Sometimes I write words but mostly I just sit around like a big sack of meat and read.

Dr. Whooves is Ponyville's esteemed clockmaker. Well, he's the clockmaker when he isn't busy defeating evil aliens and adventuring through all of time and space. One day, he meets a strange mare in his TARDIS, and she just won't leave. What's the poor Time Lord to do?

I literally submitted this five minutes ago. What the hell just happened.

Well that was a fun romp.

The stallion made his way to the back of the basement, where a large blue box was standing. He smiled as he rubbed the ship's wooden exterior. "Hello, sexy. I'm home."

Now please excuse me while I wipe the Coca-cola off my monitor.

Also, is this the 9th, 10th or 11th Doctor? Since they have such different personalities.

I like to think that all good Doctors are the 10th Doctor.

2026713
They streamlined the approval process, apparently, or something.

2026741
Neither, it's the pony Doctor! :pinkiecrazy:

"It's... it's... it's smaller on the outside!"

The Doctor's smile fell off his face. "That's... that's not what they usually say."

This made me smile. Also, I need to retrieve my mind from the gutter.

Sadly this didn't include the part where she says "Its smaller on the outside".

The way you portrayed Derpy/Ditzy reminds me of Clara Oswin Oswald.

Goody. A Doctor Who fic by you. This should be a fun romp.

Really? I find that many stories are entirely about the Doctor and Derpy meeting.

Not bad. Have a fave and a stache. :moustache:

Quick! Don‘t ask questions! Just accept this review from: Authors Helping Authors

Name of Story: Get out of my TARDIS!

Grammar score out of 10: 9 I don’t think anyone’s grammar is perfect, but yours is still pretty good.

Pros:

Doctor Whooves is always welcome when it’s written well.

The Doctor was spot on.

I would rather like to see where this story could go.

Cons:

His companion is almost always Derpy. It’s become a boring cliché by now.

It felt like it could have been longer.

There isn’t really a number three…

Notes Section:

Not a whole lot to say here. For the most part, you did a good job. I don’t think I need to reiterate my pros section, now do I? BUT, I’m pretty sure you want me to talk about the cons, eh?

Too Bad.

Just kidding, I’ll totally elaborate.

Anyways, I shall start at the top. I understand that being the other half of what I call the “brony-made duo,” it makes sense for Derpy to be the companion. And it can still work, provided you write the story well enough. All I’m saying is it would be nice to see some other pony get to travel with the doctor. It wouldn’t have to be one of the mane six, either. It could be another background pony who was adopted by bronies, like maybe Lyra, or Vinyl. Heck, I’ll even give you a title for a Vinyl Scratch traveling with Doctor Whooves story: Wubs for the Doctor. Doesn’t that sound awesome?
(Psst. Hey, whoever is reading this. If you actually decide to use that idea, it’d be pretty awesome if you gave me a shout out for it. Just sayin‘.)

The second con isn’t really as straightforward as it sounds. What I meant was, it feels like there should be more to this story. I don’t know if there will be, so that may go away in time.

Overall, good job! You certainly earned a favorite and up vote from me!

Enjoy your review!  I‘d really appreciate if you checked out my : Que Sera, Sera

Actually, it's the fifteenth since the original, so it would be new-new-new-new-new, new-new-new-new,new-new-new-new-new-new-new Equestria.

2038086
Yes, but that's a mouthful, so they just shortened it to New Equestria.

or New (15) Equestria.

2026713 I guess everypony just like these kinds of stories :trollestia:

Derpy X Doctor Hooves. My life is complete.

I love you for this. Now give us more. :twilightsmile:

*looks at the chapter post dates*

I suppose the rest will be for January 2015? :trixieshiftright:

5126301

Heh heh heh :twilightblush: It's still being written, just... very slowly. I don't have a cutie mark in time management...

5126497
Hmm. Seems that with the new update, they still haven't fixed the notification problem :facehoof:

Basically, people don't get notifications of replies if the reply isn't in the same chapter as the comment that's being replied to. My comment was made on chapter 1. Your reply, probably made on the main page of the fic, ended up in the last chapter, meaning I got no notification of it. I only found your message because I decided to check back here after a few hours.

So yeah. Keep that in mind when replying to comments :unsuresweetie:

5126497
Ah, don't worry, I'm the same. Was basically just making sure it wasn't another ghost town fic. Your reply was enough for me to decide it's worth investing my time and emotions into. :twilightsmile:

"But what if the T stood for Toilet?"
"It doesn't stand for toilet."

Hah. I love this interaction :rainbowlaugh:

> Nieghngland
As pun on England, I think you have to write the "Neigh" part correctly. You switched the 'e' and the 'i'.

5126628

Shhhh that's intentional... :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

Now excuse me while I go edit something that TOTALLY isn't that because I don't make mistakes.

5126628

Oh, and thanks for the tip on replying, my friend! That problem could have caused some awkward or frustrating situations had it not been addressed.

run by non other than the great-great-great-great-great (etc.) grandchildren of Ponyville's own Mr. and Mrs. Cake.

Huh. I had expected Pinkie Pie to have taken it over. Then again, maybe I just read too much Slice of Life comic.

"I'm sorry, Derpy, my mind tends to wander after that incident on Curunir... now that I think about it, I never did get those brain cells back, did I?"

