#I'm 9000+ words into what I think will probably be an 18k-20k chaptered fic

the trouble with trying to rewrite this particular episode is that the episode, as aired, is just so bad that it's physically painful to rewatch
#I mean#that is why I'm rewriting it instead of just doing a post-ep or missing scene#like I've done for a lot of other parts of this series#and yes I'm back on my bullshit again#finally#2024 mood#process thoughts#my writing#The Forest For The Trees#For As Long As We Get#In The Forest of the Night#the science is so blindingly bad in that episode that I tend to focus on how much that part of it drives me bananas#but the internal logic of the episode is basically non-existent too#and the characterization is terrible and feels forced and weird#the dialogue is a mess and the pacing is awful and the tone is all over the place bouncing from horror to comedy#it's just so DUMB so frequently in 45 minutes#but extinction-level CMEs are a super cool topic for scifi!#a world-wide forest growing overnight is the sort of fairytale nonsense that Doctor Who should be made for!#the Doctor should be good with children! or at least bond with a particular special child#but no the episode manages to screw up all of it over and over and over again#at least in the rewrite I'm having a lot of fun with post-break-up Danny being wonderfully obnoxious#I will turn this episode into something I love even if I have to take the raw concepts back to the drawing board and start from scratch#I'm 9000+ words into what I think will probably be an 18k-20k chaptered fic#maybe I can actually manage to finish and post it this time#wish me luck
