Sorry!

[ceebee_eebee]

I just want to apologize for any shattered glass or busted eardrums. That horrible, high-pitched screeching noise was just me reacting to THIS.

FUCK. I need this YESTERDAY. Oh, Lisa. How are you so fucking awesome. ::happy sigh::

Woot!

I'm sure word will get around amongthedeadmen and bigfinishlove in no time...

No doubt. I just can't deal with how desperately I've been wanting new Benny. Between this and her Eighth Doctor audio...

::swoon::

Ooh! That sounds good.

I have to say that Benny's really grown on me since I started listening to the audios - I can only ascribe that to Lisa Bowerman's characterisation, because I couldn't warm to book!Benny at all until I'd heard a few of the audios.

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

YES! Lisa is...I don't have words that can adequately express her level of awesomeness. It pleases me SO much that other people are realizing how bad ass the audios are. \o/

[jigglykat.livejournal.com]

So THAT'S what that was. I couldn't hear for a good half hour after that. =^^=

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

Yeah, babe. SORRY! But you can't really blame me, can you? ;-)

[jigglykat.livejournal.com]

Of course not! If it makes you happy, I will happily have my eardrums ripped apart by your squee.

I was really wary about the audios, because she came across as being pretty unlikeable in the Seven/Ace/Benny novels I'd read. But yeah, Lisa does a good job of making her more likeable. I haven't listened to all of the Benny Audios yet, but I've got through about a dozen, I think, including all of season 8.

I much prefer the audios over the books.

Without a doubt. I find the NAs very tough to get through. Poor writing, inconsistent characterization, BLECH. BF, on the other hand, is brilliant 9 times out of 10.

That's okay, I needed the wake-up call.

ALSO, TIME TO CATCH UP ON SEASON NINE! If Brax dies, I'm going to be so pissed off.

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

I have absolutely NO information on that one way or the other. Though, I tend to think of the very fact that no one's mentioned anything about it as a pretty good sign.

[ravenskyewalker.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. I've heard for years how dreadful the NAs were, and yet, they were a huge part of my 1990s "wilderness years" fandom. Yes, there were some terrible ones -- in fact, the very first one was bad, because John Peel had no interest in writing for the Seventh Doctor and Ace, and was writing other people, and yet, I saw what they were trying to do and it hooked me. When they were good, they were intense and drew me in, and seeing that I read some great fanfic back in the days of print fanzines, the occasional dismissal of the NAs as fanfic just makes me shrug.

I guess I should feel terribly guilty that I loved the NAs back in the day and liked book-Benny just fine. But I don't. hee hee

Lisa definitely brings Benny to audio life, though, and I agree that she's awesome, yay!

I guess I should feel terribly guilty that I loved the NAs back in the day and liked book-Benny just fine.

Of COURSE not! I love book Benny just because it's Benny. And I've really tried to find some good NAs. I keep trying, actually, because I love Benny with the Doctor SO MUCH. It's just...tough. But I kind of think you're lucky to enjoy them because that means so much more Benny for you.
