together :-) EWOK: Shall I fetch the fire extinguisher? NANCY: *backs off* Ewwww. Foam! EWOK: This paragraph is rather cheerfully ambiguous: excerpt: Settled in between the sheets, she was ready to drift off to sleep when Janice strolled in. Dressed in nothing but a man's long sleeved shirt, Mel was startled by the racing of her pulse. Mel's pulse being the well-dressed pulse it is, it probably looked likewise stunning in a tux ... NANCY: Yeah well, you know, tuxes are all the rage these days for the bodily functions. *peanut gallery throws paraphernalia into the pit* Hey watch it! NANCY: Make no mistake, I am a huge fan. No one does Janice like Bat Morda. 9/10. (Oh hang on, that wasn't *quite* what I meant. Don't get your hopes up there bat!) EWOK: 7.5/10. Go read Viv Darkbloom's "The Secret Histories" for some serious competition.
