I am very curious about the characters with whom you identify, now! I identify very strongly with Mark Corrigan in many ways, although I don't have quite his level of repressed rage (or so I hope).

I did read the Brooker/Hammond fic, but I didn't comment on it because I was a bit thrown by all the tense shifts and the mentioned deaths of Hammond's family (even in a passing mention, real-person deathfic freaks me out).

Should the author somehow stumble across this comment: I apologise. I've got nothing at all against you. It's just that my personal hangups got in the way. I should probably have expected some death, given that it was, y'know, post-apocalyptic.
