abuseOk, so I was so shocked when I saw how many reviews this story had, but now I have read it, I completely understand.

In fact, you deserve more!

It's so brillient, and you have managed to keep them in character the whole time.

I'm just completly amazed by this story, superb.

Without a doubt the best 10/rose fic I have ever EVER read! Well done!

abuseThe last three chapters are bonus..LOL
"Couldn't expect Rose and Timothy to stop the hatching by themselves. Granted, Timothy was a good shot, but Rose was rubbish with a bow."

abuseNow i see what the 500+ reviews were for. Fantastic Rose,Lovable Doctor, and Jealous Martha...Brillant!
LOL..."It's alright, Mum will just think some alien showed up and I ran off with him"
Ooh and i love this bit too:

"Rose Tyler, I love you." Grinning, Rose let her tongue slid between her teeth,
"Quite right too." The Doctor blinked at her in shock and then frowned, which only made her smile more.
"That was rude," he said grabbing her hand and pulling her back into his arms.
Not sure what you'll do with the next 3 chapters..but i can't wait..so off i go.

abuseI'm thrilled to have found this fic and love it so far. I know it's already finished, but I thought I'd throw this out there for your next project. You keep breaking your paragraphs in the wrong spots when writing dialogue. For example, you have:
-
A similar smile lit up his face and he chuckled, "Sorry if I startled you." Rose shook her head and assured him softly,
"I was just lost in my thoughts John," she sighed, "I've got a lot on my mind right now." John's smile faded, replaced with concern,
"Anything I can help with?" Shaking her head Rose smiled,
"No but thank you for caring." He nodded awkwardly,
"Of course, uh, are you returning to the school?" At Rose's nod he added, "Then please allow me to escort you." Grinning Rose nodded,
"I'd welcome it."
-

This should read as follows:
-
A similar smile lit up his face and he chuckled, "Sorry if I startled you."

Rose shook her head and assured him softly, "I was just lost in my thoughts John," she sighed "I've got a lot on my mind right now."

John's smile faded, replaced with concern. "Anything I can help with?"

Shaking her head Rose smiled, "No but thank you for caring."

He nodded awkwardly. "Of course, uh, are you returning to the school?" At Rose's nod he added, "Then please allow me to escort you."

Grinning Rose nodded, "I'd welcome it."

I guess the gist is that you are supposed to start a new paragraph when a new person speaks, but you start the paragraph with the sentence where the new person's dialogue is introduced. Right now you are splitting sentences to start with the actual dialogue, and that's not right.

Anyway, sorry for being a grammar freak, but it makes it hard to follow who's speaking the way you have it. And I love this so much.

abuseAn entirely excellent fiction. I wonder will you be writting some sort of sequel or continuation?

abuseWhoosh!

This was sure a wild ride. I had to read it in two sittings (or I was going to get *no* sleep before work), but it was brilliant fun. "Blink" is one of my favourite episodes from series three, and the idea that the Weeping Angels could bring Rose back thanks to the Bad Wolf's planning was awesome. I love how you reworked "Human Nature" and "Family of Blood", especially with all the fun in the library and the hints that it would have been Joan/John, so Martha couldn't just blame Rose for what happened...

I thought you made both Rose and Martha believable in their interaction with one another--not too perfect, but good people in the end, and I thought it was great that Timothy came along in your version of events. Rose's ability to soothe the Doctor and make him more merciful was very moving.

I'm so glad that the Doctor finally made the right choice where Rose is concerned, and I'm very much looking forward to the sequel ^_^

abuseI've spent the last two days reading through this story because I need to find some way of channelling my excitement about the start of season four and fanfiction seems like the best approach! And I have to say that it's been brilliant! I loved the way you handled Rose and Martha's relationship and I think it slotted into this story perfectly. The whole sending Rose back to 1913 was a stroke of genius and it was wonderful to watch her relationship with John evolving.
I thought that inviting Tim along was brilliant as well, as I loved his charcter in those two episodes.
Thank you so much for a wonderful and well written story! I'm going to go and make a start on the sequel!

abuseGreat story! I love these ones with Rose coming back into the third season. Your way of bringing her back with the weeping angels totally works and I love it! So after reading this one and the two-three other Human Nature / Family of Blood fics with Rose that I have found, I have gotten to making a fanvideo of the idea and plan to put it on youtube once converted around of sony vegas. I have used the idea with the weeping angels and kept Martha in it. I hope you don't mind but I figure I should let you know before posting it in case you have an issue with it (which would totally be a bummer)! Great story, great job!

abuseThat was an excellent story! Very well written. Like someone else said, I'm glad you had Martha be suspicious of Rose, it's just more in character that way. Everyone was pretty well in character. And I don't regret the loss of Joan ;-) Nice job.

p.s. Speaking of being suspicious, do you think the Doctor will really believe it's her when Rose shows up in Series 4? I'm imagining a scene similar to what happened when he regenerated into Ten.

abuseI simply adore this! Lol I came across it whilst working the other day (Meaning I couldn't leave a review at the time) and spent well over an hour trying to read it and work at the same time! I couldn't close the page which is pretty good considering I usually do if I get bored or confused. The story flowed brilliantly and I like how Rose fell into the story line so easily and how Martha didn't accept her like many other fics tend to do.

All in all I look forward to seeing your other work!
