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.

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.)

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*

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! :-)

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"?
