Hey, thought I’d make a thread seeing as I brought it up and almost hijacked another thread in the process (whoops!)
I loved the Marvel series which finished today (unfortunately) and wanted to see if anyone else would be down to maybe collaborate, or brainstorm ideas to make some fics as a collection piece?
This happens all the time. I see the topics more as guidelines than rules 
What if Ekelston had done a second season would be an interesting one.
i can imagine 
and yeah thats fair tbh!
i suppose really the doctor/rose dynamic would’ve been one of the main differences but also, how he handled situations too.
[resists temptation to point out the most Scandiavian spelling of Eccleston he’s ever seen…]
Starts to get offended.
Checking my passport.
See that I am Swedish.
Stops being offended.
for those familiar with the series what if, could maybe stylise it in a similar way? have someone overseeing/telling the story. the curator even? and then short perhaps one shot fics.
What if the Doctor was played by Scandinavian actors only?
Kristoffer Ekelston
David Tiansson
Matthias Svensson
Petri Kappale
Johanna Wikbladh
Nisse Kattman
One of the most obvious options would be animation remakes of Big Finish’s Unbound line which is already based on kinda What If…? ideas. Adapting stories like Auld Mortality and Sympathy for the Devil could be great. And Nicholas Briggs could redeem himself and make a better version of Exile (as far as I know, he regrets certain parts of that story)
I could see a what if Nyssa died during Earthshock instead of Adric. I feel it’d be interesting to see the dynamic in the TARDIS after that (although I’d much prefer that no-one dies in Earthshock, because I just love the S19 team)
Here’s an idea!
What if Donna never met the Doctor?
What do you mean, it’s already been done?
Seriously, I do have a few ideas that I’ll post later.
Also:
This sounds like a good idea, but I find the Curator really hard to write.
fair tbh! i just kinda thought of him as a watcher type character, but we could make our own up tbh
Trying to think of some ideas…
What about the Rassilon from The Five Doctors (or The Eight Doctors)? You could also have your watcher character be a Time Lord monitoring the Axis.
For those who don’t know what the Axis is, it’s essentially a hub for all the timelines that the Time Lords have pruned. It features heavily in the Fifth Doctor audio The Axis of Insanity (MR#56) and Gallifrey Series 4.
What if the 11th Doctor had really been killed at Lake Silencio?
What if the 50th anniversary episode involved the classic (Five-ish) Doctors?
What if Paul McGann hadn’t been snubbed and got to be in Day of The Doctor instead of Moffat throwing in his own secret incarnation (yes im still bitter)
What if you’d gotten both 8 and 9 in Day of the Doctor?
What if, at the end of The Keeprer of Traken, Tremas had been called away and so the Master took over Nyssa?
I could imagine Tremas contacting the Doctor and begging for help to locate his missing daughter, perhaps even travelling to Logopolis only to discover that Nyssa is dead, killed by the Master. Not so sure I could see him hanging round as a companion though. But, yeah, Sarah Sutton as the Master (or Missy), I would have enjoyed that.
I know one of my previous thoughts about Nyssa was that we could have had Nyssa end up as the Master’s companion rather then the Doctor’s, which I think would have been interesting…
