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...)
As ever, to kick everything off, here's a motley selection of ideas from the Random Pairing Generator (I think I've managed to get a reasonable selection across the TVM, Big Finish, the EDAs and the DWM comic strips):

Grace Holloway / Liz Shaw / back and forth
Grace Holloway / Amy Pond / a swordfight

Tamsin Drew / The TARDIS / grandfather paradox

Date: 2013-03-02 02:48 pm (UTC)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.

or combinations of trios of the above.
