I have a fanfic published about Leela and Eight/War. Not the greatest but I had to write it at the time.
I do actually have a writing project for Sixth Doctor stories (books? they would work better as comics, but I need to learn to draw first) that I shared earlier this year. It hasn’t progressed at all because of uni, but one day I shall come back to it.
There is also one for Seven that I haven’t shared yet (and is a lot less well-structured) as well as a novel for Nine that I did write a bit some years ago, but unfortunately I lost the docs and have to rewrite it all whenever I have time.
To say this is a short “fix-it” would be incorrect, I don’t so much as solve anything as give Belinda problems in an existential sort of manner! It takes the state she was left in at the end of The Reality War and asks okay, but what if she’s still aware of her life before the finale?
Not particularly a fanfiction person myself but I am a writer and the Reality War inspired me to write a piece of flash fiction which features the Sixteenth Doctor (I know, I know, but she is for me, at least currently) in the moments we see of her at the end of the episode . It’s directly inspired by the prose styles of RTD, Moffat, and Chibnall, and in particular Chibnall’s fantastic lockdown work Things She Thought While Falling - in fact, mine is called Things She Thought While Regenerating in a particularly on the nose reference.
I’ve not published it anywhere (I don’t know where I would, really) but I do have it saved as a PDF which I sent to a friend. It was fun to write something after this most recent episode had inspired me to.
Perhaps I worded that wrong - I don’t want to publish fanfiction anywhere, but I’m aware that makes it practically impossible to easily share this little bit. I’m not really that kind of writer, haha, the only other thing like this I’ve done was an Iris Wildthyme story I did over five years ago now!
Idea I have for a fanfic that I might write someday. The Doctor and companion enter the lotus hotel from the Percy Jackson and the olympians series. For those that don’t know percy jackson, the lotus hotel is a place where time gets distorted and the people that enter never want to leave. Very doctor who-y. I’m thinking of what doctor and companion would work best for the lotus hotel.
Working on this. i put some more thought into it, and I decided to go with 10 and Rose. It needed a young companion and the 10th doctor is one of the more likely to get distracted so this felt like the right pairing for this story. I also have a idea for it that is really timey wimey so off I go to write this.
I’m writing a crossover between Doctor Who, and a book series I like(Skulduggery Pleasant) after seeing the parralells between the relationship of our main characters in that, and 10 and Donna, as well as many between The Doctor and Skulduggery(titular character). I am not writing this for others, I am writing it because I had a cool idea that would not leave me alone until I wrote it into a story.
I have 2 versions of a scene and I need opinions on which one is better:
“You didn’t watch your child die in front of your eyes, alongside the love of your life!” spat Skulduggery. The Doctor’s expression morphed into one of pain, shock and sadness. His eyes suddenly contained despair deeper than Valkyrie had ever seen.
Option 1: In a steely tone, the doctor said “You have no idea what I have lost.” Skulduggery, recognising the pain he himself had felt for centuries, said “No I don’t. But I have lost those close to me too, and I know nothing I can say will ever make it better, but believe me, the pain may never go away completely, but eventually, with time, and the support of good friends, you may be able to spend entire days without mentally shedding a tear for their deaths” with more sympathy and earnestness than Valkyrie had ever seen him use. “Skulduggery, could I talk to you outside for just a moment?” asked Valkyrie, gently. “Why didn’t you tell me?!” she demanded, once the door was shut. “Tell you what?” Skulduggery replied, sounding honestly confused, tilting his head “That even now you still struggle to spend a whole day without mourning your family. I’m your best friend, and I deserve to know when you are struggling. You should know by now that you can talk to me, tell me when you’re not ok.”
Option 2: “I’m so sorry” “Do you even know what it’s like?” asked Skulduggery, despite recognising the pain of having lost family. “Better than you could ever imagine. It’s been 500 years since I saw my granddaughter, and it’s too late now. My entire planet died, and, to most of the universe it was like it never existed, like she never existed” the Doctor replied, with more sadness than Valkyrie ever thought possible, and her best friend was Skulduggery.
Tried my hand at a drabble for the first time today (that’s a story in precisely 100 words), it was very fun, I should do it more often. If anyone wants some Romana and K9 silliness, here you go: https://archiveofourown.org/works/66384715
