The Virtues (and vices) of Fanfiction
In a world where "Anna Karenina" is a neurosurgeon, Fanfiction is the "drunk homeless guy who hangs outside of the ER" (thank you for the quote, +Rick Wayne).

To all of my "Doctor's Reward"' fans:
I am sorry - I'm so sorry - but I'm going to put "The Doctor's Reward" on the shelf for a little while.

I just do not have the time to write anymore Fan Fiction and do it justice. It would be worthless crap, and ( Read more... ) -

More time for Rose, Jack and the Doctor to adapt to one another. The introduction of some plotty stuff, but lots and lots more to come! Look out for a cameo dedicated to tkross, one of my wonderful reviewers over at Teaspoon. Want a cameo? Let me know!
Chapter 3: Interference
( The Doctor's hearts skipped a beat, and he turned quickly to face Jack, reaching out a hand to pull him up from the couch. ) -
