What you do is put characters or pairings you want, then a quote or a line from a song and someone writes a fic inspired by or containing that quote. I think it would make an awesome meme.
For example: Any Doctor/Any female Companion: "That was another country and besides the wench is dead."
That's how a typical prompt would go. The Fic would go in the comments. You could be Anon or not. It would be fun!
Victoria Beckham hears David shouting in frustration, and so runs in the games room, where David is hunched over a table, with his fists clenched and his head bowed.
"What's the matter, babe?" she asks.
"It's this jigsaw. I just can't make it look like the picture on the box."
"What's it meant to be?"
"A rooster. I've got some of the beak, and a bit of the sun in the background, but I can't get the rest of it at all."
"David?"
"Yes, dear?"
"That's a box of cornflakes."
So what the heck has this got to do with Doctor Who, I hear you ask.
Well it struck me that the joke is a perfect metaphor for the concept of 'canon' in Who.
The people who try and construct a 'canon' for a show written by dozens of writers over the best part of half a century may think they're working on an incredibly elaborate puzzle, but really they've just covered their desk in cereal.

It's tiny, but hey, it's something!
( Spoilers for end of Season 4 )
but has there been a comment about how many Doctors are left?
( season finale spoilers )
Thank you everyone. I can stop beating my head against Google now.
The Doctor Who finale is listed as the "Must watch of the week" and they gave the episode an A-

( For those who want to read what they said about the episode... )
I'm kinda surprised they gave such a positive review on Doctor Who after the horrible one they gave on Torchwood starting up again a few months back. Anyway, it's nice to see some appreciation for this show!
Could you give me some names of other "celebrity" Whovians? Were any of you surprised when you found out that particular person was a fan?

From the BBC website:
- The woman behind the Dr Who theme tune
As the very first ever Dr Who themed prom concert takes place this Sunday, Woman’s Hour looks at the life and work of Delia Derbyshire the woman behind the distinctive theme tune. Delia Derbyshire was an eccentric, charismatic and talented composer who, although relatively unknown during her life, is now enjoying cult status. Jane speaks to sound engineer Dick Mills and composer Elizabeth Parker, who both worked at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop where Delia worked for eleven years.
Does anyone know of a Doctor Who Community for facts and trivia, specifically for us fanfic writers who can't remember exactly what the time rotor is called, or where the Doctor stashed his jelly babies?
This Sunday, Doctor Who comes to the BBC Proms for a very special musical celebration.
To coincide with this exciting event, we'll be updating the site with information about the Prom and links to BBC Radio 3 where you can listen to it live.
You'll be able to see the concert play list, interesting facts and a chance to view the specially filmed scene written by Russell T Davies and starring David Tennant that will be played during the Prom.
Due to rights, the clip will only be made available for a short period of time, so make sure you come back to the website at 11:40am on Sunday to see it.
The Doctor Who Prom 2008 will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 at 11:00am and you can also listen to it on BBC iPlayer after the concert.

First Bit - Fluffy Monstrosity
SUMMARY: Martha Jones and the no good, very bad day. With big dresses, mud, a manual called 'So You Lack Bridezilla Genes!', and space snot.
( Warning - Purple dancing Daleks. )
Did anyone catch that? The show was great, though I'm not sure how much we can discuss it in this comm, however one thing is definitely worth mention:
I had no idea John slips into almost perfect scottish accent whenever he's near his parents. It was FREAKY...
Just how many more secret scottish accents are there on Doctor Who? :P
By: me
Pairing/characters: The Doctor (10), TARDIS (for now)
Disclaimer: I have really awesome editors (
Summary: The TARDIS realises how lonely the Doctor is, and does everything in her power to help him. Part one of a (long) series. This will be the shortest chapter of the series. Kinda like a prelude. For now, the story will have the TARDIS and the Doctor as the main characters, but as the story progresses, more Who characters will arrive.
The story is at my fic journal.

36 DOCTOR WHO ICONS @
I tried to use none-spoilery teasers. Hope these are okay.
I was wondering if the episodes now on iTunes are the US cutdowns or the original BBCOne versions, because when I was looking at the run time for "The Family of Blood," it's listed as 39:31. I thought that sounded way too short and pulled up my BBC copy of the episode, which clocks in at 42:55 including credits/next episode preview and 41:48 without the credits/next episode preview.
Same thing with "Gridlock":
iTunes listing: 40:32
BBCOne version with credits: 44:56
BBCOne version without teaser/credits: 43:32
It's not like that with all episodes though. "Human Nature" only has a six-second difference between the BBCOne version and the iTunes listed version.
And also, "Doctor Who and Star Trek fans have been banned from having sci-fi merchandise signed by David Tennant and Patrick Stewart while they star in Hamlet." Again from the BBC. I'm not refreshing the news front page, honest.
Discusses the issues of DW being a "children's show," his influences, and gives away absolutely nothing about upcoming story lines, other than the fact that it will change.
Spoiler for the end of season 4, but nothing for season 5 - just discussion and some insight into the mind of the Moff!
from here (with additional pretty pictures!)
EDITED to fix wacky html..sry about that!
Thanks to
The page of dialogue was printed in this weeks DWM, and I've helpfully posted it to my journal.
(With credited modifications and thanks to everyone who added something.)
Note: I am closing this now. We're going to need an AA intervention as it is!
( Read more )
I think my two favorite choices would have to be:
Sally Sparrow (Blink): I don't know why, I just think we could see a bit more from her.
Jenny (The Doctor's Daughter): I think she'd be pretty cool, though probably some competition for thw Doctor maybe? ^-^
Also I was thinking of a few monsters that I think should return.
So far I've only really thought of the weeping angels.
And we know for certain the cybermen are returning, maybe some other old enemy will return? *wink*
( An amazing trailer using clips from the S3/S4 finales )
Obviously this would never happen, but I thought we could have our own silly discussion :)
