I agree with someone up there who mentioned canon. That Ten/Rose is either in the past or it's AU or it's TenII/Rose.
I'm currently writing both Ten and Ten II (separate stories). I'm not giving up on ever writing Ten again. But everything I write will be either during S2, or it will be Ten on his own.
Because I'm a writer that tends to defer to canon. I like my fic to fit it.
And since Doctor/Rose is my ship, the place that ship lives is with Ten II in Pete's world. I don't love II because he's new and shiny, I love him because he's the Doctor. And if I want to write about a future for the Doctor and Rose, I'm writing it with Ten II. Doesn't mean I don't love Ten, all lonely in the 'real' world.
It's not in any way disloyal or something to Ten to like Ten II or ship him with Rose. I love Ten, I'll always love Ten. But sorry, I love Ten II just as much. He is the same man. Insofar as how I feel about the character.
