Thank you very much for what I think of as "my" story! Though it's probably cheating to get a story from a ficathon when I'm not taking part myself. I've read it a few times over the past couple of weeks, but wanted to think it through properly before commenting

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed response!

I'm going tick, tick, tick with so many of your comments, I'm so pleased that you noticed all these things!

but on the very latest reading I wondered whether Donna would have known the significance of the Doctor's fob watch through her own memories - or sensed the parallel between the wiping of his memories through the Chameleon Arch and what has happened to her. And of course she later follows John Smith's example by keeping a diary of her impossible dreams

Actually, I hadn't thought of that. I mean, it's true, but I didn't put it there deliberately.

I love the glimpse of the Doctor as White Rabbit leading her into Wonderland.
(grin) It seemed so fitting to do that in the dream of the English Country Garden.

And the next dream blurs beautifully from Donna's own memories of Miss Evangelista to the Doctor's of Sky Silvestry, and back to 42...Yes, that's one of my favourite dream sequences, one of those things that happen while you write it, rather than planning it beforehand

I'm so disappointed to see that the link to this story has broken! Is it anywhere else?

[kerravonsen]

I've fixed it now. Go! Enjoy!
