First, thank you so much for such a long, lovely comment. Your English is very good, don't worry. And even if it was quite bad, I would be happy to hear from you. I was beginning to think this story wasn't working for people. Not that THAT would stop me, but it does make me happy when someone likes it.
Second, I totally understand the difficulty leaving phone comments. I have a netbook and I care barely type on it. I don't even both with phone texting. It would be gibberish, I'm sure. :GRIN:
Rose's pregnancy and God, I'm glad you decided to do something like this again. I think we didn't get enough of Rose and Ten freaking out because, hey, they're going to be parents. In that storyline, things happened in a way that her pregnancy had to be over soon,
See? I felt much the same, I wanted to show you all my alien Doctor view on children and child rearing. I had no interest in the usual squishy baby story. Instead, I wanted to explore all of the things about family that we take for granted and the Doctor might view differently.
So I wrote What Wild Geese Know to set up a scary pregnancy story, not unlike this one. But, as we know, Journey's End happened, and I lost all heart for the sequel, because I couldn't make them all happy and light following up on that. So, it took me a bit of time, and some help from Moff, to reconcile myself to what happened in JE and End of Time. But finally, I found a way to work it all out, quickly and get on with the story.
As for the snapping at one another, well, that's how I think relationships work, and certainly, if we look at episodes like School Reunion or Father's Day, we can see that the Doctor and Rose did fight about things. They mostly get along very well, because they understand one another, at a spiritual level. But I think it is naive to think they would never have clashes. And power struggles, now that Rose has been a single woman on her own, handling issues that the Doctor used to help her handle.
I also feel that she will have a desire to return to the happy, carefree days of her youth. So, she will need to come to grips with the loss of her childhood in a way. But, I feel she and the Doctor have a strong enough genuine love and respect to overcome their differences. Jackie will stay a part of this story, because Rose does, in my opinion, need to assert her humanity. And Jackie helps her do that.
As for the other Doctors that Rose found...I will be referencing them again. I hope to explore one of the encounters in a flashback of some depth. The other might not get a full exploration.
Thank you so much for your compliments and the love for Disheveled. I very much would enjoy reading your reactions to the various chapters. I like to hear from people in other cultures, because my work is influenced by my culture and, of course, the one I imagine the Doctor used to live in and some of Merry Ol' England, too. And, feedback let's me know what questions the readers have with the work. Sometimes a scene will be clear to me and, yet, not obvious to others.
