Okay, I've Made Big Decision One

[amberfocus]

I'm splitting the time line in Moments in Darkness.  There will be PotW and that is where the time line will split.  In timeline A, Nine will continue on, manage not to regenerate, and we will go along our merry way with Rose and Jack (not killing him) and definitely no Mickey being picked up to travel with them.   And yes, I've made the other decision, I'm just not sharing it, yet.  Because I'm evil.  Yes, I know.   Thank you. *bows*

As for timeline B with Ten, it will follow season 2 pretty closely.  Only it will take Rose more time to accept him as Ten than it did in the show.  Because it's all about the angst I can derive from that.  This will follow close to the heart of the angst that this MoD series has been about and Rose gradually learning to accept that he's still the Doctor.  He will do some bad things (like GitF) that will destroy her trust in him.  She'll make a few bad choices, too, but they will be based off of reacting to his bad choices.  Things the series should have dealt with but never really did.

I finally got a script from the doctor today for sleeping pills for my insomnia, so I'm taking one tonight and not finishing the next chapter of Change unless they don't work.  And tomorrow's game day at the soccer park and then a Costco run, so maybe by tomorrow night I'll have it done, beta'd and up.  I will get the next two chapters of A Place in Time up, too.

Sounds like exciting stuff ahead in your fics! And sweet dreams; insomnia is no fun at all. I've had bouts of it before and I hated it.

And I'm up with it again, forgot to take the pill until too late and now I'm sitting here with my eyes wide open. Oh, well.

Hooray! LOVE your timeline split ideas, & look forward eagerly to new stories (will there be...*smut*??)

That said, I ALSO look forward to more "Moon" stories...hint, hint....and continuation of "Hunger Moon." Perhaps your plot bunnies should attack tonight, whilst you slumber from sleeping pills???

Some smut, some not smut, like now. I'm working on HM all day tomorrow.

I'm confused. Does that mean that there will be 2 Doctors and 2 Roses? And are you going to do 2 stories based on the 2 timelines? But still, hurray! Your idea sounds fantastic! (Although I'm still trying to grasp the concept. I think I'm getting somewhat slow lately)

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Yes, there will be. I'll make two stories both starting from PotW. One will follow a Nine that didn't regenerate with Rose and Jack and the other will follow Ten and Rose without Jack through the regular season 2 shows.

I am SO excited that that's the decision you made! I really, really, really wanted to read both of those outcomes where Nine survives PotW yet where we also get to see Rose trying to accept Ten as the same person. *excited clapping*

Oh, I've been struggling with insomnia myself recently and it just sucks like a fleet of Hoovers! >:( Hope the meds work for you and you get some really restful sleep! *fingers crossed* And hopefully the sandman will stop by and pay me a visit, too! ;) Feel better! *hugs* ♥!

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Thanks. And I've seen your fleet of hoovers. They always make me giggle.

Love this idea of keeping Nine for MoD in one timeline (though, admittedly, I adore anything that serves to keep Nine along for longer than his alloted time). (-_-;) Really enjoying the story, especially how their level of intimacy gradually built up, the need becoming more and more apparent (and sympathized with poor Nine's discovery of Rose's genetic incompatibility). And the world needs a good supply of non-immortal, non-embittered Cap'n. :) Will look forward to it!

(Experienced insomnia all through high school - finally got some meds that worked; hope yours does the same.)

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Thanks. And I never said Jack wouldn't be immortal. *grins* Don't rule it out.

[absolutbritish.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to it all...

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Thanks. *grins*

[starrynights24.livejournal.com]

Oh I like the idea of doing both timelines! Can't decide which one I'm looking forward to more. I absolutely love Nine, and will take as much of him as I can get, but I'm also looking forward to you addressing the stuff the show never did. All of it should be fantastic!

*fingers crossed that you can get some sleep* I've never had insomnia before, and I hope I never do. I would never wish a sleep deprived me on anyone - I'm not nice!

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I hope it works out the way I'm thinking it will.

[slvrcrystalc.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You're making two fics from the start of one! Yay!

I'm looking forward to both of them. =D

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Thanks. *smiles*

[sisterofkarn.livejournal.com]

This is awesome! The best of both worlds! :D Yay! Thank you so much, I am really looking forward to both time lines.

*happy dance*

Don't know if you saw last night's DW, but if so then you can imagine it had little pedantic me twitching in parts. :D
I thought of my comments earlier this week and cringed. Yup, sometimes it is the story that matters and twitchy people like me need to laugh at themselves. ^_^

I have a sleep disorder, myself. Insomnia really sucks. I hope the meds worked and you got some good rest! Have a great day!

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

It really was too hard to just do one. I mean, it made the most sense to go with Ten because of the whole format of the series, but I didn't want to part with Nine after I put all this effort into making him this way, you know?

[angelfireeast.livejournal.com]

Sounds very interesting:D I can't wait to read those:D I do think it'd take a while for Rose to trust Ten, becuase he changed A LOT then blew the truth with GitF.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Yes, he really did blow it. But I have a lot of ideas for leading up to that particular episode and leading away from it, too. Well, you know how badly I punished Ten in Post Pomp for what he did to Rose. Well, in the upcoming fic, I'm going to at least give him a reason that makes sense to me for what he did.

I hope your sleeping tablets work for you tonight. I like the sound of your timeline split, looking forward to what happens :D

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It should be fun to write. Or painful, depending on how much angst there is.
