Hahahaha, ginger! I love it! =D!

“I’ll have a ginger ale,” you say. --> "." instead of ","?

[ibishtar]

Ah, the spoilery icon! It burns!

[kesshin_shinobu]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it, rita15keke. But I must second that cry of despair in regards to your icon, happy though it makes me.

[rita15keke]

If I knew how to change it I would. O_O! Sorry!

[hollywoodgrrl]

This is just BEYOND phenomenal. This is pure brilliance. I adore you just a little too much right now.

[kesshin_shinobu]

Aw. *blushes and looks at the ground* I'm quite glad you like it. That has to be one of the nicest reviews I've ever had the honor of receiving. Thank you.

You tempt me.

Ms doesn't have a period after- well, not the way I was taught.

A bit more than a drabble, but still disappointingly short. (Also, interesting parallel at the end to the end of "Rose". Erm- am I being obvious again?)

*dodges homework and IBness and writing and heads to bed, for once*

[kesshin_shinobu]

Bwah ha! *grins evilly* That's right, Rose! Don't bother with your IB work! Stay up waaaay past your bedtime reading fanfiction! Or writing fanfiction. That's even better.
Yeah, I suppose the ending was a bit similar to "Rose", what with Donna thinking, 'Should I really go with this crazy man?' and the Doctor's sort-of-asking-twice: "Did I mention..."
Hopefully I pulled off the parallel okay without being too in-your-face about it.
Tsk. Canadians. I don't know how things go up there, missy, but here in the Deep South we put a period after "Ms"! Fie on you and your Northern spelling! *kidding- REALLY kidding* Seriously, though. That's how American's punctuate it. Unless... >_> *peers around* English AP's been brainwashing me this whole time. I wouldn't put it past my teacher. -_-

right. Feeling a bit woozy here, apologies. (I hate Career And Life Management. And this assignment's due, online, in 20 minutes. Meh.)

You know, if I *could* stay up just reading/writing/thinking about fanfiction, I might be happier instead of this pre-Spring Break stress induced lethargic-ness.
But they're thinking (behind my back) of putting me in a math remedial course over the summer, which feels like a vast betrayal because a) I'm in math IB, and no one's kicked me out yet b) I'm maintaining an honours average, even just, and I know it sounds like immense rationalization but everyone knows you need therapy after IB c)I understand the concepts. I actually do. I can sort of tutor. I just need more sleep, dammit

That was great! Really lovely. However, in this sentence: "He felt like being drunk in the best way", isn't it supposed to be "she", or am I missing something?

[kesshin_shinobu]

Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you liked it. :D
Hmm. I guess I was a bit unclear there... What I meant was that, for Donna, being around the Doctor feels a bit like being pleasantly drunk. *squints* I'll have to think about editing that...

Lovely! Oh I love Donna. I'm so excited to see her story play out.
I'm not sure why, but whenever I think of her walking in the dust, I imagine she'd visit Egypt too.
Also, don't know if this is of any interest, but in England we're more likely to say 'pavement' for 'sidewalk' and 'air hostess' for 'stewardess'.
