update
Well it's been a busy few days, but on the plus side I might have a job soon (keeping fingers crossed).
Honestly I expected there to be more upheaval over the new Doctor announcement, but it might not hurt that a lot of people like me aren't planning to watch Moff-Who anyway so are kind of adopting a meh attitude. Maybe once I've processed a little more I'll have an opinion or I'll just stick with the not watching anyway so why get worked up over it stance I have now.
(As a side note, told real life friends about my intention to not watch Moff-Who, they were shocked).
Also meme:
Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.
Just one question (per comment), please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.
Question can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.

Hmm, fandom question: (New Who) If you could pair one plot an episode with a different writer from the show, what/who would it be? Anbd why? And how would it be different? (Ooh, I like this question so much, I may post it in my lj. Hmmmm.)

GitF I'd give to RTD. RTD isn't exactly against giving the Doctor other women to flirt with or get attached to, but he know where the Doctor's heart is and how to make the new person interesting, believable, and keep the Doctor in character while it happens. Also he knows how to write the companions and give them things to do and character arcs of their own within the story.
There would be a lot of things different I suspect. For one it would follow SR better. Also, like I said Rose and Mickey would have something to do besides get captured. The story would be much more emotionally honest because RTD can't not do that (looking at how he struggled with JE makes it clear how much he strives for that). We'd actually get insight into Rose's mindset during all this. If the Ten/Reinette subplot even happened it would have been more about them connecting emotionally rather than her invading his mind. And the story, while no doubt more crack addled, would probably have actually been effective.
School Reunion I would give to Paul Cornell. Currently there's too much plot sidetracking from the emotional turmoil of the episode I say.
While I'd trade out writers on DiM/EotD, 42, and maybe even Gridlock (sorry RTD that one wasn't a hit with me), I can't think of all the details yet. I don't think anyone could save SitL/FotD without them being completely different plots so that doesn't really hot your question. Might come back to all this later.
