thisbluespirit: (DW - Eight)
[personal profile] thisbluespirit posting in [community profile] who_straybunnies
Time for another discussion post!

This time it's the Eighth Doctor and his era, probably the strangest in DW - he stands as a bridge between Doctor Who Old and New, not quite one or the other and for a Doctor who only had one brief outing, his separate adventures in different media cover quite a huge period with many characters, most of them equally worthy of fic.

And that's even before we get to New Who's burdening this seemingly most light-hearted of Doctors with the horror of the Time War off-screen and the opportunities that presents for creative fans...

What fic (or other fanworks) are you wanting to see more of for Eight and his era? Any more Eight in general, ships, companions, crossovers, genres - what do you think? (Don't forget any ideas shared here will get linked back to the masterpost and included in the selection for Prompt of the Month, so you never know - sometimes Stuff Happens...)

Well, I can't promise to finish this within the month or anything but I might borrow a few of your random pairings...

I might be compiling a big pile of stuff to write... (I still have a massive backlog of stuff on my computer that I'm supposed to finish... oops)

several of these are quite relevant to my interests... :)

nothing is saying WRITE ME but a lot of them say READ ME. so... i hope there is more.

as for what eight fic i want: more EDA and BFA fic in generally, really. i'd specifically like some more compassion stuff, i think, and obviously more charley and lucie fun times.

Me, I'm not fussy, I'll happily settle for all (or any!) of the following, whether gen or shippy:

Eight + Romana II, Sarah Jane, Liz Shaw, the Brig, Martha Jones, Benny Summerfield, Lucie Miller, Charley Pollard

or combinations of trios of the above.
