almost because that would mean eleven only likes river Out of curiosity, btw: I remember you saying that your issues with Doctor/Romana had something to do with how it was pushed as canon. Shouldn't you be having issues with Doctor/River, for similar reasons? I mean, it's much more hyped as Real True Canon Love Forever, after all. ;D
Noo, they both chucked him out of the room and had a thing without him. ;-) My brain's cracky that way. Then they all tried on clothes together and River destroyed hats, which was probably what ended the evening. Naturally.
I just don't do all-the-Doctors/Anyone as an OTP in fanfic. Except the TARDIS. And I don't really feel River is portrayed as even Eleven's OTP on the show, let alone all the Doctors, so it doesn't bother me. And I like Romana shipped with individual Doctors fine. (I've got a definite soft spot for Four/Romana I and Eight/Romana II particularly - I love the way they are together.) It's when it gets OTPish in fanfic with anyone I tend to stop reading, that's all. We all like different things.
What I'm wondering at the moment is if Clara is in some way fobwatched (or something-ed) Romana...?

I really, really hope not, 'cause they'll never do shippy Eleven/Romana as long as River's around, and I'd hate to see her be used as yenta to Eleven/River or have her portrayed just as The Ex in order to create wacky 'drama' that'll end up with Romana saying something ''He never looked at me the way he looks at you'' or something equally trite. Sorry, I'm like that. ;D

You ain't ever gonna make me read Eleven/River, though, even if it's got Eleven/Romana in it.;D

And, :lol:, I won't try! It was slightly more River/Romana, is that even worse? ;-p)
