Great sequel, I really like it 10/10. I think it’s my favorite story in this main range so far.
Thank you! I loved your story as well, and the idea for Monstap - “three-metre tall alien warrior” is definitely a fresh companion archetype, and he’s the kind of more outlandish character who would really complement the Fourth Doctor. The idea of taking that pairing and putting them in something very heavily leaning into fantasy tropes felt really natural to me.
New Main Range 15 - The Mundial War
Doctor: 13th
Companion: Yaz, Dan
Description: In the year 3218, a world war broke out on Earth, igniting conflict among every existing nation. The Doctor lands in the midst of a battle and steps out with Yaz, while Dan finishes packing his lunch. As soon as they emerge, Yaz is shot and begins to bleed out, while Torchwood captures the Doctor and, in exchange for her cooperation, promises to save Yaz, taking her back to their base. Minutes later, when Dan leaves the TARDIS, he is mistaken for a soldier of one faction and is recruited into the war, being sent off to another future battle.
While working with Torchwood, the Doctor discovers that the cause of this war is the “Phasmes,” a vulture-like race that conquers planets by engineering internal wars, leaving them weakened and vulnerable before seizing control. The Doctor sends a message to every current political leader, exposing this stratagem, enforcing a ceasefire, and launching an attack on the Phasmes’ ship, driving them away as their first vessels begin to fall. In the end, the Doctor and Yaz reunite with Dan, who never actually went into battle, as he became distracted sharing his stories with fellow soldiers.
New Main Range 16 - The Room with no escape
Doctor: 5
Companions: Nyssa & Tegan
Set after The Tunnel at the End of the Light
Description: Following on from the two brilliant 5, Nyssa & Tegan Stories, this Stories finds the two Companion isolated from the Doctor and trapped in a massive Room, that is no way of escaping. And as the day passes by it gets smaller & smaller without seemingly any Solution to find a way out for the two women. This would mainly be a dialogue heavy piece with claustrophobic horror thrown in, dealing with the emotional aftermath of the two previous Stories. The Doctor’s Part in this Story is non-existing, aside from a few dream sequences, where 5 tries to guide them the way out of this, which is being honest with their feelings.
(Hope it’s alright for NyssaUnbound, that I build the basis for this one on her Stories, which I do like the Sound of it!
)
Absolutely, develop all you like! Go wild! I have ideas about where I’d like this arc to go, so preferably don’t resolve or undo it, but the whole point of this thread is to be collaborative. Please, play in this space
I am glad to hear it! And yeah, I figured, big Reason why I mainly went with something that works well enough for the end of the first trilogy of stories for this, hah! Looking forward, what other Ideas you have in mind for this Arc! ![]()
Quick note! Try to say what stories your story is set between!

Her parents owned a tech company that was failing, and once Ellie showcases her inventions, they immediately tried to turn a profit.

“You’re willing to risk the destruction of your whole world to win an arms race!”

Meanwhile, in the present day, a top secret defence contractor has pitched their latest invention to UNIT. They call it the Guardian… and claim it will stop any and every threat to planet Earth. Cpt. Kirsty Buchanan is far from convinced.

