I know that Martha is very cool and even if the show seemed to catch her at all the wrong moments, you caught her at the right ones, here.
Martha's actually really growing on me. I mean, I still feel like she gets stuck with some of the worst lines, but I'm starting to find that endearing. *pets her*

I'm not a big Martha fan, but I think I would like her a lot more if we know more about what happened to her in that year.
Very good XD

Yeah, I would have loved to have a bit more of a glimpse at what that must have been like for her.
Very good XD
Thanks!

Anyway.
THIS is what it's all about. MARTHA BEING AWESOME, the Doctor not mattering, it being TOTALLY okay that he didn't return her affections because Martha, in that year, finally realized that SHE NEEDS AND DESERVES MORE.
This is the Martha I could have loved. This is the Martha I wish they'd written. And I've never written it because of all the bad Rose-Martha feelings in fandom ... but you wrote it, and it was brave and wonderful and awesome and <3333 *cuddles Martha*
But one last thing is that you should maybe change "nope" to "hope" because when they said "Martha Jones, you gave us nope" that made me think she'd given them nothing and they were angry. *_*

You know, the same thought vaguely occurred to me and then I shrugged and wrote it anyway. I don't even think it's Martha fans that are scary. It's just the people who hate Rose that I find scary. :D

Yeah, I kind of feel like that MUST have happened during that year - or, in the very least, Martha would have had plenty of time to think. It was probably hell. The bravest thing Martha did was survive that year and STILL manage to say good things about the Doctor.

This is the Martha I could have sympathized with, and I wish I had seen more of her, because I've tried so hard to like her. But we got too few of these moments and way too many of her less than graceful bits.
Making this my personal canon will go a long way towards me understanding her in S3. Thank you.

Yeah, every time I think about how we missed ALL HER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, I get all tetchy. There would have been so many things to play around with during that year.

Thank you! Writing this definitely helped me get a better sense of who she was.
