I have developed a love for fleshing out certain elements of early episodes, and after reading this I feel as though you're a kindred spirit in that respect. This was wonderful; thank you so much for sharing it.
I have wondered about what Barbara and Ian thought about the Doctor leaving Susan behind. This was a believable take on it, and you captured the characters' voices very well.
Yes - I understand dramatically why that leaving scene had to be just between the Doctor and Susan. But of course it would affect Ian and Barbara too.
Really good, lump-in-the-throat stuff. I could hear Ian and Barbara's voices as I read this.
Enjoyed it very much, love 1st doctor, Ian and Barbara stories. Hope to see some more of this one
Excellent job. I thought you conveyed the characters and emotions of Ian and Barbara very well. I really enjoyed your exploration of what was undoubtedly a heartwrenching experience for all three of them.
