I'm not quite sure who the other 'him' is, but the pain in this is very obvious.

I must admit even I'm not sure who it's supposed to be; no one canon, anyway. This sort of wrote itself and I went along with it. *sheepish smile*

Ah, fair enough. I wasn't sure if I was missing that bit of information or something.

Not a problem, that's probably my fault.

Poor Doctor!! *sob*
Lovely, but too sad.

adriana_divolpe August 14 2010, 17:44:46 UTC

Thanks for commenting, and sorry it's too sad. *hugs* I like sad sometimes.

Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! It really makes my day today. :D

Hmm, that rhyming there was completely unintentional, but the poetry feel more or less was intentional. Poetry was my first love, and while I haven't written much of it lately, it still seems to leak through into some of my prose; usually the short things where I was trying more to convey an emotion than a story. And I must admit that my favourite fics by other people are often written in a somewhat poetic style as well, so it's definitely something I admire and am consciously trying to emulate and get better at.

Long reply is long! Anyway, thank you so much, your comment really means a lot to me. And I almost would have liked to see her leave this way in the series as well, though I do love the mindwipe angst, in the same way that I like movies that make me cry, and all the lovely fics it has produced.

Meep. Very powerful stuff, *sniffle*

adriana_divolpe August 31 2010, 19:05:59 UTC

Aww, thank you. I'm sorry I made you sniffle. *hands you a tissue*

Well written (poor ten, sniff) but gosh golly,

[STAMPS foot on ground, folds arms over chest] She told HIM forever, not the other guy!! I'm gonna hold my breath 'til she keeps her promise! (Insert pouty face here.)

adriana_divolpe September 26 2010, 19:42:00 UTC

Ha ha ha, I KNOW, eh?? I don't even know what prompted me to write this, because it's just cruel, isn't it? Makes Donna look like a total liar! I'm mean!

canterlevi September 26 2010, 19:53:00 UTC

She was a complete wench! Poor Ten - oh well, all the better to angst you with, my dear!

I'm glad you saw my tongue in my cheek. Sometimes what I mean (my 'tone of voice') doesn't carry over in typing, but I'm glad this time it did. ;-)

adriana_divolpe September 26 2010, 22:58:37 UTC

It did indeed, fear not. ;)
