That introduction in Silence in the Library to the idea of the Doctor as a God...is so out of touch with the sensitivities of the Old School Doctor, particularly Four, who said, "I would make a very bad god." that it boggles my mind.
THIS! This is when I became nervous with SM taking over, and that thought has never left me. Quite honestly, the show still has the story telling bones, but it tends to get lost in SM's version of things. His ego takes away from the characters, and it just comes across as the Moff show. I feel as though he is thumbing his nose at the long standing fans and the subculture, so he can be remembered for...what? Rebooting the show and force feeding his say so to viewers? Bleh. That's pure ego not originality. He tells us River is the perfect woman for the Doctor, but he doesn't do anything to convince the audience except shroud her in mystery and innuendo. How is that perfect for anyone? He marries them hurriedly and expects the audience to accept that as real love. Give me something more tangible so I can believe. I saw what could have been a brilliant character (River) and made her into a suggestion (and eventual fact) while removing the freedom of choice from the Doctor. He had to marry her right then and there or else all hell would break loose because she loved him.
RTD never did that... Hell, we never even got the words onscreen, but we never really needed them, did we? He showed us instead.
*exits soap box*
I've always had a bit of a lag between chapters. Not as long as this story has had...but it is possible to overlook my fic, I think.
BTW, your writing is brilliant and definitely not forgettable! Disheveled, anyone? Vintage 2008! Like I said previously, this is a go to fic rec for most fandom folks. :)
