THIS IS AMAZING. Love all the post-it notes and ticket stubs, etc. Also the way so many of her notes to him in Pete's World mirror notes he gave her back when they were on the TARDIS. I'm really curious to know what the spacesuit note said.

This is just a work of art. I love it.

[zazie11]

Thank you so much for the wonderful, wonderful comment!

I'm glad you noticed the way the later notes mirrored back - that was definitely intentional. :D

Originally, I was going to post Rose's letter for the WoM bit (which I did make), instead of producing it folded. I definitely went for the ouch-factor ... but I think, in the end, it works better keeping it a mystery.

If you'd really like to see it, I could send it to you in a private message, though. Lemme know. :)

[captaintish]

Ooh yes, I'd love to see it!

[_thirty2flavors]

I would totally love to see it as well!

OH MY GOD. TOTALLY CRYING NOW.

This was...so far beyond epic. So beautiful and them and...gafhlkghlkf what font did you use for the Doctor's handwriting because I WANTS IT PRECIOUS.

Zazie darling you have far outdone yourself with this. It's just so incredible.

*bows*

[zazie11]

Yipeeee!! Happy Dance!! I'm so glad you liked it, bb. xD xD xD

Thank you for the wonderful prompt - the thought of it kept making me want to go bigger with this.

I'm glad you liked the Doctor's handwriting! I tested out a bunch of the to find one that felt right. His script had to be old-fashioned, old-school quality cursive, and a bit loopy. It was a little difficult finding one that wasn't so loopy that it became illegible something small, like a movie ticket stub.

I found both fonts at this fantastic free font site, called dafont.com. Here's a link to the Doctor's handwriting, called "Jellyka Saint-Andrew's Queen" :

You are a darling, Darling. xo

[sapphire_child]

It's just such a perfect, beautiful script. Love dafont! I get tons of my stuff from there too :D

You are the darling. *squishy hugs*

[zazie11]

Color me squished!

Mwuah! xx
:D

Beautiful! I'm here on a fic rec and it was absolutely worth it!

Fantastic!

[zazie11]

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my fic - I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :D

[psyfi_geekgirl]

Ohhhh, yaaaaay!

So much love for this.

You minx, you teased me for weeks with this-and the bar coaster’s still fab-and you did not disappoint. Who needs to tell whom about hitting it outta the park??

BLAMMO, Baby!

As I said before, the ye olde prim schoolmarm/headmaster script is a perfect match for our 900+ year-old Timelord-and the pre-JE/post-JE is a wonderfully subtle approach to allude to the Evolution of Rose!

But the way the post-JE notes mirror the pre-JE ones really showcases this evolution-so you’re working a few levels, m’dear (and I loves me some levels!!!): Wandering off, the Polaroid of the view, and then there’s the movie reward for not blowing up THE TOASTER!!! AHHH, YOU DID IT-YOU WENT OVER TO THE DARK SIDE!!! See?? Wicked easy way to shorthand, right?

I love, love, LOVE that she gives him a key to the Airstream and does not have to ask twice. I love the note on the pic of said Airstream that it is “smaller on the inside,” I LOLed at the pic of the two of them (ridiculously attractive consort, indeed! ;), and

[zazie11]

Now that I'm caught up with all my comments for you (I hate getting behind, though it seems I inevitably am), I can come back here and do my own answering! ;)

BLAMMO, Baby!

Thank you for that. :D I'm glad the bar coaster held up ... and I hoped you wouldn't think it was all downhill from there! ;)

I'm glad you liked the little details, like the handwriting, and saw the parallels/evolution of their relationship through the notes. Like you, I'm all about levels, bb!

... and then there’s the movie reward for not blowing up THE TOASTER!!! AHHH, YOU DID IT-YOU WENT OVER TO THE DARK SIDE!!!

bahahaha! I made that one SPECIFICALLY as a wink to you and my beta, Kilodalton (who has also been a victim to my toaster-rant, on more than one occasion). You'll note that the movie tickets were a reward for NOT blowing up the toaster ... :D That the tix were for HP - well, consider yourself double-winked

"Queen of the Picture Fic?" Oh, Yay! Do I get a crown, or some sort of elaborate sash? You know I love the details ...

OF COURSE YOU DO!! And since you are the Queen of Multi-media/Photo Fics, I thought this would suit you and your new station nicely:

[zazie11]

HOLY CANNOLI!

YES AND YES!

I'll feel like the prettiest wood-sprite/picture-ficcer, evah! Sporty Goodfellow, is that you? :D

I like the crown tat - it could be a solution for making those pangs less ... pang-y. ;)

Woah - the full-body tattoo! Gorgeous, but can you imagine?

Thanks for all of these, Sweetness! :D :D :D

Oh my gosh this was so amazing! I love the way it was put together with the manipulated images. It must have taken quite a while. I would really love to know what it was Rose wrote to the Doctor on Krop Tor. It was a nice twist on his actions in WOM. Good job, I commend you!

[zazie11]

Getting the sizing right took more time than anything else ... the rest was fun to research and make up as I went along. :D

I'm glad you like the twist on WoM ... I know it's a bit cruel to do to our poor Ten, but once I had the idea, I couldn't not do it.

Thank you so much!

:D
