Oh, I loved this one. Sometimes a bit confusing but brilliant - as The Doctor would say :) I love the way you developed the human Doctor with all his unknown feelings and his identification-progress, and Rose trying to figure out what she wants. Very well written!

Eeeh, thank you so much! :3 I'm really, really glad you enjoyed it. And yes, yes, I think it would've been weirder if I would've managed to write something that made total sense after that finale. I was a wreck D: Haha, we all were, I think! In some ways I'm sort of relieved it came out all 'bzuh?!' -- clarity would've confused me a whole lot more at the time, if that makes sense :D

That was the thing that bothered (bothers?) me the most about it all, the human!Doc -- he must be going NUTS. From the one moment to the other no tardisness, no travel, no timelordiness -- DOES have Rose, but she's probably freaked out by him. Guy doesn't get enough love, if you ask me :P

Thanks again! For reading and for the lovely words ♥

I love this! Your writing style captures the intensity and confusion of their thoughts, and the passion of their emotions. Excellent job!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it, because I know how this kind of run-on style isn't everyone's cup of tea -- so it's always a little a surprise when posting fics in this style, to see how people react. So it's comments like these that make my heart melt w/ relief. SO, again, thank you! :D

That was gorgeously written. I loved the style. It was kind of.... well, it seemed, liek it was straight from their heads in a way, kind of jumbled, kind of messed up, kind of..... written exactly as it was, rather than edited, and perfected. I loved it :D

Ohmy, thank you SO much! I'm happy you enjoyed :D Haha, yes, I wasn't actually indending on it being so stream-of-consciousnessy, but it's kind of hard to keep from going all blurry in the head when the subject is -- well, HA, sad! Because it is rather sad, and it still breaks my heart, but this -- fics, fandom, everything awesome -- sort of does make it better. I mean, after writing this? I felt a MILLION times better. As in, I wasn't that big of a slobbering mess anymore :P

Ah, I'm babbling, and I don't think I made any sort of point so I'll just wrap it up by saying thank you again and ♥ :3

surrender_drthy July 18 2008, 02:54:19 UTC

that's a good term for it. Stream of consiousnessy. lol. I liked it that way.

You, m'friend, are too kind.

Thank you so much! Hafta say, I was beyond a little nervous posting this -- it's always sort of daunting, new fandoms, even if you know how it works and have been a lurking part of it for a while -- you just never know how people are gonna react, you know? So this is the best kind of feeling, getting awesome reviews like this one when first venturing into unknown shippings. So, yes, thank you. Again :D

LOVED this. Such a jumble of confused thoughts and desperate emotions from the Doctor, and I think it would perfectly fit that disorienting state he'd be in after Bad Wolf Bay - no TARDIS, no sonic, and Rose wanting someone else. Thankfully, you made it right in he end. :D

derryere July 18 2008, 12:47:41 UTC

no TARDIS, no sonic, and Rose wanting someone else. I know, right! And not to mention the fact he has to deal with the idea of dying very very soon, seeing as he's a bajillion years old. I mean, he's lonely travelling around space most of the time -- but I think that's nothing compared to the absolute desolation he'd feel being stuck on earth for just one person -- and she can't even accept his existence. HAHA, WOE IS DOCTOR.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D
