    Im in ur Tardis, violating ur canon.
    As a Doctor Who fan my entire life, and someone who has recently discovered the joys of The Big Bang Theory, I thought I'd give this a look. I have to say I'm not a fan of 'ship fiction in general, and the present tense prose was a little off putting at first. However I persevered and I'm glad I did. It's well written, with accurate dialogue: I could 'hear' the actors saying the lines throughout.

    Overall, enjoyable and rather sweet. :)

    Thanks!

    I went with present tense subjective POV to help the reader 'experience' the narrative as it happens. It's a technique used to draw the reader into that action, especially with the action flipping back and forth in time and perspective.

    Thanks again for the feedback! :techman:

    Yeah, watching BBT ive never seen a Sheldon/Penny vibe, but im massively enjoying the story so far!

    {edit} Finished it... I love the thing! I could totally read the entire thing in their voices. And I did.
