Yay! I'm thrilled that you liked this and thought the characterization and pacing worked. I'm always concerned when I'm writing something with a lot of humor. There's always the terror that it might just not be funny. And I should thank you for helping inspire my writing with this piece. I listened to River/Doctor vids while writing this and your My Heart With You vid is one of those I listened to. Probably responsible for some of his more serious musings toward the end. Thanks so much for your feedback. It means a lot to me.
I'm so pleased that you feel the serious was a great balance for the jokes. I like my humor with a little weight in it and it's really reassuring to hear others do too. Thanks so much for the compliments! It's a rush.
(OT: if you want to make another video any time soon, I wouldn't be objecting. :) There really aren't enough great River vids. I doubt there ever will be.)
I am very happy that you liked this! I really wanted to make sure you did. I have honestly never written or really even read anything having to do with pirates before. So this was an adventure for me! I was pleased with the result but really, since it was for you, in my mind, you set the final verdict. I'm very relieved that you enjoyed it. It was a hoot to write.
"Ok, I think I officially love the way you write these two." Yay! I think I can officially go to bed with a grin on my face tonight.
"Plus, ya know, pirates . . ." I can't tell you how hard it was to deny myself the opportunity to dress River up like a pirate. 'Cause you know she'd be the most BAMF pirate of all time. The Doctor would probably trip over his own feet. It would've been awesome. *Sigh* Damn need for plot.

I can't tell you how hard it was to deny myself the opportunity to dress River up like a pirate. I'm pretty sure I would have succumbed. But then, I have a weakness for crackfic. Not that it would necessarily be crackfic. But I would try.
Damn need for plot. I am highly suspicious of this "plot" thing. It seems to me to be some sort of evil scheme to distract from the important things--like character beats and symbolism and musical numbers.
Hahaha! The plot is most definitely an evil scheme. The cake is a lie. And there is no spoon. And I am in love with your icon here. River's face is just the best.
I'm happy you enjoyed it! And I do love River's hair. Though, I might've focused on it a bit more than I usually would because she was also buried up to her chin in sand. Leaves very little else to focus on. lol Thanks so much for leaving me feedback. It makes me grin irl when I get to hear people have enjoyed one of my fanfics. :D
I am entirely incapable of saying how much I love this, except it so perfectly illustrates why he'll fall for her. :)
He should've expected this. It had always been a matter of time. Also, I asked one of my friends to make me an icon with almost exactly that wording. She's been too busy with RL to make it yet, but at some point I shall get it and be happy! Cause it's so them.
Now let's see if my five foster kittens will allow me to write a reply to this. They are trying to sit on my netbook. Please forgive typos. Anyway, I am very complimented that you liked this. And believe it captured why the Doctor fell for her. Sometimes I have a hard time feeling I illustrate that properly in my fics because I feel like saying, "Well, duh. Of course he loves her, she's the most BAMF thing to ever BAMF." Strangely enough, that's a really hard line to fit into a Doctor Who fanfic. Though if anyone would say it, I'm thinking Amy. Anyway! I'm glad you liked that quote and I look forward to seeing the icon you already had requested that had a similar line in mind. I already love the icon you used here so I look forward to that one too. Thanks for the feedback!

Strangely enough, that's a really hard line to fit into a Doctor Who fanfic. First of all, I know exactly what you mean. And secondly, then I think this ficlet actually comes pretty close: So I Shall Unravel My Love. As you say, it's Amy who has to say it. :)
As for icons, then I am addicted. Esp to Doctor/River ones. LJ's gonna take alllll my money!
(Also - FIVE foster kittens? That sounds way too adorable!)
Thank you SO MUCH for recommending that fanfic. I just adored it. Not only did I like it because it exemplified why I worship River, but it also made me like Amy even more (something I've struggled with this season because of characterization issues). I'm definitely going to be recommending that to others. Especially since so much of Amy's dialogue is essentially what went through my head when I first saw River (the Angel eps, which were the reason I got into DW). First, totally wanted to grow up to be her. Now, after having seen all of her awesomeness to date, it's graduated to me telling people they must watch the show for this character because I want to have her babies. They know I'm mostly joking. Mostly
