livii is running a ficathon for post-Doomsday Rose-centric gen. It's a 750 word limit and you'll be feeding my desire for alt!Torchwood adventures, which means it's practically a public service.

I need to write my romanathon entry. Well, I need to finish this data inputting stuff for work that's breaking my brain. But I want to be writing my Romanathon story.

Speaking of ficathons, the way lifeonmartha's going, I foresee Martha Jones being the first character to have a ficathon before she's ever appeared onscreen if I have to run it myself, so help me, I will. ETA: I have no self control.

There has been a wave of ficathons lately, haven't there? Still, it might get some entertaining stuff written.

And if the Martha ficathon happened, I would be highly amused and read every last one of them.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

It would amuse me so much. Though would I ask for Martha/Rose, Martha with old school companions in the present day (because the idea of her as the metaphorical Magrat to Sarah and Jo's Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg gives me joy) or just a gen historical adventure with Zygons? Decisions!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Someone so should write a fic with the Doctor, Martha and Harry, just for all the Doctor gags.

But the Magrat comparison is the bestest thing ever.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Martha and Harry!! And Martha could start to worry that the Doctor has a weird fetish for collecting medical professionals!

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I would so read that. It'd be brilliant.

Hmmm... what other medical types has the Doctor travelled with?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Hex in the audios is a nurse and Nyssa leaves to treat plague sufferers.

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I should have remembered those...

Someone needs to write up a whole heap of crack "Martha meets up with other companions" fics.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Maybe the various Doctors always take their companions to one particular party, forgetting he's been here dozens of times before *g* (One of the Short Trips books has all the companions stuck in a shrinking TARDIS and having to argue over which one of them should be the one survivor - yes, it's the exact plot of the Father Ted episode with the crashing plane, for anyone in the UK - and it's hilarious. And turns out to be fanfic written by Sarah Jane.)

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

I must read that story. Like, yesterday. *dies and is dead*

(But Sarah Jane so would write Doctor-related fanfic, you just know it)

Hmm, there's a challenge idea: rather than a ficathon, post a list of companions for people to claim the crackier the fic, the better...

[drakyndra.livejournal.com]

Well, there's already that Martha and Turlough one...

[melata-fic.livejournal.com]

This should be the ficathon. Clearly. *amused by the thought*

[paratti.livejournal.com]

Liz Shaw says she has a medical degree too, on top of her other qualifications.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Oh, good point!

Doctors Shaw, Jones and Sullivan would be the best TARDIS team ever. Best to have around in a medical emergency, anyway...

[kijikun.livejournal.com]

Think of the Doctor jokes that could be made!

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

Does Grace count? GINGER GRACE!

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I forgot Grace!

So if we count the audios and handwave Dr Evelyn Smythe in even though she's not a medical Doctor, all of them except the first two have a thing for medical types or people called 'doctor'. Hmm...

[gwynnega]

Well, considering Grace killed the Doctor, you had a good reason to forget her, medically speaking! :-)

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Also, I am seriously thinking about the Marthathon, or rather a mini-ficathon with a really tiny turnaround time (a week, say) and a minimum word count of 500: do you think it would cause wank? I don't want people to think I'm being a Mean Rose H8er (because I'm not, I just think it'd be funneh).

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

We'd get a lot of Companion Settling In fic?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

Unless we banned discouraged it?

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

What about fic where it turns out she's Rose?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

*thinks* I wouldn't want to blanket-ban it because then out of fairness I'd have to say "no fic where she turns out to be the Master."

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

"Martha has to be Martha and not some other character IN DISGUISE"?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

That works, since the whole point would be the lols challenge of writing a character who hasn't appeared in canon yet, and making her Rose/Romana/Jack is cheating.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

Yus for true.

What about fic where the Doctor just angsts about Rose?

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

It would be banned omg. As would Rose-bashing.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

Could you ban the word "ministrations"?
