I love the way she stood up to the Family, and how she describes her role with the Doctor

I find it terribly amusing that you picked out the exact bits that inspired this! I definitely wanted Rose to face The Family in all her bad-ass glory. And yeah, I wanted John Smith and Joan Redfern to see the absolute devotion Rose had for The Doctor.

Excitement and action! Sweet. I just realized that this isn't my usual humor, so yay for me!

And I love your comment because it's so lovely and and complimentary!

And I have come to like that she makes the choice his, very much so.

Thanks a bunch!
