Yeah, I've been tainted by NuWho, I'll admit; it's partly because it does have its moments, sometimes, and partly because I like messing with the continuity, trying to piece it all together and I suppose at the same time cementing classic Who's position, make it all a whole rather than trying to ignore some of the older stuff, as, er...certain NuWho fans may have a tendency to do. And I'll admit I find the idea of the Time War compelling, if only because it finally elevates the Daleks to the universe-stomping stuff-of-nightmares that is strongly implied by their concept and backstory, but which they maybe never managed to be onscreen (and I count their allegedly-epic appearances in NuWho season finales in that too).
Anyway, thank you very much for your kind words; I'm glad you enjoyed this and that you enjoyed Seven and Ace; I love writing them. I don't know if it was a good idea having Ace off-stage for the ending, but I suppose I was trying to ratchet up the stakes. And I'm glad the nuclear war stuff was suitably evocative too.
You know, if anyone asked me to pick a favourite fic I've written, I might go for "Gaze into the Abyss"; and not just because I'm a shameless Doc/Romana shipper; I just seemed to roll a lot of sixes when I was writing that one. Ah well, enough self-praise...
