I've read this now, and I think it would appeal more to hardcore Doctor/Rose shippers than others. I do like the way that Jackie is shown to be loving Pete and missing his absence, but I was hoping for her to be a bit more proactive, rather than having everything resolved by deus-ex-machina. Certain things don't make sense. I know that most of the point of the story is to say how much worse off everyone is if the Doctor didn't meet Rose, but I think the changes would have been more wide-ranging than they were, especially with regard to Jack. Besides the wish-fulfilment ending, I think this would appeal mainly to Doctor/Rose shippers because the characterisations of the other companions seem to be a bit "off".
