Oh, tkel. Reading this and commenting without letting prior knowledge (and inherent biases!) affect them is really hard!

As a "new viewer", I would definitly be intrigued by the Doctor and his antics. I would really wonder about Donna and her past, especially the mysterious absent father.

But what is even more interesting to me is all of the subtle little details you give about Jenny, which make one wonder if there is more to her (and her background) than meets the eye.

I am very interested in finding out more about these people and situation. Oh, and I love Jenny and Mickey together. (I'm trying not get ahead of myself and express the hope that Jenny doesn't treat Mickey the same way a certain 'pink and yellow' creature did!)

Your icon reminds me I need to get some Nine icons. :(

I know it's hard! I just felt I had to make that note, to see what people would think about this New New Who. :)

You're meant to be intrigued about all that. I'm glad they've caught your interest.

Oh, now that you've made those comments, feel free to tell me how "Jenny" compares with "Rose." I'd love to hear your thoughts. :D

[serenityslady]

I just snagged some off of Google images!

I'm glad you did. I understood how you intended us to read the story and, subsequently, comment.

So, how do I really feel?? Well, it is pretty well know (at least among those I correspond with regularly and chat with in The Gutter) that my opinion of dear Rosie is not the greatest. Rosie was a classless, whiney, selfish, spolied brat who used people (and helpless TARDISes) to her own advantage and to her own whims. I could go on at length, but I won't.

Jenny, having the advantage of the practical, loving and unconsciously brilliant Donna as a mother, is much more down to Earth, responsible, ambitious and caring. And then there's the little attributes I can only imagine she inherited from her father (a medical man, was he????). Physics, really? Definitely the wunderlust.

I am very interested in where this goes. I am hoping for some serious timey-wimeyness that will satisfy my Doctor/Donna shippy heart! :D

[tkel_paris]

Cool. I'm kinda partial to ones with comments in them. :)

Good. And I'm glad you added. :)

What do you mean by "The Gutter"? Just curious.

Heh. Understatement. I watched the episode and just wanted to slap her out of her idiocy. Especially at the end. Believe me, I've probably heard the complaints before. Doesn't mean they don't need airing in fanfics. :)

Not to mention Donna wouldn't be afraid to tell her daughter No on occasion. The puppy-eyes would just ensure her forgiveness, but not get Jenny out of trouble. :D

Keep reading. I'll post more later today. I'm still waiting for the birthday gal's reaction. :D

Birthdays are not supposed to be accompanied by buckets of rain that kill my internets *is sad, cos I missed this until now* Evil internets. And errands. Evil, evil evil. (Except one errand was to get my birthday present, so yay) Anyway, on with the real stuff :D

[tkel_paris]

Aw... *hugs* My birthday this year included a networking meeting, a job interview, and taking my mom to a doctor's appointment. Did at least go buy myself some nice things, and went out to join a friend's celebration party. Hope the rains go away

[cassikat]

Sounds like we both had horrible stuff getting in the way of our celebrating *hug* And it's now official - the only things that saved my birthday were the presents :) Especially yours and TM's :D

[bas_math_girl]

I just wanted to say "Wallace & Gromit!!!!" since I've already told you how much I love this.

And yay! that cassikat loved it too. :D

*kiss kiss*

[tkel_paris]

*hugs*
*kiss*
*hug*

[docdonna]

OMG! one of my new fav fan/headCanons

[tkel_paris]

Wow. You liked it! You really, really liked it! :D

*clears throat* Please excuse my Sally Fields impression there.

All the answers will be revealed slowly. Very slowly, as I intend to extend this through Series 1 and beyond. And I'm still working on "The End of the World."

So hang tight and enjoy the ride! :D

[yellow_craion]

Wow! It it was the first episode of DW I ever watched ('Rose' wasn't) I'd be impressed and thrilled and definitely wanting more! Great job! You not only changed things, but improved so much - Jenny's relationships with Mickey and her mother feel more genuine here than in the series and she's very likable too.

And because I can't completely suspend what I know about the series, I am so excited (and hopeful) Ten is Jenny's dad and now she met Nine and she''ll get to know him and... oh, timey-wimey indeed!

[tkel_paris]

I love your icon. Have I told you that? :D

Thank you. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story. I will be continuing this through Series 1 and 2. :D Keep reading!

[yellow_craion]

Thank you! :] It's one of the first icons I've made that weren't a complete failure ;)

Yay~! I will :D
