One odd thing though. Your descriptions of Polly and Henry here and the tales of their first adventure and the other things that have led them to this point are clear, concise and enertaining. Then I read 'The Wild Colonial Slayer'. Your synopsis/recap here is, say, twenty times better than the original fic.
I'm going to have to watch the film, because of this story. Seems you've definitely captured the feeling of adventure... :D
Not to mention the boating song ;)

Thanks for your nice review.
North West Frontier is an great adventure film and well worth the time to watch, and oddly prophetic considering modern day events!
I've been thinking about doing more xovers with Kenneth Moore films; I've done two so far (That Sinking Feeling and this one) although in that fic he's only in it for about a paragraph or two. I'll see how I feel.
There will be other 'Wild Colonial Slayer' stories as I get round to writing them. Glad you enjoyed it.
All the best, Davet.

The battle in the train roof was really heavy, that Van Lyndel dude was strong.
So, got any special plans about Polly and Henry travel trough the west?. They could meet with a lone ranger ;). That sounded veery Tolkien!He he!
Once again congratulations!
See ya!!

Thanks, I think you've made this the highest review to hit ratio story...don't you just love statistics!
Right the future; Maybe a trip[ to that little place called Sunnydale then on into the wild-ish west for 'She Wore a Yellow Ribbon'. After that who knows? The Wind and the Lion maybe. I have vague ideas about doing a Jeeves and Wooster xover. All in the far future.
All the best, DaveT.

And the Slayer from down under returns... and her husband too!! =). Do why I have the feeling that you have a serious dislike for reporters?. First, the girl from All The President Slayers and now this guy ;).
See ya!!.
ETA: You could hate the Rabbits raisers, they're easy prey...=D!

Pure co-incidence! Actually until you mentioned it I'd not remembered the connection! Must be more even handed in the future. Now who can I hate....?
All the best, DaveT.
