Got Roughly 9 1/2 Hours of Sleep Last Night

[crossover_chick]

So I don't feel NEARLY as spaced as usual. Hopefully this is a good thing.
-TD: So why don't you open up WordPerfect instead of spending time messing around on TV Tropes?-
Hey, don't knock TV Tropes.
-TD: Why shouldn't I mock TV Tropes? They--
Lead me straight to this.
-TD: . . .-
-D: Great Scott, someone else had that idea?-
There's even a real steam-powered R2-D2 video on there!
-M: *waves hand in front of TeenDoc's face* I think his brain's shorted out.-
Give him a minute, I'm sure he'll be rushing off to the lab and attempting to duplicate all of this soon.
-OD: *tentacles chatter* Steampunk Dr. Octopus? I seem to recall something on devART. . . .-
Yeah, This version of movie!Otto's invention. I forget if she did the tentacles themselves. *searches* AhHA, here we go!
-OD: *tentacles squeak* They think they look scary.-
-VD2: *raises eyebrow*-
-OD: *tentacles poke him* You know what they mean! And I agree, the steampunk design looks more menacing than the regular version.-
But still super-cool. This is exactly why I like Girl Genius -- retro-technology just has that special touch.
-VD: Maybe this will encourage you to finish "Boy Genius" this century.-
Well, like I said, 9 1/2 hours of sleep. Should be translated into SOMETHING resembling--
*loud BOOOM* nearly knocks everyone over*
-D: What in the name of --
-VD2: Did -- did TeenDoc just break the sound barrier?-
See, what did I tell you?
-DW: *holding ears* Awwooooooo-
-TD: *yelling from basement lab* Sorry, DocWolf!-
-MF: *digs finger in ear* Yeah, make us all deaf in the name of science, why don't you. . . .-
-HD: If you want, I'll go have a talk with him. Tell him how rude it is to just rush off like that, leaving sonic booms in your wake, how you should be considerate of others, no this isn't a transparent ruse to go play with the steampunk technology-
Just GO already!
-HD: *grins and runs off, followed by Bernie the teapot*-
-RPD: *changes to ghost form* I get the feeling being Mostly Dead might be safer today.-
-VD: I'll round up the fire extinguishers.-
-VD2: I'll check on the first aid kit.-
. . .
-VD2: Yes, we have a first aid kit!-
-D: As you might put it, we're crazy, not stupid.-
Heh.

<.< >.> Okay, now that they're distracted, I have a question for those of you on my friendslist who write BTTF fanfic. It's been bugging me for a bit (damned if I know why):


When did you guys have Doc lose his virginity?

Yeah, I know, weird question, right? But I've been wondering. I think most of us all agree that Marty loses his on his wedding night to Jennifer (perhaps a little before, I dunno.) But Doc's more of a wildcard. I know Mike Mahoney had his Doc lose it to Jill Wooster (and get an illegimate son out of the deal!), and martyfan had him lose it earlier (I don't think she remembered exactly when or with who). But what about everyone else? My Docs, as you probably know from their complaints on the subject, are virgins until their wedding nights. Mom Sarah was a big believer in "nice boys and girls wait," and besides, Doc doesn't seem the type to just go -- sticking it -- anywhere, Playboy magazine aside.


Okay, I'm off before one of the boys spots that and decides I need my head examined by a blunt object. *zoom*

Haha, well, I've never addressed the matter in any of my fics, but I would imagine it wasn't until his wedding night.

Although I have not yet finished any fanfiction on the subject, during conversation with a friend, we determined that Doc had lost it to...let me find the chat log (friend's name altered for anonymity). This might interest you.

Person X: but he is so old and creepy-lookin', and apparently he was always old and creepy-lookin'
Person X: seriously do you think he has ever found a lady with which to do the deed
geno0823: dude doesn't strike me as the type, I think he just sublimates all of his sexual impulses into science
geno0823: like the same way people said newton did, but without all the messing around with alchemy when he got old and senile
Person X: nah dog I bet he did it at least once
Person X: bet he was a wild man way back when
geno0823: or hung out with wild men?
Person X: that is more likely because nuclear scientists are wild and crazy guys
Person X: maybe he was tight with j. rob oppenheimer and rico fermi and what's his name, the dude with the bongos
geno0823: richard feynman
Person X: yeah, him. those were wild dudes. i bet late of a night in los alamos they would go out on the town and tie one on to blow off steam
Person X: maybe treat the new kid to a little somethin' somethin'
Person X: seriously it is likely that he just lost it to the oldest whore in alamogordo
geno0823: what at like age 20 or whatever
geno0823: he wouldn't have been out of college by then
Person X: nah dog the government took every whiz kid they could get
geno0823: maybe he was into rocketships instead being of a jules verne disposition
geno0823: and he could have hung out with his relative werner and maybe jack parsons
Person X: and lost it to one of his buddy jack's redheaded demon-mama ladies
geno0823: nah man even if he hung out with parsons can you really see him joining crowley's gang
geno0823: i mean lighting black candles and trying to summon up some antichrist mojo
geno0823: the dude is rational if nothing else
geno0823: and his only mistress is science

I haven't really thought too much about it, but I figured Doc doesn't lose his virginity until the day he marries Clara. After all, he grew up in an era where it was much less acceptable to "do the deed" outside of marriage.

Only for upper-and-middle-class women. Even in that era, it wasn't considered particularly unusual for a man to go downmarket for a little somethin' somethin' before he got married. Before the WWII era, many men's fathers actually took them to brothels when they reached puberty as an initiation ritual.
