Doctor Who: The Pirate Loop (Pages 7-64: 65-144: 145-212)

(This is a three part blog post) So I started another fanfiction called Doctor Who: The Pirate Loop by Simon Guerrier. He starts it off with the Doctor and Martha surrounded by dancing robots and then haves them go to a ship where a bunch of aliens are vacationing. The ship is attacked by pirates and they start shooting everybody, not knowing their guns just transported the aliens to another part of the ship, either minutes/hours before or after they attacked.

In this part of the reading, I learned the term wossname. Wossname means something that has been temporarily forgotten or is irrelevant. The Doctor could not remember the name to something so he called it a wossname.

On page 64, Martha is separated from the Doctor and has a run in with the pirates. She's shot and is returned to the Doctor, who is busy trying to keep the guns from going off. He's slowly figuring everything out and is rejoiced to see Martha again.

In this part, I learned the term proffering. Proffer means to hold something out for acceptance. The Doctor was holding out his hand so the pirates would proffer his proposal for peace.

On page 145, the Doctor has just put everything together and has brought the pirates and ship drivers together to make peace. There's lots of fighting, but they work out their differences. In the end, everyone gets along and the time loop is fixed.

I learned the term iota. Iota means an extremely small amount. Like certain people in school show an iota amount of work and determination.
