Wow, good story.

[Tim]

Thanks, Katherine, I'm happy with the way it turned out.

As you see, if combined characters and concepts from both Classic Who and the New Series.

[Melinda Halliwell]

I noticed that yes.

I enjoyed mixing Classic and Nu Who together like this.  After all, the both take place in the same reality.

Fun having Vince, a Classic Who character, dating Sally, a Nu Who one.

Well, so far the story has gotten only three reviews at FF.net.  I think that this reviewer hit the problem on the head:

I only know Doctor Who through the 21st Century series, but the TARDIS Wiki site helped me with the bits I didn't know about.

It seems that most Who fans at FF.net only know Doctor Who through the New Series.  So, going into my story, they would know who Sally Sparrow is, but not Vince Hawkins, a Classic Who character.  Also, my whole series springs from a Classic Who story, Horror Of Fang Rock, and that only adds to the problem.  I'm writing about something modern Who fans know nothing about.

Well if the age range most people read fanfiction.net stories is 30 years or below especially teenagers then that's understandable about them not knowing what classic Who is unless they're parents/grandparents tell them about it.

So long as there's somewhere people can look up character info or episode info on like TARDIS Wiki then they should get the gist of what you're writing or if so just ask you what they wanna know when they review you which you can answer back what like I've done with some of my stories of course.

That's no doubt true, since Classic Who ended in 1989.

Yeah, like that fellow that reviewed.  He said he had to go to TARDIS Wiki to look up things he didn't know about.
