Story: The Real Reason the Doctor and Rose Tyler Never Had Sex
Author: azriona
Rating: Teen
Word Count: 315
Author's Summary: Exactly what it says on the tin, kids. The reason that the Doctor and Rose didn’t have sex has NOTHING to do with the hour the show was aired.
Characters/Pairings: Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler
Warnings: None
Recced because: It's hilarious, and like the best humor fics it needs no other excuse. But even better, the humor comes from a well-known fact about the Doctor that I'd never thought about in this context until I read this fic. The result is total win.

We do want people to rec new stories, though you're right that this isn't noted anywhere. Thanks for calling this to my attention; I'll add it to our profile.

Thanks. Sorry about the privacy settings. I don't recall putting them like that. I'll have a look.

Sorry, just have to jump in here. I realize I don't have the whole conversation, so I might be misconstruing things, but are you saying that older stories shouldn't be recced on Calufrax? If so, why not? Good fic is good fic -- why should it matter when it was written? In fact, I would argue that it's a lot harder for readers to come across the old gems than it is for them to find the good newer fic on their own. If everyone had already read all the older stories, that would be one thing, but Teaspoon is a big place, and there are new readers coming into the fandom all the time. If this is really a change you're considering, could you explain your thinking?

No, no, I mean that people should only rec stories that haven't been recced here before! Sorry; you didn't have the original message for context.

Ah, great, thank you! I'm glad I misunderstood. : )
