Welcome to who_straybunnies. It's a space for any Doctor Who-related fanwork ideas you're not planning to create yourself. Exorcise that idea that's been haunting you by donating it to this comm!

It's also a place to pick up inspiration in the wild by taking somebody else's prompt. All prompts can be claimed as many times as people wish and new prompts are welcome at any time. There are, of course, equally no guarantees that prompts will be used - but you never know!

Discussion of the ideas and general batting them back and forwards in the comments is great, too.

If you create a fanwork for a prompt, please post to the comm using this template:

<b>Author</b>: <lj user=> <b>Title</b>: <a href=> </a> <b>Rating</b>: All ages <b>Word Count</b> <b>Characters/Pairings</b>: <b>Plot Bunny donor</b>: <lj user= > <a href=>HERE</a>. <b>Summary</b>:

However, please do remember to also post a link as a comment to the original post - that way the donor should be more likely to see it.

Please don't post any fic unrelated to any of the 'plotbunnies' donated here.

Guidelines for posting unwanted ideas are here. All new prompts are welcome, no matter how quiet the community may be!

You can find the Prompt Masterlist here and the Fanworks Masterlist here.

There's a Doctor Who friending meme going on here:



And the poll about what you'd like to see on dw_straybunnies is still open if you want to leave your thoughts. And I shall hopefully put up a discussion post before the weekend is out. Regarding the poll, most people seem to like the idea of the holiday challenge, as last year, so there will be one! Of some kind... Thanks, everyone!

In a recent post, it was suggested that the Prompt of the Month challenge might be more likely to inspire people to post entries if we then voted on them and chose a winner.

I'm mostly a little disinclined to be competitive (I prefer everyone's stories being viewed as complementary), but if most people would prefer that, then that's how we'll do it.

(There are banners and icons for all particpiants if wanted, and I shall hopefully do improved ones for next time, anyway.)

[Poll #1709432]

(I find I rather love LJ polls - any excuse to have one...)

If you have a plot bunny you would like to abandon here, these are the guidelines.

What's welcome is pretty flexible - generally ideas you've had that you're not going to use yourself: abandoned WIPs, fics that sounded great and never quite worked, left-over prompts from ficathons, random ideas from that episode you've just seen, AUs, rare ships, challenges, that drabble you wanted to extend into a full story, or a fic idea you think no one could actually get away with.

If you're a reader rather than a writer, your prompts/ideas are equally welcome.

New Who, Classic Who, Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood and spin-off ideas are all on-topic. Anything that fits into the Whoniverse is fine, no matter how odd or obscure.

It does need to be your own idea, not somebody else's.
