I'm glad you liked the ending. It was pretty much the entire purpose of the piece and somewhere in the middle where Amy kept getting side-tracked, I was getting as frustrated as the Doctor. I might've even been grumbling to my netbook, "Oh, come on already!" Still, it was fun to write and I'm glad you enjoyed it a bit.
somewhere in the middle where Amy kept getting side-tracked, I was getting as frustrated as the Doctor The frustration was great, really made the ending work! I loved that Amy and the Doctor are about as easily side-tracked! :) (I also loved all the fan theories and nods to canon you included.)
I'm glad you enjoyed it a bit. I definitely enjoyed it more than a bit. ;)
As much as I relish the endless squeeing positivity of LJ (and I do), it's at moments like this that I wish everybody would just reign themselves in a little bit, because nothing I could say here is going to get interpreted with the level of sincerity it deserves.
It's silly to propose to someone over crackfic anyway.
Wow, I don't think a reply without any exclamation marks has ever made me smile so much. I'm so happy you enjoyed this.
(P.S. I totally had about a paragraph here talking about lobster badgers, cracks in walls, and Sherlock . . . But I know for a fact I am extremely overtired and slightly medicated for pain. I erased it before you had to endure it. You're welcome.)
Eh, I am inherently suspicious of exclamation marks and disinclined to use them, but one must adapt oneself to the local mode of expression ;-)
But, yes, I enjoyed this immensely. My internal reaction was something along the lines of SHE WRITES CRACK TOO??!?!?!?? <33333333333. And intelligent crack, not mindless crack. (My love of crack is a very real thing, not just something I pay lip service to. But it must be done correctly.)
I think I am going to have to give the Doctor a gardening habit, now, so that he can have something different to do in my fics /embarrassed

I really love well-done crack, as well. And I'm thrilled that you thought this was well-done and enjoyed it. Are you at all in the Sherlock fandom? Because I just read a MARVELOUS crackfic from the POV of Mycroft's umbrella
( ... )
"Oh," he said. "Well, that's rather anti-climactic." Ha! You know, this wouldn't surprise me at all. *g* And of COURSE the TARDIS went boom. Brilliant.
Also all the stuff with the Rani and Jack made me chuckle a lot. Good job! :)
*reading, snicker, giggle, laugh, squee, gets to last line*
"What the fu-"
*re-reads last four lines, mind blown*
"How was this a crackfic? It was too good!"
In other words: this was frakking AWESOME! The inclusion of all the fan theories was genius, plus Amy finding out on GOOGLE! Reminded me of the end of "Death of The Doctor" when Sarah Jane was like, "Yeah, I just searched for all his old companions online and blah, blah, blah...happily ever after." And, you know, all the other stuff about The Doctor online. lol Really, though, the best part was when Amy told him. The true brilliance here is that you made this anti-climatic as both a plot point and literally for the reader. It's so cool I can barely wrap my head around it! And then just when we thought we couldn't be more anti-climatically surprised, the TARDIS goes boom. Along with my brain.
Hahaha! I love your reaction. Of course, when I was writing the ending, the great reveal, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I could possibly make River be. I knew I couldn't come up with anything brilliantly original and funny. So I said to myself, "Anything I write will be anti-climactic." Cue the "Oh" from The Time of Angels.
I'm really happy you like the Google bit, I've always found it a little bit ridiculous that the internet/search engine has been used before to track down the Doctor and/or his companions. I mean, really? He has to realize. For someone who can be so narcissistic, I'm surprised he doesn't Google himself once in a while.
So happy you liked this. Thanks for letting me know.

I mean, it doesn't even have a title.
