Introductory post
Hi! I've just joined the community and I thought I'd introduce myself. My name's Tianne and I'm an old Doctor Who fan (grew up on Tom Baker, was taken by my parents to my first DW convention at eight or so) who also unabashedly loves new Who and Torchwood.
I have to admit, I wasn't a huge Mickey fan before "Rise of the Cybermen", but he really seemed to come into his own in that episode and the next. And I almost immediately fell in love with the idea of Jake/Ricky and all the potential and conflicts inherent in Mickey staying behind with Jake and stepping into the place of a man he didn't actually know, in a situation he didn't fully understand. I simultaneously wish Mickey's story hadn't been so completely eclipsed by Rose's and rejoice that they left it just hinted at, so there's more room for us to play. :)
By the way, I'm starting a long Mickey/Jake fic that's probably a bit self-indulgent - it's long, and covers a lot of what we've seen in DW from Mickey's POV - but it's been nagging me for ages now and I guess it just really wants to be written. It's mostly for me, but I'll at least be posting it on my own journal and I'm a perfectionist about my writing. Would anyone be interested in beta-ing it for me?
Anyway, it's nice to meet you all, and I look forward to getting to know you!
