Okay, I bloody LOVE you.
You're very smart, combining the two plots. Gives us Martha Jones and family of blood without just reusing the plots from the episode. Very interesting.
Also, I loved the bit of Rose whump.
And the names were fun.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE write more in this series, and soon. It's my favorite EVER.
Thank you so much for writing this story.
I'm so sad that it's finished, but it's a wonderful story with a fabulous ending! I can't wait to read what you come up with next! (Hint, hint! :D ) (Also, sorry for not reviewing earlier. I was out of town and had to read the last few chapters on my phone in the airport!)
Magnificent ending! And thanks for the reveal about the rest of the names. :-D
Author's Response: You\'re welcome and thanks for reviewing. :)
Yay all around!
Author's Response: Thanks.
Ah, poor Martha. Brilliant of her though! Gnawing my nails in anticipation of the next chapter. (I had noticed but forgotten Dr. Davrill. I haven't caught any others though. Well, unless you count "Smith," but that'd be pushing it, all things considered. *g*)
Author's Response: I think I\'ll reveal them all here, just for fun.
Chapter 7 has Mr. Davies and Mr. Moffat, the two NewWho producer/writers.
Chapter 10 has Mrs. Kingston (as in Alex Kingston, River Song) and Miss Sladen (as in Elizabeth Sladen, Sarah Jane Smith)
Chapter 11 has Dr. Darvill (as in Arthur Darvill, Rory Williams), Mrs. Aldred (as in Sophie Aldred, Ace McShane), and Ms. Gillan (as in Karen Gillan, Amy Pond).
All other named not-main characters (Swales, Morgenstern, etc) were all in the original episode.
Poor Martha! She was really worried about jack. One left. Exciting chapter.
Author's Response: It\'s a bit hard to get your head wrapped around the whole doesn\'t-die-but-can-die thing the first time, I think. Especially when you\'re not quite adjusted to the Doctor\'s lifestyle.
Oh, how I love Jack! Well done, can't wait to see what happens with the hospital!
Author's Response: Jack is full of awesomeness. \'Nuff said.
I just love it when he doesn't have a plan! :D
Author's Response: Me too! =D
Jack! Rose! Yeep! I'm on tenterhooks! (I'm also wondering if all the hospital patients will get to say, all together upon entering the TARDIS, "It's bigger on the inside!") Awesome chapter!
Author's Response: Don\'t worry, even if they don\'t say it, they\'re definitely thinking it.
LOL @ Nurse Gillan. Love those little touches. But oh my, that cliffie is not good at all. *chews nails*
Author's Response: Yep, Gillan the nurse and Darvill the doctor. Couldn\'t help myself. Notice any other actor names scattered throughout the story?
Oh no! This isn't good!
Author's Response: Indeed.
Ooh, yes, Martha still gets to be brilliant! Still loving this!
Author's Response: Well, Martha was pretty brilliant.
I know I keep saying it, but this is such a brilliant rewrite. You do the voices of all the characters so well, I swear I can practically watch the entire thing in my head as I read. (Did that make sense?) The Doctor rambles without sounding like an idiot or a lunatic. Jack is dashing without being a complete sex maniac. Rose is clever and strong and awesome without being...well, any of the horrible tropes that are usually inflicted on her character. And Martha is brilliant with the side benefit of not being depressingly in love with the Doctor. Absolutely wonderful!
Author's Response: Thank you so much!
As far as saving the world goes, that sounds like more fun than bowling in one's pajamas! ;)
Author's Response: Naturally. ;)
Yum... snogs... good!
Author's Response: Gotta love a good genetic transfer, right?
