Discussion Post - Seventh Doctor ideas

[thisbluespirit]

It must be time for another discussion post. After all, it's been at least a year and a half, and we hadn't even got through all the Doctors - and now we've got another one! Doesn't time fly, even when you're not having fun? More seriously, your terminally errant mod has finally got to grips with some things that were getting in the way & hopefully should at least be able to post more regular discussions again. In the meantime, the comm is still, as ever, open for the donating of prompts and writing of fic for them.

Anyway, more of that anon, for now, we're here to talk about the Seventh Doctor! From lovable clown to dark manipulator and all things in between, he had a TV run that was cut short, but an extended life in other media, especially the New Adventures, and there's plenty to play with.

So, what Seventh Doctor fics would we like to see exist? Are you after more Ace, feel that Mel never gets a chance to shine, or missing Chris and Ros, or Doctor-era Benny? Can there ever be enough Hex, Raine, or Elizabeth Klein for your liking? Got a few plotty ideas for adventures Seven ought to have had, or a love for guest characters of the era? Which other era's Doctors/companions/villains would you like to see Seven meet? Share them here! You never know - sometimes magical things happen...

As for me, I love all things Seven and Ace and could never be sorry with more of them, and it'd be fun to see them encounter Twelve and Clara. How about everyone else?

And in the time-honoured tradition, here's a few suggestions from the Random Pairing Generator to kick things off:


Liz Shaw / Seventh Doctor / cave-in
Seventh Doctor / Tegan Jovanka / the Pandorica
Seventh Doctor / Eleventh Doctor / summer
Seventh Doctor / Rosita / in the dark

Mel Bush / Tenth Doctor / silent
Mel Bush / Rassilon / innocent until proven guilty

Ace McShane / Toshiko Sato / dragons
Ace McShane / Chang Lee / burning
Ace McShane / Amy Pond / secret agents
Ace McShane / Eleventh Doctor / asking for a favor

Bernice Summerfield / Novice Hame / friendship
Bernice Summerfield / Romana II / shadows

Hex Schofield / Donna Noble / Japan
Hex Schofield / Nyssa / exile

Ancelyn / Brigadier Winifred Bambera / gender switch
Brigadier Winifred Bambera / Romana I / a locked door

The Master (Ainley) / Agatha Christie / miles to go

Kadiatu Lethbridge-Stewart / Jabe Ceth Ceth Jafe / transformed
Roz Forrester / Gwen Cooper / frozen
Chris Cwej / Wilfred Mott / 500 year diary
Chris Cwej / Sarah Jane Smith / a hurricane
Wolsey / Harry Sullivan / claustrophobia
Elizabeth Klein / The Valeyard / prey


(All prompts will go into the overall community collection of prompts... you never know!)

I'd also been very keen to see Seven and Ace meet up with Twelve and Clara. There are so many similarities and differences between them. I think that the resulting discussion and explosions would be fascinating.

I also keep trying and failing to write fic with Seven & Ace, Saphire & Steel, and Avon & Dayna running into each other in a haunted house with timey-wimey portals. Because wouldn't that be the most awesome cross-over ever?

*nods* Precisely what I was thinking!

And, wow, that would be an awesome crossover, yes. :-D

And are you still desperate for more Robin Hood and Twelve?

Ancelyn / Brigadier Winifred Bambera / gender switch

Presumably male☛Bambera would be played by Craig Charles. Not sure about female☛Ancelyn, though — Jennifer Saunders?

Ace McShane / Amy Pond / secret agents

The broken timeline from The Wedding of River Song would appear to have most of the bits for this...

Oh, and talking of random fun:

58) COUNTERFEIT PRINCESS by RAYE MORGAN
Mills & Boon Tender Romance
A promise to the King of Aleutia means that Crown Princess Romanadvoratrelundar must marry the man’s daughter. But the Princess in question is too busy having fun to settle down, so a temporary princess is hired to take her place…
So, Ace McShane, waitress, becomes Ace McShane – princess. And when the brooding, beautiful young Princess sweeps her off her feet she can't help but wish that she was princess for real…

Heh, I think those were the two random prompts that caught my attention the most as well. Amy & Ace, Secret Agents is particularly fun. :-D

Seventh Doctor / Wolsey / Vervoids
:D

There's a definite lack of Seven & Mel. Much as I love Seven & Ace, Mel gets shut out pretty badly. I'd also like to see more Seven & Mel & Ace or Seven and Hex in an adventure while Ace is off doing something else.

I think Seven and Jamie would really hit it off. (Seven and Sarah Jane as well.) Or imagine Seven dealing with Turlough.

How about more Hex-centric fic, with or without the Doctor around? Some Hex & Evelyn fic would be great.

Yes, you're right about Mel. Seven and Ace are hard to resist, though, but Seven's relationships with other people are always interesting as well.

Seven and Hex, too, because while I've only listened to a couple of Hex audios, in those and in the fics, Hex tends to be almost Ace's companion, at one remove from the Doctor. I don't know if that changes in the audios, but certainly it could use some exloration in fic. Though preferably by someone who's heard more audios than me!!
