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?

As far as fic-writing goes, I've always had a much easier time writing in the present or future. In other words, writing in the context of currently airing canon or what will take place after that canon. It's not as natural for me to write something in the past, unless I've got a very specific plot bunny that's popped into my head. I wonder if it's the same for other writers.

And as far as Nine/Rose writing still going strong, I think that for some people Nine/Rose will always outweigh Ten/Rose (or even Ten II/Rose) - that's really more their ship, and so that's what they're writing.

I've seen several people doing a rewatch of DW, and so maybe we'll be seeing some more Ten/Rose fics popping up soon with people's mindsets back in S2.
