*barges in* As a card-carrying Doctor/Rose shipper(we even have a secret handshake!) it irritates me because people act like Nine doesn't count, from both a shippy perspective and as the Doctor. I *heart* Nine, liek woah. I would have killed for another season with him.

And since I'm sharing, although I love both iterations of Doctor/Rose-am also up for past!Doctor/Rose, for that matter-I do not in any way, shape or form, ship Billie with either of her costars. I have no desire to see her shack up with either of them and NO, I will not go away, fandom, if the next Doctor is old or ugly. Too bad for you. Since you (didn't) ask. Hmm. Needed to get that off my chest, there.