"To this day, I still don't know how that banana grew legs and assaulted the princess."

See, that's what I like about Doctor Who - all those silly Noodle Incidents :rainbowlaugh:

Derpy was gone.

Ahh. The plot commences!

Remarks and corrections:
> Keep your head down and try not be be noticed.
Double "be". Should be "try not [to] be noticed."
> His sentence was cut short when he turns around.
Keep consistent tense. (Yes, even in a time travel story!) Should be "when he [turned] around."

5126695

At this rate, I should just make you my editor. Thanks for pointing these things out!

The Doctor trotted closer to the stunned princesses and shook both of their hooves. "Hello, I'm the Doctor. I'm here to help!"

Booyah! :rainbowlaugh:

The mare jumped back in surprise and just barely managed to stifle a scream as the pony inside the vat pressed herself against the glass. A unicorn mare with wires attached on her body looked out at Derpy, saying something the grey pegasus couldn't hear.

Bug people and tube ponies! The plot thickens!

Remarks and corrections:
> She's be trapped in a box
"[She'd] be trapped in a box"
> Surely whoever put her here would want to keep her alive long enough to do whatever it is they wanted to do to her
Missing period behind the sentence. Also, tense inconsistency: "whatever it [was] they wanted to do to her".

5126733

Thanks! Corrected all those mistakes.

That was the thing that surprised Derpy. Why would an alien spaceship label everything in Equish?

Looks like the TARDIS' influence reaches quite far :pinkiehappy:

by reversing the polarity of the transmat beam

Really? You went there? Reversing the Star-Trek-damned polarity? :rainbowlaugh:

...or perhaps the TARDIS had let her in for a reason.

Clever girl. And then I mean the TARDIS, not Derpy.

Remarks and corrections:
> before the remnants become to stale to track!
"become [too] stale to track!"
> Whoosh...
Isn't the accepted onomatopoeia "vworp vworp vworp"? :rainbowwild:
By the way, you forgot the "h" in the last of these three. Don't know if that was intentional or a mistake.
> When I was done that
Should be "When I was done [with] that".

The mayor waved a hoof and blushed. "Oh, how strange," she muttered, avoiding looking at the Doctor. "I wonder who could be doing that?"

Hah! :rainbowlaugh:

The stalls were burned to a crisp. The road was muddy and wet, and debris was littered all over. Hovering above it all, holding a storm cloud in her hooves, was Derpy.

"Uh... oops?"

Never a dull moment with Derpy around. She either saves the day... or plunges it into chaos all by herself!

"They don't want to see you for a while, you say? Well then, let's do that. Do you think four hundred years is enough time for them to cool off?"

This whole thing SO needs to end with a gag of them coming back only a minute after leaving :rainbowwild:

"No, they don't move Ponyville for another five hundred years..."

I adore these silly time gags :pinkiehappy:

"Oh, well, I'm not a doctor of medicine! Well, I am a doctor of medicine but I'm also a doctor of crime! What are those called again?"

Right, right, but I'm not sure medical degrees from before the banishment of Nightmare Moon are still accepted here. Medical practices evolved a bit since then, you know. Did that even include nano-treatments? :trixieshiftright:

He pulled out a black case with a blank slip of paper on it and showed it to the two mares, who looked closely at it. "See? Here's my badge, which proves that I am, in fact, a detective."

Ohey, the good old psychic paper :pinkiehappy:

Remarks and corrections:
> "How did you manage to both to both set a fire and flood the market at the same time?"
-Double "to both"
-The expression is "to set fire to", so that should be "to both [set fire to] and flood the market"

5126830

Fixed. And don't worry, the next chapter is being typed up as we speak.

5126703
Well, I consider it a free service. I notice these errors anyway, so, why not make sure they get fixed too, hm? :twilightblush:

5126666
The fact the chapter indication on the main listing is now a link straight to the post in the actual chapter comments makes it a lot less awkward than it was... though the notifications should really point to that link too, instead of the one on the main page view :facehoof:

5127116

Well, I appreciate it anyway. Now, if you like this story, you'll probably like my other story, Moondrop, as well.

They're not similar in the slightest, I'm just shamelessly self-promoting. Don't judge me, an author's gotta get out there somehow.

"Oh, this?" the Doctor said, showing her the black case again. "Psychic paper. Shows them what I want them to see," he explained.

Doesn't it actually work by showing them what they want to see?

"You've got to be careful with it, though. Sometimes it'll show things you don't really want to be shown. I'm not allowed on the planet of New Triton anymore," he admitted, sheepish.

Oooh-kay, seems his psychic paper works slightly different than the Doctor Who canon one, then?

The mare sighed and facehoofed, clearly frustrated. "Sir, that's a coupon to Cheesy Crust's pizzeria down the street, not a royal inspector's badge." On cue, the Doctor's stomach grumbled.

...oh. I see what you did there :rainbowlaugh:

"Well, uh... it's alright, cell phones will be invented next year, anyway."

Hah! For Derpy's sake, though, he might want to say "portable phones" instead :trixieshiftright:

Remarks and corrections:
> “Show's them what I want them to see
"[Shows] them what"
> a coupon to Cheesy Crust's pizzaria down the street
"pizzeria"
> she wen through a phase in her teenage years
"she [went] through"
