Dear Doctor Who fandom,

Please stop writing Doctor/Rose reunion stories. (This goes for "Rose meets alternate universe Doctors" too). They were very lovely for a while and cathartic too, but the horse is dying, if not dead. Let's see some more stories where Rose gets on with her life! (Hoo boy, I hope that ficathon happens!)

I know we all miss her, but wouldn't it be interesting to see where her path goes if she stays with altTorchwood and her family? "Rose Tyler, Defender of the Earth" and all that? It makes me sad to see so many promising alt-verse set-ups abandoned a few chapters in.

Love,
Me

ps. I want to write "Rose comes back to this universe and then chooses to leave again" (because it's where her life is now, and it's where she has people who love her and that she loves). Implied in that statement is that the Doctor does not, in fact, conveniently show up or get conveniently summoned. Doctor-free not-reunion fic! (Except that I would actually be a tease, since everyone would expect it to be.)

I think that there could be all sorts of neat stuff done with Rose in the alternate universe managing to stand on her own feet just fine.

But what do I know? I'm just a genficcer. :p

I cannot emphasise enough how much I agree with this comment. But then again, I am also a genficcer... I sense a pattern here :)
