"This year I'm crazy enough to do it again, and this is the first."
Ok, that's as far as I'm reading tonight. Tomorrow I get to watch the ep and then this'll be the first thing I'll read. So happy you're doing your own series again! Yay!

[hippiebanana132]

Thank you!! It means a lot that people are excited I'm doing this again (though it's a little scary, haha! I don't want to disappoint anyone). Enjoy the episode!! I'm sure you'll love it =D

Sorry it took me so long to get back over here to comment.
You definitely do not disappoint. This is beautiful- the whole story feels edge of seat, breath-holding anticipation- and yet quiet and real.

Thank you so much!

Sorry it took me so long to get back over here to comment. - Not at all; I'm pleased that you read whenever you do it. =D

YES. Absolutely YES!!! I love this. It's perfect. I have this image in my head of it being just like this, and I love the idea of Rose following him like a ghost, and him wondering, but not being able to believe or accept it because it seems too much like his own brain playing tricks on him. Fabulous.

THANK YOU for writing this so soon after the eppy. It absolutely hit my mood spot-on today!

Wow. Brilliant. Just brilliant. I'm glad you'll be doing the fic-an-episode - your fics are always fantastic. :)

[hippiebanana132]

Aww, thank you! I think I might be a bit crazy to take this on again, but it's comments like that that make me glad I'm doing it all the same =)

[anti_social_ite]

*laughs* There's nothing wrong with being crazy, especially since it's going to make me the rest of your readers happy.

What did you think of Partners In Crime?

[hippiebanana132]

I don't think I could have loved it more. Every time I think about it, I giggle. Even without Rose, it was hilarious - and could Donna's grandad be any more brilliant?!

What about you?

Oh, but wasn't this absolutely fantastic? I adored this. I loved your tiny series from last year, but since I only watched the third season sometime in December, I wasn't reading it as the episodes aired, but reading it as a whole - for some reason this has a harder effect on me. And I love that.

♥ Gorgeously written - her hopes, her dreams, her nightmares, and how she always fades, or he just can't see her - almost chilling, kind of like she's a ghost? And I adored the hope that that last segment filled me with - she's real! The episode made me grin, her appearance made me wonder if I should smile or cry, and the expression on her face kind of broke my heart - but this fic has made me smile all over again. he's going to see her too - thank goodness.

[hippiebanana132]

kind of like she's a ghost? - Mmmhmm. I just had this image of her being there at certain moments but no-one ever knowing, this invisible sad little ghost flittering through his life.

her appearance made me wonder if I should smile or cry, and the expression on her face kind of broke my heart - but this fic has made me smile all over again. - I had the exact same reaction as you to the episode, so I'm glad I managed to give you some hope! =D

Thanks so much =)