New Main Range 19 - Saving The Death
Doctor: 12th
Companion: Bill
Description: The Doctor receives a distress call in the TARDIS, one coming from another dimension, a place he has visited before. The Matrix created by Missy as a form of afterlife (the Nethersphere from “Dark Water”) is under siege by an unknown virus. The Doctor and Bill manage to access the Matrix from the TARDIS as “virtual avatars of themselves.”
There, they discover that the Digitarians have infiltrated this realm and begun to “kill the dead,” appearing and destroying every “soul” they touch. Their goal is to claim the Matrix as their new home. The Doctor confesses that this place was created by Missy, which sparks Bill’s interest—realizing that not only does an afterlife exist, but that the woman trapped beneath her university was the one who built it. However, when Bill is touched by a Digitarian and her avatar dies, Bill falls into a coma in the real world. Now taking it personally, the Doctor gains access to the “source code” and, within it, manages to load a previous version of the Matrix and confine the Digitarians to a “separate folder” where they can begin anew. The digital version of Bill comes back to life, and the real Bill awakens from her coma.
Main range number 20: Pretty as a picture
Doctor: 7th
Companion: ace & Raine
Description: “some art makes you think, some portraits make you laugh, some people are as pretty as a picture so let’s paint them into a picture” - the artist
After there adventures earth aid Raine, ace & seven decide to go on a lovely sea side holiday on the planet Lazuli but while 7 and ace are lapping up the sun and waves Raine is more interested in a gallery by the sea
When people on the planet start to go missing and the galleries new collection of items arrive suspiciously after each disappearance is there any hope to stop the artist at work or will the doctor be drawing a blank to save his companions from being pretty as a picture
(My first ever written fan fic thing be kind
)
I like it! It’s good, always good to give more Stories to Raine ![]()
Main Range Number 21 - Doctor Who and the most cool Adventure against the Trods
Doctor: 1st, (with the 2nd Doctor taking over the Story after the first 2 Parts)
Companions: John & Gillian
Set: Somewhere where the TV Comics take place
Description: Doctor Who was a kind old Man travelling through Space with his two Grandchildren, but Doctor Who has to find out that the Trods have taken over anything. “Oh no, Doctor Who what should we do?!” Now Doctor Who and his brave Grandchildren have to defeat the Trods, but oh no, Doctor Who gets hurt and turns into a new Man! And things seem to be much more complicated than they first seem to be.. Are those Grandchildren really real? And is this World really real? Who knows, certainly not Doctor Who.
Basically I think this Story would start out as your typical TV Comic Adventure, but as it progresses the real goings-on are revealed. Where it would later be revealed that the Doctor isn’t in the real World, but rather in the Land of Fiction, similar to another Story really, which is Conundrum
I love the concept, I always enjoy it when “lesser-known” companions from the expanded media come back and continue their adventures.
Thank you, not my own Concept (as mentioned above there), that said I do love something to fully go out there as a homage to those lesser known Comics, I think you can do something really fun with expanding this Idea hah!
New Main Range 21 – Greybeard And His New Treasure
Doctor: 13th
Companions: Yaz, Dan, Ellie, Henry (New Companion)
Set Between: Instantly Post Ahead of Our Time
Description: Ellie’s first trip in the TARDIS takes her to a pirate ship during the Golden Age of Piracy, where the entire TARDIS team is captured. The pirates, led by the infamous “Captain Greybeard,” take them to a nearby island to sell the TARDIS as if it were treasure. Dan, in particular, is taken as the crew’s jester and given “special treatment.”
The Doctor, Ellie, and Yaz remain prisoners, but manage to escape when a young pirate named Henry takes pity on them and unlocks their chains—on the sole condition that they take him with them in the TARDIS. He is tired of enduring his crewmates’ mockery and claims to have seen Ellie in his dreams. The Doctor, ellie and Yaz are freed, but the pirates turn the tables and take Dan hostage. The Doctor attempts to bargain for Dan’s life, but when least expected, Henry strikes Greybeard from behind, allowing the group to rush aboard the TARDIS and escape together. Greybeard survives, however, and swears vengeance should he ever again see a blue box appear before his eyes…
New Main Range 22 – Kaleidoscopic Memory
Doctor: 12th
Companions: None
Set Between: The Return of Doctor Mysterio, The Pilot.
Description: Kaleidoscope Jones used to be on top of the world. He had many top charting songs, and was known around the world. But one day, something happened. His work, and be extension his life faded, and was forgotten by everyone. Then came The Doctor. Every bad day he had, a different man called The Doctor would be there to make his day. But all good things come to an end, and The Doctor hates goodbyes.
Synopsis: The Doctor, first meeting Jones in his 2nd incarnation, decided to make it a tradition to visit him. As he’s currently traveling solo, he decides to pay him a visit. Jones is in bad health, however, and he can’t stop wishing his work existed again. The Doctor takes Jones to a planet where you can make music and a immersive world from your memories. The Doctor and Jude walk through the past and the music, helping him to hear and experience it again. But near the end, he suffers from a heart attack. He dies in The Doctor’s arms, but The Doctor had known this would happen the whole time. He had put off this day for many incarnations, but he finally decided to say goodbye. The story ends on a bittersweet note, as The Doctor heads off, the audio ending with a 60s remix of the Doctor Who theme. No monsters, just a story about moving on.
I love it, it feels original and sad. I’d really like to be able to hear it as an audio.
