tl;dr writing blather
Dear LJ: Please to be emailing me comments. kthxbye.
You know, it's dumb. My little DW fic is so AU. And obviously the sequel I'm writing will also be utterly AU. The Martha I created last year bears no resemblance to canon Martha. Meeting up with the Face of Boe - completely different than what ended up happening in S3. Same goes for meeting up with Jack. But yet I've kinda stalled in writing it, just because of S3 stuff.
Part of it, well, a lot of it is the Doctor. Back when I wrote this, even before Torchwood had aired, I had this whole picture in my mind of what the Doctor would be like without Rose: he'd go on, basically the same as always. Oh, he'd have some "*sniff* Rose" moments, but they'd be very hidden away. He'd mourn in private, with no impact to events around him. I just did not foresee S3. Did not see him becoming just so incredibly wrecked from her loss, driving him to bad, bad places.
I ended the DW fic I did last year with them basically doing that grinning-like-fools thing, reunited and on the way back to the TARDIS. Oh, happy as clams, but... But now with S3, I'm sitting with a hand to my face, realizing I completely underplayed their reunion in my fic. And as S3 went along, I kept shifting towards more romance in the sequel. Like, every episode that went by, my mindset kept changing.
Around 42 I stopped writing on the sequel, just because half of me started thinking that Rose would kick everyone else out of the TARDIS for a month, while she let the Doctor have a good cry in her lap.
Again, this is just SO silly - my fic is AU and there's *nothing* in it that had the Doctor going off to this S3 place. But yet, I can't help being swayed by canon. *mutters*
Hmm. Maybe I need to write a cry-in-her-lap fic (not that *actual* crying in her lap would be involved, naturally) just to get it out of my system. I have the feeling my mini-not-a-fic the other day had a bit to do with this. I needed to get it out of my system. HA! Now I'm writing sequels to not-fics. imadork.

And crying in her lap fic, hell I've been saying he needed that since Gridlock, just never managed to coherently write it.

Awww! *g*
Now I'm all excited about the possibility of a sequel, but I can certainly understand how season 3 makes it hard to continue stories written before we saw it (hell, someday maybe I'll finish one of the stories I've started over the past year, most of which are highly contradictory to canon at this point).
The sequel so far is basically like a S2 episode - bouncy silliness with a bit of monsters and drama thrown in. And so it completely clashes with what's going on now. Oy.

He *so* needs that, doesn't he?
