And the TARDIS lands...

[thisbluespirit]

It's well past time for another discussion post, and I thought I'd re-run the crossover one we had many moons ago, because time moves on and people discover ad new TV shows/books etc, and it is one of the delights of fan fiction, after all. Crossing fandoms is one thing that can only rarely be done by the sources themselves. And Doctor Who with its simple go-anywhere, anytime premise is built for the possibility more than most TV shows.

So, what crossover fanfic would you love to see? What is there not enough of, or not with the Doctor/companion you'd have gone for?

I'm with several other people I know in waiting for the first Downton Abbey/Doctor Who crossover. (Don't people realise that Violet is just waiting for her chance to fight off some aliens?)

What do you all think? (As ever, any suggestions in the comments below will be added to the ever-growing list of prompts.)

You know, there's a fairly common recurring prompt of "Mary Poppins is a Time Lady", because of the carpetbag, but I recently concluded that Mary Poppins is actually more like Chrestomanci. For reasons.

So, by a subtle and complicated process known as "violently wresting the topic back to Doctor Who" (yes I'm in a weird mood), I should like to see Chrestomanci meet the Doctor. Any Doctor. One, for instance; the amount of name-fluffing alone would probably set new records. O_O ;-)

Or Six, for the compare-and-constrast of their senses of fashion.

O. M. G. YES.

...this needs to be a fanart now. *goes and makes thinkyfaces at sketchpad*

(Lost_spook, is this a fic-only comm, or does fanart count as a prompt fill? And has this question already been answered and I'm just blanking? ;P)

I think this may have been asked already... and I don't know what I said. :lol:

However, I think my response can only be this - if you or anyone gets inspired to fanart a prompt; they're up here for the taking. Link to the post in the normal way & it'll be included in the updates, but because this has been a fic-related comm, I wouldn't cross that prompt off the list. Not that there's any thing less valid about art - ! - but just because the two are different types of responses & even if we changed policy, all the ideas up till now have been fic prompts. I can't see anyone objecting to unexpected art fills, though.

I'll probably have to see what people think sometime, because it would be an interesting thing to raise.

Or basically, if you feel like sketching Six and Chrestomanci, DO NOT LET ANYTHING STOP YOU! ;-D
