I'll take that as a vote of approval, then. Thanks. (Pats self on back, blows own horn, etc., etc.)

THis was brilliant!

And the legend of the two eggs was made up by Gaiman. But as you said this is fanfic!

Thanks!

This was really nice! I liked the different perspectives, you really captured everyone's voices very well. I loved Donna's part, especially the fact that she actually calls Handy Handy, and that she thinks of him as the Donna-Doctor. Fabulous!

One little typography nitpick. When you want to stress a word, you're putting asterisks around it as well as italicizing (like *this*), which is totally not necessary, since *this* is usually used when this can't be. I would say go with just the italics, because having both is a little redundant. I found they were distracting me from your very awesome story. (I would save a version of the story with the asterisks and without the italics, in case you need to post it somewhere that doesn't allow HTML.)

I really enjoyed this story! Great title, too. It took me a second to get the joke. Love that!

Thank you. A troll told me "Handy" should never be used within a fanfic, so I had to do it. And after all, if she'll call him Martian Boy ...

I was using the asterisks and italics because sometimes I like to put stuff onto my Kindle to read offline, and I have to convert it into a text file. But I don't know how many other people do that, and if it's distracting I'll take the asterisks out. Thanks for telling me.

You go tall the perspectives in nicely. I like the title (Rivers in Egypt) but as I'm a sucker for Gaiman, the phoenix egg thing is cool, too.
