The reason I'm avoiding the Doctor Who fandom is I'm a hopeless Doctor River Song shipper, and I also, gasp, ship Doctor Song with Doctor Who. I know, I know - I always ship the strong quippy/snarky female/strong snarky/quippy male pairings. I like banter, what can I say? Randomly popping in to say that well... DW fandom in general is rather pro-Doctor/River these days. Which is funny, because I remember when she first showed up and most people were 'Boo! Hiss! We hates her, Precious!', and then there was a slow mellowing during S5 when there was rather a lot of show-don't-tell re. River and her awesomeness. And then we got the kiss in ep 2 of S6, which River all brokenhearted and most people were all 'OH NOES, poor River! *petpetpet* I can't believe I used to hate her...'
All of which proves that slow and steady wins the race! ;)
