I am so glad to hear you are recovering! Luck was with you this time...
I'm sorry to hear the Dr. Who-dom is a fickle as the rest of fanfic. Alas, I'm useless reading it because I haven't seen the show regularly since Jon Pertwee was playing the Doctor and not at all since Tom Baker took the role. The former (JP) was OK, if a bit stuffy, but I preferred more sci-fi things such as Space:1999. The latter (TB) annoyed me so much -- working too hard at being quirky, IMHO -- that I lost what little interest I had. Still, I wish folks who *do* like the show would pay more attention to your work! I'm sure you write just as well and create interesting storylines and OCs that are just as good was what you've done in Tolkfic, so by rights, you should have a lot of fans. No accounting for some people's taste, or lack of it, I guess... [sigh]
40C??!!! Oh my! Do take good care to stay as cool as you can and well-hydrated, both you and Mum!
