I am confused.

I get, to a certain extent, why Doctor/Rose fandom is all over Ten II right now. He’s new, and shiny, and the possibilities are practically endless. I don’t have a problem with that. It’s very much not my ship, for various reasons, but I’m dealing.

So now we have Ten II/Rose which is really popular, and Nine/Rose which is also very popular. Both of these things are fine.

What I’m confused about mainly, and what is making Doctor/Rose fandom hard for me right now, is why nobody seems to be giving Ten (or Ten/Rose, from what I’ve seen lately) much love any more.

Without Ten there would be no Ten II, so why no Ten love?

I dunno, because if I had to describe how Handy-Spare-Hand!Ten fits into my canon, it would have to be like a pair of shoes that is just that one size too big ... It's been months now, and I'm still resentful that Rose has been exiled again, and while I see the wisdom of this situation and how everyone 'wins' (WHAT ABOUT TEN?! WHAT DOES HE WIN?!) I don't have to like it.

Human is boring. Human is ordinary, and I can only read so many this-is-how-humans-do-it fics, you know?

So, I am with you. I'm not much into writing DW fanfic (only have one under my belt for a fic exchange) but I miss my D/R pre-JE fiction. Sad times.
