Random Shippy Drivel - DW (spoilers up to S3)

Doctor/Rose versus Ten/Martha. Under the cut because it's utter nonsense and was written solely to drag me out of my emo and kick me into believing in my ship again. Sometimes I need to remind myself of this stuff, when I read articles about bed-sharing or the Doctor invites yet another person along.

For a moment there, I thought I could see where

So I know I've never commented in your journal before except for to occasionally leave a review of a story...though I usually just lurk. But your thoughts on being a shipper practically had me crying all over again. Because that is exactly what I've been trying to express. To let people ship whoever they ship and just leave it at that. I have a girl on my f-list that goes on constantly about how Rose/Doctor shippers are delusional and that Time and Chips can't really ever move foward as a community because their a Doctor/Rose only community. And the sad thing is, she's a Doctor/Rose shipper. She at least used to be, a huge shipper of them. And a big defender of the couple. But she strikes out at the D/R shippers now, just because some of them decided to bash Martha. But like I said, she's constantly going on about how we take everything in the new episodes and relate it to Rose and how we all need to get over that Rose wasn't super special and what not.

So simply put after all my random rambling. It's really really really good to see some one else be a D/R shipper and still share the same thoughts about the fandom as me. Cause lets face it, regardless of what fandom your in, people are going to ship different couples, and hate some couples. But just let them be. If you don't like the ship, don't read it.

Lol, I'll stop rambling now :) But I'm glad to see you've decided that they did love each other, and are able to except the simply platonic(well on the doctors side) relationship of Martha and the Doctor. I've found that being able to accept that, makes the episodes a lot more easier to swallow.

But just let them be. If you don't like the ship, don't read it. - That's the best thing about DW: it's a great big breeding ground for denial, whichever ship it is that you're trying to ignore. *grins*

I've found that being able to accept that, makes the episodes a lot more easier to swallow. - It really does, because now I can be glad that he has someone there for him, rather than resentful because it's not Rose. :)
