the only thing I'd say is to maybe get someone to Brit-pick it for you, since some of the turns of phrase are more American than English. Stick_poker generally comes through at some point and does an admirably thorough job of ripping my work to shreds in that way. And if not, I'm sure I'll be submitting this to a final brit pick when/if I actually finish ;-)
But other than that it works very well - esp Amy's inquisitiveness. Thanks! I'm tempted to write a bunch of dialogue drabbles for these two the way I did with Doctor/River to get into the voices. I'm not sure if the humor is really there as much with them, though, which always leaves me a bit confused about how to proceed. Their phone conversation in TBB was funny--maybe I'll watch that a bunch of times.
I don't have any recs - I don't think, I might get back to you, and anyway, you seem to have a lot already Yes, I think I've got enough to be getting on with, as they say. If you think of anything specific, though, I'd of course be grateful.
I'm not quite sure how to help you with your delayed wedding dilemma. I think rumplesnorcack has found the solution, fortunately, and all it needs is a little finessing. I'm not sure it's even gonna show up explicitly in the story, but it's the kind of thing that I need to know for myself to make it all work. Plus it matters to the dynamics between everybody.
(P.S.: I owe you replies . . . had one of those "ack too many things in brain, must ignore internet and watch stupid TV instead" moments, lol. I don't think that's happened since the finale :-\ )
