Tertiary character flail!

[lizbee]

(Actually, this goes well beyond tertiary -- we're looking at, maybe, eighteen degrees of separation between this character and relevance to the overall fictional universe -- but I don't know if there's a word to describe that.)

Anyway.  I'm reading Life During Wartime, the Bernice Summerfield anthology that covers the Fifth Axis occupation of the Braxiatel Collection.  SHUT UP, it has Brax being tortured inconvenienced.  The important thing is that one story namechecks Menlove Stokes, artist, con man and connoisseur of female Time Lord beauty.  He originally appeared in two of Gareth Roberts's Four/Romana (YES, THAT IS AN ACCURATE DESCRIPTION) Virgin novels.  Yes, I had squee.  Because I'm lame.

I've realised that I'm well on the way to becoming to Romana/Braxiatel what livii is to Ace/Hex.  I cannot bring myself to see this as a bad thing.

Right.  I'm going to finish washing the dishes now.  Honest.
