Yes, please do, it makes the fandoms less confusing to navigate! Also, unnecessarily tagging the fic with the Classic Who tag as well may discourage readers who aren't familiar with the classic series and believe it's needed for the fic; it would for me, at least.

I don't want to read either Ten/Rose or Twelve/Clara, personally. Ten/Rose I'm just sick of since it's everywhere, especially since the show itself couldn't stop going on about them even after she'd left. But, well, I don't want to get into shipping fights or offend you, so I'm trying not come across too harsh... But I have to admit that Twelve/Clara is a major squick for me, because the age difference of the actors is just way too much for me. (This has nothing to do with how well I can handle the age difference between the characters in cases of Doctor/companion ships, which I have a few. It's a very emotional and instinctive reaction that happens before I can even start to rationalize.) Plus, it just doesn't work for me character-wise either; I love Twelve and I generally like Clara, but I don't much like them together, to be honest. Their personalities and interactions really don't work for me in a shipping sense. Plus, I have the similar problem as I have with Ten/Rose, that the show itself started getting waaaaaayyy too obsessed with their relationship being The Specialest Ever.

Er, sorry, went off on a tangent. But I didn't want to just say "Actually I hate Twelve/Clara!" and leave it there, I wanted to explain a bit where my feelings come from. I don't mind people shipping things I don't, I just don't want to see it where it's not supposed to be in the first place. :-)
