I just want to tell you that I always, always enjoy and appreciate your comments. I'm sometimes really, really bad at replying to people, so I'd never want you to think I ignore what you have to say, but sometimes I just don't get around to replying.
And I appreciate your encouragement so very much! You've inspired such a huge smile from me, and I'm so very, very pleased that you like my fic and especially that you feel that it's worth rereading! I appreciate your kind words more than I can say!
I forgot to turn in my office pool this year so I won't be winning anything either, but hey--it's the campaigning that's the most fun!
My issues with Ten are with how he treats Martha and Donna. He never appreciated Martha enough (probably because he was worrying over Rose too much), but I could have forgiven that. I have profound issues with what the show did with Donna at the end--erasing her memories and taking away everything she worked so hard for. Most of my anger is directed at Russel T. Davies and I won't ever forgive him for stealing her choices and her character growth from her. But I also resent Ten because she begged him not to take her memories--she would have preferred to die instead--and he did it anyways. Because of watching my grandmama's struggles with Alzheimer's, there is nothing more horrific that I can imagine than having your memories altered, especially against your expressed wishes.
So my issues with him are profoundly personal, and I understand if it doesn't ruin other people's enjoyment of him (and I still adore David Tennant and his wonderful face), but it's tainted something for me.

If that all makes sense.
