Re: cont.

Shmoopy and happy is good!

...but for some reason my ships never turn out that way in the end, so I kind of gave up to the morbid, lol.

Just the few things I've read in the past seemed comical, naive, underdeveloped, or just for the sex (or, of course, a combination of any or all of the above).

...oh my, yes, and this is the painful part of that little niche of the fandom. There are the people who have been Doctor/Master shippers (and usually Kirk/Spock shippers coincide, haha) since the dawn of the Master's existence who are appalled by the fact that there are people under 30 in their fandom. And then there are fourteen-year-old slashers who write IKEA porn about them with a few idioms they've learned, obviously, only through reading other slash porn that doesn't even take into consideration the several thousand metric tons of baggage that both of them would have about each other and the lives they've led at this point.

That said, I think my RP partner and I might make it a bit easier than it actually would be when we RP them, just for the sake of the amount of time we cover in our RPs to actually get to RP anything except angst, but that aside, I'd like to think we try to deal with that sort of thing and we also have them addressing Rose and the way that's affected everything (and even Lucy from time to time).

I really don't understand people who ship the Doctor and the Master just because they think David Tennant/John Simm RPS would be hot, or something... Like I said: baggage. And really, with a ship like that, that's actually the fun bit... but not happy shmoopy fun, to be very much attested to.

...and yeah, that Academy days stuff is what's got me with all these Teenage Time Lords bunnies frolicking around in my head. It's... very hard to resist, but I'm terrified of them. I think they grow fangs at night. Although, to be said, a long time ago before many shows had even thought of spin-offs, there was talked about a spin-off that was actually about the Time Lord Academy and the younger!Doctor but they decided against it because it would have taken away from some of the Doctor's mystique.

...but that would have been right hilarious.
