The TARDIS Tells a Joke: An Original Story Update
This is an update to Chapter 1 of short-ish original Doctor Who story I'm writing. Or trying to, at least. I'd love some opinions on whether or not I'm capturing the energy of the show in a kind of novel-form. The general pace of everything will come down a bit in coming chapters.
I have it up as a Speechify above which will narrate it, or a PDF: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DO6ZoDWImaaAiaj8P1TUeukzXm6GbP5-/view?usp=drive_link

"An original story" but I've heard it before
(That's a TARDIS joke)
I don't understand. You're saying you've heard the story I spent the past week writing, before?
Yes, a few weeks ago. Well, it was the same week as now, but then. Nvm
...what? Are you accusing me of plagiarism, or making a time travel joke?
Joke, hence the parenthetical saying joke
Ah, apologies, I wasn't sure if you meant the comment, or my writing, or what. It's a little nerve wracking putting work out there for criticism.
Anyway, if the reading part is true, or becomes true, I'd appreciate any comments :)
D'aw
Putting you're off out there can be rough. Just remember not to take criticism from anyone you wouldn't want advice from. The internet can be a cruel place full of anonymous assholes.
And as my cool highschool English teacher once said, and he's never wrong: "if you want it to be good: write for yourself, not anyone else."
