Skyfall 007/Q snippet
Nov. 13th, 2012 12:49 amI'm writing a story about Bond teaching Q how to drive a car, because most of the fics I've seen feature a Q that doesn't know how to drive, and I know this is perfectly accurate through my friends who live in urban areas.
This story isn't Britpicked at the moment. I learned English in India, and even though I speak American English with my IRL and online friends, I do speak Indian English with my family. It's a lot closer to British English than American English, and I don't want some poor U.K resident to suffer through my story. I am doing my research as I go, so if something doesn't 'sound' right, I try to rework it.
I'm a lot more familiar with Q because I'm a software engineer and know at least how he might think even if I'm not even a fraction as brilliant or resourceful. Bond is more difficult to grasp as a character. I'm not sure if I made him too personable.
*shrug* Anyway, this is the first bit. What do you think?
( (put on your ragged sweatshirt) i'll take you anywhere you want me to )
