This whole series was completely FANTASTIC!!!! :D
Author's Response: Thank you so much! :D
I left reviews on the individual stories, but I wanted to take a minute to say that I really, really love this series as a whole. It reminds me so much of everything that I love about Nine and Rose, with fabulous adventures and humor and... guh. It's just wonderful. It inspired me to rewatch the first season again.
I hope I can join in the voices here hoping that you'll continue the series here eventually.
I'm massively impressed by this whole series. Not only do you have a wonderful grasp of all the characters but your plots are great too! Please consider this a heartfelt plea for more. :-)
Author's Response: Thanks so much! Your plea is noted and logged. :)
This is great! Please write more!
Author's Response: Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.
Hi. I've just re-read this whole series for like the millionth time in six months and it occurred to me that I never even left a review to say how great it is. Thank you so much for writing this - it's one of my all-time, desert island, top five favorite stories. Your universe is so real and your characters are so believable. I love the older, more experienced, more confident Rose. I love the dark, jaded Doctor. This story has a lovely pace and the humor is pitch-perfect. (Only Rose and the Doctor would discuss the first rule of adventure archeology sitting in a trap!) It's the details you include that make everything come to life - Rose's introspective thoughts, the Doctor's collection of souvenir mugs, and that fantastic description of the practical things our heroes did trying to get out of the trap. But most of all, I loved your dialog. It's smart and funny and dead-on. I adore witty banter. Witty banter makes me swoon. And your kung fu is the best. :)
Author's Response: Finding this review in my inbox was a fabulous surprise. Thank you so much! Banter is such fun to write, so I\'m glad when others enjoy the finished product. Also, if you ever find a desert island with access to fanfic, let me know. I might move there. :)
This was the first story I ever read on "A Teaspoon and an Open Mind", which is one of the reason why it'll hold a special place in my memory. The second reason is that it's written so well - one of the best Alt!Universes ever!
I presume I sort of *do* suck at reviewing - I'm found wanting when it comes to telling you what in particular it is I do like about the things I like... putting it in my illicit words: very good and solid background, well thought-through - that's to say, your alternate world seems *alive*. Loved the little bits about Holmes and Indy! Plus, the dialogue really does sound right; I could hear the characters' voices in my head when I read it.
And I thought I could feel how you enjoyed writing it - that's something that doesn't come across in many otherwise technically well-written stories. Needless to say, I'm hoping very much there's more to come along the line!
Author's Response: Thanks so much! I do adore it when people take the time to write a nice, juicy review. :) Yes, I had a blast writing these. This quirky little alt!verse is my baby, and I\'m so flattered when I can make it feel just as alive to other people.
I do plan more, although my brain has currently been hijacked by an unrelated plot bunny.
This is the best alt!Nine/Rose story I've read. I love these things, and you did it very well. Not too angst-y, not too fluffy. Just right.
Nice interesting adventures while we get to know Rose as she is now, and alt!Nine. It's a gorgeous series, thank you for writing it! I hope there's more coming. Much, much more. Perhaps with romance?
Author's Response: *blushes*
Thank you so much! Maintaining the right balance between the sad and the silly is definitely important. Fear not, there is more coming, although I write very slowly and the next story is shaping up to be long.

I am so enjoying this and I adore your writing style (and much prefer your Rose).
Author's Response: Thanks so much! A few years spent mostly single and with a worthwhile job gave Rose some time to think and grow into the awesomeness that was always part of her. She\'s more thoughtful and mature, but essentially the same as ever.
I love this series! I was so excited to find that you'd posted new chapters! All those misunderstandings had me LOL - the poor Doctor! I look forward to his meeting with Jackie!
Author's Response: Gee, thanks! I\'m glad I could give you some LOLs.
The first story was just wonderful! I am waiting eagerly to read the rest of the series!
