I forget which, but one of the really big Doctor Who sites had so many people bitching about the emo hair that the servers crashed.
Unfortunately there is scope for bad 11/Rose fics. Not canonical scope, obviously, but idiotic AU scope the fanbrats may jump at, since this new chap's been in something that involved him being in bed with Billie Piper.
He must be bloody good, from what the various producery type people were saying on Doctor Who Confidential. He won them all over on the first day of auditions. So long as it wasn't with evil Samsonesque superpowers, it ought to be alright.

Either version is worthy of PPCing, and she's an active threat to canon.
Incidentally, why is it that missions against force sensitives never seem to involve the ysalamir? They are canon in the 'verse, and would be highly effective. Timeline stuff isn't really that much of a problem, as people have known how to get them off the branches for quite some time as of the Thrawn era.

FFnet doesn't allow MA rated stuff, but says the rating is for graphic sex and graphic violence. But what is graphic?
It seems that if you name all the bit parts by their proper names it's graphic (or too graphic for FFnet). Talking in metaphores and similies would often be okay for M, or even T (though will probably make half the people here want to slap you).
I once wrote a scene were there was one mention of how blood splattered. I offered it for consideration to an administrator of a fanfic site/forum and suggested an M rating. They said I should scratch the sentence about the blood and tag on an M rating (while the blood sentence was the only reason I thought it should be M). It's currently on FFnet with the blood line and rated T. Used to be M, but the rest of the story so is not, and I don't think the one sentence has enough shock effect in it to warrant the M.
And really do warn for things. There's another story, in the same fandom as my above mentioned story, where a torture scene takes place. It's rated T, but I stopped reading when the first joint popped. I asked the author to at least warn for gore if they weren't going to mark their story as M. The torture is built up slowly, and that's just too much drama (for lack of a better word) for a T rated fic.

... that while I think there've been Agents without LOs before (a couple, in the game, I mean), having no LO and a special ability which raises a stat which is /only used in association with the LO/ seems a bit weird. So you might want to edit Agent Sonata a bit. :P

... where I always think of the line as being is; M = swearing frequent but not incessant and/or moderate violence and/or sex scenes that exist but aren't graphic.
NC-17 = incessant bad language and/or graphic violence and/or graphic sex.
I'd also suggest that rape and non-con are almost always NC-17 even if not gone into in too much detail (just a mention in passing could be M, but if you have such a scene, even a vague one, it ought to be NC-17).
And whatever rating you choose, always WARN for: slash or het (because people like to know before clicking the link) non-con, dub-con, threesomes/unusual pairings, underage!, kink, bad language, violence and character death.
-Trojie
PS: I believe that ff.net do not allow NC-17 type stories or graphic sex scenes. I'm not sure of the details, though, so I advise checking their terms and conditions etc.

Yep, she's not from anything officially published. Cham isn't a canon either, so that was a bit of a writing fumble on my part in not making it clear enough.
Anyway, sorry for the Flower slip, I wasn't entirely sure how to go about writing one of them. I did try read up on the Kdzu though. [/excuse making]
As to your other question; sure, go ahead! I don't mind at all. ^^

She's from a role-play based on Battle Royale, but she's not, in fact, a character from any officially published work? I just want to make sure I understand it right. If you frequently have a temptation to lift minor characters from canon works (Agent Cham?), I'm going to tell you right now to get over it.
The writing sample could use a little bit of work, but it's nothing a beta wouldn't catch: a few commas where there should be periods and a few places where it wasn't clear who was supposed to be speaking. Also, please avoid interrobangs. They tend to be more annoying than anything else, and I'm pretty sure none of the Flowers would ever indulge in them. Other than that, I enjoyed it. {= )
Pending your response, this is a tentative Permission Granted.
Taking off my PG Hat now: mind if I borrow Nurse Barker for a story set around the Invasion? He seems entertaining. *g* (Your response to this particular question will not affect your status vis a vis Permission.)

I know the feeling. Everyone has their own Doctor, the one they'll always keep a special spot in their heart for. Mine was Nine, and I still mourn his passing. Such is the nature of the show. There will always be another Doctor, and there will always be another Companion. Just try to keep an open mind for each new arrival.
And hey--we still have a little more time left with Tennant. And who knows, maybe Eleven will get a haircut before Series 5 starts (they have, what, a year left?). Hope that cheers you up.
Also, I highly doubt that the BBC will cut down on the ridiculously gorgeous men in the next few seasons. Just a hunch.

Boy, and I thought David Tennant would go down in history as the Prettyboy Doctor. I figure either the BBC is actively trying to provoke fanlust, or he's just that good. Let's hope it's the latter. On the brighter side of things, the amount of new bad 10/Rose fics will probably go down...probably.
The hair is a bit silly, though. Maybe we should throw Sylar at him. Sylar is very good at haircuts.
Have to admit, I was rather hoping for an older Doctor in the style of OldWho, but I'll reserve judgement until we've seen him onscreen. Hey, is it true that a ton of fans threw tantrums when they heard that Christopher Eccleston left, causing the Outpost Gallifrey boards to go down? Is something like that going to happen again?

People seem to have covered most of my favorites, so I'll just post a few:
Shortpacked!--set in a retail toy store, the comic mainly focuses on the lives of the cast, but occasionally throws in comics that make fun of various fandoms--primarily the DC comics universe and Transformers, but it includes others. It makes fun of fandoms and fan antics in the way only a veteran greek would know how to do. Screamingly funny, with a spinoff comic posted on Mondays. www.shortpacked.com
The 10 Doctors--This is actually a fan webcomic, but it's so awesome I had to include it. It's a Doctor Who comic wherein all ten regenerations of the Doctor are brought together for unknown reasons and, in typical Doctor fashion, get caught up in all sorts of strange adventures. It captures the spirit of the show perfectly and is a must-read (in my humble opinion) for anyone who's ever enjoyed the show. comics.shipsinker.com/
Errant Story--A half-elf mage decides to take over the world for a school project. On the way, she gets caught up in a rather spectacular adventure. I get the feeling that the authors set out to write a different story than they ended up with, since the beginning is fairly different from the rest of the story, but it's still a pretty great fantasy webcomic in my opinion.

And here's a link for it. It's funnier if you play D&D or at least know some of the terminology.
I also enjoy the following:
Ctrl+Alt+Del (CAD) - Generally a good laugh, even if you're not a gamer (which I'm not).
DAR: A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary - Nothing like the title indicates. It's crude, lewd, and pulls no punches on things like lesbianism, nudity, sex, pimples, boogers, and other things normally not mentioned in polite conversation. Also totally awesome.
Looking for Group (LFG) - Funnier if you have at least a passing awareness of World of Warcraft.
Casey and Andy - Ended, so no new comics, but full of mad science and geek humor.
I think the rest of mine have been mentioned already.

There's only two of them (32C and 32D). Could be that they're for agents created by the same author.
My agents are in 80s as they mainly work in fandoms that were on TV in the eighties. But I also use an RC that has not yet received a number (I figured it would be easier to find as you wouldn't know what you were looking for).
