Is this darkfic?

soweareaboy August 16 2006, 15:29:39 UTC

I have no idea. It's just fic.

I just wondered, cos the Doctor's a total bastard in it and I was wondering if that was the point? It's pretty dark with the killing through negligence and the way he refuses to engage with any emotion beyond "despair about Rose." A hundred years of moping is suggestive of severe mental problems on his part, no?

Oh! Absolutely. Thanks for clarifying. Yeah, it's kind of a musing on a "maybe what could be". I mean it sucks pretty hard: he's lead a life that has left pretty much a royal mess everywhere he goes and that's finally catching up with him. I didn't really mean it to be "darkfic" necessarily, but I guess it is a look down the dark side, like the cave, hehe. I kind of liked the idea of the Doctor as being this romantic antihero. His insanity is different though. What's the only way he can destroy himself? It's through Time and his conscious eating away at him. Something of a reversion. If that makes any sense.

This was certainly an intriguing way of looking at it~I liked it.
DarkFic or not, I think he still sounds like the Doctor but not(I bet that doesnt make any sense)
As a what if it's pretty potent.
Bravo.

Potent. I like that...Danke doll!

I think this is completely fantastic, dark fic or no. I like the angst of it, and I think it would be interesting to see you right a bit of a companion piece, counterpointing this doctor with Rose and how she possibly would have changed on the alt!Earth. (But that may just mostly be because I love your writing style.)

soweareaboy August 16 2006, 19:28:16 UTC

alt!buddies--anyway... Great idea! I might just do that. I love it when people give me ideas! Takes away all the work thus leaving the fun! You made my day, giving me a FANTASTIC! YAY!

I personally love dark takes on characters, seeing the not-so-pretty mighthavebeens, so I loved this.
