Heheee... I chuckled at "it's bigger on the inside". :) So did I. Because I am lame, apparently.
Not that it will be useful, but here is my post in which I first squeed all over this plot bunny! Ooo . . . thanks! You're right; I'm not sure there's anything I can use there, but I do love knowing the path of ideas, how they mutate, all that. That said, next time I watch the season, I may very well try to watch River's episodes through that filter. I already love the fact that River takes care of Amy so much in ToA/FaS because she's been to Amy's house, seen the dolls and such, and knows how screwed up she is, but I'm sure there's a whole lot more subtext you could read into that. Oh, and the River/Amy interactions from ToA/FaS are definitely going to have bearing on this fic.
I'm still bizarrely attached to the idea of them *actually* being her parents, but I must admit that your way fits much more nicely into canon! Hey, the beauty of fic is, me writing this in no way prevents somebody else from writing your version. It is gonna be a long hiatus. I'll bet somebody will do it eventually. Isn't that a rule of fandom? If you can think it, sooner or later, someone will write the fic. Or does that only work for smut? At any rate, I'd read it.
As long as you write it, I WILL READ IT. :D \o/ YOUR SUPPORT IS AWESOME
