I'm glad. I really am more of a dialogue kinda person. Especially when I write Ten. The guy just wants to talk talk talk.

I wanted it to be fun. With the beginning bit...and then it wound down and the end was sorta...wistful melancholy?

I definitely thought of the movie Alexander when I got the prompt. My history prof. had some clips for us to watch and he was the inspiration for the critique on that movie. Heh. I was pretty much drooling and itching to rewatch Troy as I wrote out the cast members. [whimpers] Eric Bana.

Rose's outfit was my excuse for taking so long to write this out! My history classes are all military and politics and I got very little about actual clothing styles. So I had to research.
I'm glad you like her outfit, I was trying to make her pretty and then she reached Aphrodite level and I knew the Doctor wouldn't share her like that!

Heh. I love sordid history! And with all the classes/lectures I've attended, and sources I have thrown about I was determined to make it as juicy as possible.

Yours was the first ABC entry I read too!
Hah! I popped your ABC cherry! [grins]

I also avoided them until I'd done mine!
I was going crazy when I saw all these great writers posting knowing that I couldn't read them! I definitely didn't want to subconsciously poach any ideas.

Thanks for commenting [and I'll be over to yours in a bit because it's bad form to comment on yours here].
