I prefer Nine/Rose to Ten/Rose not necessarily because I dislike Ten (though I do love Nine more) but because I dislike what Rose became with Ten; so much less than she used to be.
This. Although I do love Ten more, or at least I love David Tennant more for being such a fanboy at heart, and trying so incredibly hard to make a silk purse out of a lot of painfully sow's eared scripts and dialogue. I don't know that anybody else could have kept me watching Ten as long as I did. But even so there were an ever-increasing number of moments when I wanted to drop-kick Ten through the goalposts of the universe, and by the end I simply couldn't take any more and stopped watching. (Not that I have any regrets about missing "Last of the Time Lords", mind you.) I didn't have that trouble with Eccleston's Nine, but on the other hand I feel no particular desire to re-watch any of the Nine episodes either, whereas I've re-watched quite a few of Ten's.
And thank you for the nice words about the fic!
As for the crossposting thing, it's a little tricky. I know how to crosspost to LJ and have the option already set up here on DW, but I don't always like to do so automatically because I f-lock fannish and/or personal stuff on LJ these days, and I can't get DW to crosspost and f-lock at the same time (or at least I don't know how to get it to do that), so I have to do the repost manually or the post will not only be public on LJ, it'll also end up on Facebook.
(Which, admittedly, is not the end of the world, but is bound to frustrate and bewilder the people who only follow me for writing-related updates, or who only know me in RL and not in a fannish capacity.)
