Hullo! Let's go with your reading habits: What do you prefer to read in Doctor/Rose FF - Favorite genre? favorite episode? favorite Doctor? favorite clichés? favorite tropes? favorite side character? favorite side pairing? Longer or shorter fic? What turn you off when reading a summary? What can make you stop reading a fic? Canon or not? ...
Oh boy, you have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself intowith these questions. Ha. But really. I have to admit that I’ve only been reading DW fanfic (and fanfic ingeneral) since last summer (2014) sometime. I have no recollection of how I found it or the initial fanfic I read,but I was unemployed and celebrating being done with one phase of my schooling,soooooo………
(I put a cut in, because it’s really long.)
Favorite genre:This is such a hard question, because I really love all ofit. The romance, the angst, the fluff,the reunion fic, everything. When Ifirst started reading fanfic I had a hard time with angst, because hello, Ijust want happy times with these two idiots together. However, I’ve recently come to appreciate thebrilliance of well written angst as long as there is a reason for it AND it ends well.
Favorite episode:Well,hmmmmm. I recently read a gorgeous storypost-Dalek with Nine and Rose. And Ithink my favorite episodes with Ten x Rose would be after The Idiot’s Lanternor The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit. Unless it’s an actual rewrite, I tend toprefer post-episode stories when they deal with the aftermath of whateverhappened. There was this one post-Age ofSteel one-shot by lauraxxtennant that I found so beautiful. Maybe I just like the peace and healing andmoving forward (preferably with lips touching) after the chaos. Ref: post-Dalek (Radiance inthe Dark by CuratioLethe)Ref: post-Age of Steel (above the cold sky shoneby lauraxxtennant)
Favorite Doctor:Rude. OK, so I adorethe Tenth Doctor and Rose. Long-term, Ilove them together, and they will always be my ultimate OTP. But let me tell you, I have a huge weaknessfor the Ninth Doctor. When Nine iswritten well, there is something just magical about his character, and heoffers such a searing and beautiful interaction with Rose that gives theirrelationship this raw quality that I just never/rarely feel with the TenthDoctor.
Favorite clichés:I’m not sure if this is in Classic Who (still haven’twatched it, but it’s on my “to do” list for this year), or if it’s only canonbecause of the Eleventh Doctor and River during their [insert: blatant use ofquotation fingers] “handfasting” non-wedding, but I do love me some handfastingand telepathic bonding. I’m not sure ifthat classifies as a cliché, but whatever. Gimmie. (Just not with the Doctorand River, if I haven’t made my opinions on THATclear enough.)
Favorite tropes:Fake married, definitely. Oooooooh, and body swap is fun, especially when written byrointheta. Ref: Two Weeksby rointheta
Favorite side character:THE TARDIS. I adorethe TARDIS when she plays matchmaker, plays jokes on the Doctor, or gets up tomischievous things. Definitely theTARDIS. (Human wise, I love a well written Jackie and/or Donna. Oh, and Jack.)
Favorite side pairing:I actually enjoy Amy and Rory together in fanfic when theyare presented outside of Moffat regulated Doctor Who.
Longer or shorter fic:This is really dependent on my RL situation when I havetime to read fanfic. Ultimately, I lovea long fanfic. A longer fanfic gives thereader a significant plot, time for ample character development, and hopefullysome good plot twists. However, longfanfic also requires more time to read. Lately I’ve been enjoying some shorter fanfic, either one shots or shortmulti chapter stories, because school has been stressful, and I don’t reallyhave the time to get sucked into an epic tale. (Or I’ve been rereading favorites I’ve already read multiple times toshare on my fanfic blog.)
What turns you off when reading a summary?:There have been a FEW exceptions to the rule, but I generally don’t read OT3 couplings and Rose or the Doctor with anyone but each other. Also on the no-no list is Tentoo prematurelydying in Pete’s World, and I also tread cautiously with non-consituations. ~exceptions to the rule~Before itBreaks by resileStuck with You/With orWithout You by gallifreyslostson and larxenthefirefly (I haven’t even seen The Thick of It…honestly…I mean, Idon’t even know what happened here.)
What can make you stop reading a fic?:Out of character writing, especially with dialogue. I was reading a story a few weeks ago, and Istopped reading during the smut, because it was just…so…weird. And it was all in the dialogue. I’m sure there’s been more, but that’s whatstopped me most recently.
Canon or not?:Whatever, honestly!! I love agood AU fic. I don’t mind canon, either,as long as the writer is nice to Tentoo. But really, I’m most happy with some good canon diversion and either noDoomsday or post-Doomsday reunion and eventual happily ever after. OH! Ialso have a weakness for season rewrites with Rose (a.k.a. Written in the Starsby gallifreyslostson and TheStarlight Verse by wintermoth). Ref: WitS >>> The Wolfand the Thief; Howlingwith the Storm; TheImportance of Shields; Just a BitUnlikely by gallifreyslostson/whoson1st
I'm looking for a oneshot I probably read about 6 months or so ago, most likely on teaspoon (or tumblr?) but I'm not sure if it was new then or not. Nine is in a marketplace and stumbles across a little girl he knows is his daughter as she has Time Lord eyes. I believe she's at a stand that sells glass trinkets and there is a glimpse of Rose at the end. Because the little girl doesn't recognize him I think he knows he regenerates. That's what I remember but hopefully it's enough...

curatiolethe replied to your post “thiswandcouldbealittlemoresonic replied to your post “badwolfrun...”
Seeing this makes me wanna do one too! But I don't have nearly as many followers, so I'm not sure I would get enough questions.
you should do it! you don't have to have a ton of followers or anything, bee. you just keep asking for questions until you have like 15-20 and that's plenty (my videos get long because i can't give short answers to anything)
curatiolethe replied to your post “curatiolethe replied to your post “badwolfrun answered your question...”
Hee! I love that reaction gif! I've been alright, just some stupid personal things, but overall well. Right now, I'm feeling a little under the weather, which absolutely stinks because I miss you and have the strong urge to talk to you =( and you???
it's a good one! i saw your post about just getting home and then your sick nephew and *cuddles* i'm sorry, that really sucks! plus you're feeling under the weather and alone time would have been fantastic for you!
but you know i'm always here to talk whenever you want! :D i'm just kinda chilling in the apartment alone and drinking beer because that's apparently how i choose to spend my saturday nights (which i'm fine with tbh) so i'm doing pretty well right now!
curatiolethe replied to your post “Watermelon”
You're so mature, and handled that with such grace, Kelsey dear! ^^
awww thanks bee. i just don't want someone to follow me if they're not enjoying it, i don't see the point! i just want people to be happy :) (that sounds so sappy omg, but it's true)
