Martha wants to steal Rose's life

[ghost2]

Martha is so jealous of Rose, she wants pretty much everything Rose had. At least, that's how one author at ff.net would have it in Stealing Rose's Life.

Not only does Martha want the Doctor, she wants to look like the "lovely" and "glorious" Rose instead of her own "ugly" and "disgusting" self. And wait till you see how she describes her own skin color!



Martha hates her own name. But she likes Rose's. (RRRRRROOOOOOSSSSSEEEEEE. So lovely and melodious.)

She hates her hair. She likes Rose's. (Martha reached up and pulled forward a handful of her own hair, ugly and black and dull.)

She hates her skin. She likes Rose's. (Martha hated her skin. It disgusted her. It was the colour of poo!)

She loves the Doctor, but knows he prefers Rose. (She wanted to tell the Doctor how she felt, she wanted to make him love her so much. Maybe she could trick him into it. )

What does she decide to do? Why, make herself look like Rose, of course! That's the plan, at any rate. It's also the end of chapter 1.

The author's profile indicates that she's 20. Also apparently a batchipper ("Doctor + Rose forever!!"), if the content of the story didn't already make that clear.

WTF. SERIOUSLY WTF.

Oh, wow. Somebody has issues, and it ain't Martha.

I was going to say that think I've seen that fic sporked before, but then I saw it had just been posted.

MASSIVE. FAIL.

I like the two comments pointing out how racist it is, though.

*blinks* Is that some sort of (very bad) parody or something? I even went and read one of the author's other stories (about Hermione becoming a "hoe") and I still can't decide.

Bwuh? Wow... I just want to give the author a pat on the head and find her the nearest therapy group. That's just... appalling doesn't quite cover it, does it?


Oh and hi, by the way! *waves* :D

Holy Racism, Batman!

hmmmmmmmm...really um...someone needs a serious reality check. If she needs to write this kind of fic to validate her pairing then I would be inclined to guess she needs to stop writing. Yes so I wrote a fic where Tegan sprays Peri with a water hose, it not as bad as Peri wanting to become Tegan. Characters are meant to be different and if this person can't reconcile...blah blah blah they need to move back to writing about how Twinki Winki wants to steal La La's ball (I only know this because I have kids).

THE STUPID, IT BOGGLES THE MIND.

... What. Not only am I appalled by the racism involved (calling her skin the COLOUR OF POO?), it makes me wonder if they actually, you know, saw anything with Martha. I didn't really pick up self-hatred from her when I watched.

[yuxonomei.livejournal.com]

Oh for crying out loud. She doesn't even pretend to have a life, or a brain or any sense. She needs her computer taken away.

*trembles in shock* It must be a parody. A bad, bad parody. Please, fanfic gods, tell me it's a parody.

[thelamppost.livejournal.com]

Martha bashing makes me annoyed enough, but to bring in racism? OMG. Not cool.

WTF "POO"?!

[aberrantcliche.livejournal.com]

I think she's confusing her own personality with Martha's...

This is what her profile also says:
"Christopher Ecclestone is kinda ugly but David Tennent is soooo hawt! I wanna be Billie Piper so I can kiss him!"

Racism on top of Badfic... it's like a fail sundae

[ginger-rude.livejournal.com]

okay, brain melting from unconscious kneejerk racism, GAH.

[ginger-rude.livejournal.com]

..and for heaven's sake, I like Rose/BP fine, but Martha/FA is astonishingly beautiful.

That's just plain frakking scary. This is the sort of shipper that spawns 1,001 "Get off of my side—you're making my side look stupid bigoted disturbing all of the above" icons.

The author's profile indicates that she's 20.

I… would really like to believe that's not true. Yet if she were really a still-salvageable ten or twelve, she'd probably quote her age as sixteen, or eighteen. Those seem to be the most desirable numbers for pre-teens.

I'll just be crawling into the closet to hide now, kthx.
