... actually, maybe the makers of Pros and Cons did realise how slashy the hairdresser Hannibal thing was - when BA is unexpectedly hauled off to a fight to the death, one of the guards taunts Hannibal, "What's the matter - did you lose your little playmate?"
I must report an unexpectedly sexy moment in A Nice Place to Visit where the bullies' little friend demands "What do you want?" and Murdock responds "I want this!" and takes away his crowbar. (I can never work out Schulz's accent - it sounds southern to my ill-trained ear, but he was born in Baltimore.)

More Tigers
Feb. 1st, 2005 08:29 pmI read chapter five. Now, why is the Doctor's attempt to parlay with the Tigers at the spaceport the crucial moment? Because of the threat the humans holding the 'port now pose - but this isn't made clear, either to the humans or the reader.
I still love the bit where the Doctor pisses off in to the Bewilderness. I think it needs to be explained better, either at that moment, or later: he's tried forging a peace from the human side of things, now he's going to try from the Tigers' side, leaving his companions in the city both for their safety and to prevent Quick from really screwing up. He's profoundly hurt because he doesn't fit in - not with Karl in the orchestra, or with Quick in the Movement. Later, he discovers he doesn't fit into the Tigers' world either. He's also in a profoundly bad mood, which I hugely enjoyed writing. The anti-Smurf.
