I love the way you write the interaction between Rose, Jack, and the Doctor. You are a master at their complex relationship. The information about the knots and ribbon colors was wonderful. Is that based on something you have encountered, or are you just that awesome? Rose and the Doctor's first kiss was so sweet and full of so much meaning.

This was so funny:
Rose laughed but averted her eyes.  “Rusty brown for ape, creamsicle for ‘for a human,’ tied in a square knot for tolerance.”

“With a binding of caution tape mauve for not wandering off,” Jack reminded her.

Thank you for another great story!

Hiya bloose!! :)

The knots and ribbon colors is kind of the way I am? I attribute meaning to things?? It's also part heraldry -- the colors on flags always having symbolic meaning -- and part just my take on our cultural assignment of meaning to certain colors?? Like when Jack says the light yellow green color symbolizes rebirth, it kind of does?? I'm so glad it worked for you. :D

Always thrilled to provide a story for happy enjoyment! :D

Finally made up a print cover for my ballads album :P Now to print a CD and actually mail it to you. :P

[aililinnea]

Oh yeah, I was wondering about that! Sometimes things get buried in the pile of CDs on my desk, but I thought I would have noticed yours if it came in.

Oh this was so lovely. I ribbons and colours with their meanings is a beautiful idea and really add great emotion and feeling to the story almost without words. Very nice indeed.
