Author's Summary:
Once upon a time, there was a girl who dreamed of adventure - until one day a woman in a leather jacket took her by the hand and told her to run.

Warnings: 2,660

Recced because: One of the best things about Halloween is ladies with a rock-solid excuse to be sexy as hell. One of the worst things about Halloween is ladies sacrificing their personal integrity to conform to arbitrary standards of beauty for the conditional approval of a heteronormative male-dominated society. Poetry's Mad Girl's Love song is all about the former and gives a big, joyous brush-off to the latter: she writes a female Ninth Doctor who's gorgeous and strong and hurting and healing, and a Rose who finds out that love can be lots of different things, and a Jack who is every bit as flexible as a 51st century guy should be. To top it all off, Poetry even gives the Doctor a genderswap within the genderswap fic, and writes her regenerating into a male Ten. It's a funny and silly and thoughtful romp through a Rule 63'd Season One, and it's worth every minute you spend reading it.

That. Was. FABULOUS. :D

Rose/Nine doesn't usually do a lot for me, but Girl!Nine is just so awesome I love them already! Thanks for the rec.

Do you have any idea if anybody's done fanart with any of the genderswapped Doctors, but especially Nine? I've had no luck looking around, but it must exist somewhere. :(

Not sure about fanart, but joking's continued her fem!Nine into Male!Ten universe. You can find the links on both her Teaspoon page or her LJ fic masterlist. They are equally as good as the original story.

Thank you for the rec! I didn't know this fic, and was completely blown away by it. I've always loved Nine, but now I think I love hir even more as a woman. FANTASTIC!
