doyleI'm enjoying the hell out of people's 10 Bits of My Personal Doctor Who Fanon, so I will add to the memeiness while I wait for the burnination lab to open (I'm pushing for my lab to be officially called a Hall of Burnination instead of the Fire Science Laboratory or whatever it is now):
1. Peri is either dead and the Master is lying (what a shock that would be) or she did marry Ycarnos and dragged him back to Earth, where they now live in Peri's mother's basement until Peri finishes university and Ycarnos finds a job he can hold down for more than three days without getting sacked for disemboweling those who displease him and SHOUTING A LOT. Mrs Brown is bewildered by this whole thing, but relieved that Peri wasn't, in fact, murdered by her stepfather in Lanzarote, as she'd previously believed.
1a. The Doctor chooses to believe the Master was telling the truth and she didn't die after all. He's never got up the courage to go and find her just in case he's wrong.
2. Eight's adopted daughter Miranda in the EDA Father Time (she's the daughter of a despot in the far future who's strongly implied to be the Doctor) is a paradoxical offspring of Ten and Rose in a universe where he accepted the Godmaker in School Reunion and things promptly went to hell.
3. There's a gap between Girl in the Fireplace and Rise of the Cybermen where Rose went to spend the night at her mum's; Ten's being so cliquey with her at the start of RotC because from his point of view he hasn't seen her for months. Mickey's narked at suddenly being ignored after all the adventures they've had while she's been gone.
3a. Similar convenient episode gaps mean that Nyssa and Turlough had many more solo adventures with Five than it would appear onscreen.
3b. But it still wasn't long enough for Five to work himself up to things getting a bit more romantic with Nyssa, hence his "shit" facial expression when Tegan rejoined them and he realised Nyssa would once more be sharing a bedroom.
4. Rather than rent a flat in their 1969 sojourn, Ten and Martha did the round of ex-companions' spare rooms, to the bemusement of Ian'n'Babs, Ben'n'Polly, and Victoria.
5. Romana had a relationship with Four but dumped him because it was getting a bit serious (he was dropping alarming hints about going back to Gallifrey and after having seen a fraction of the wonders of the universe she didn't fancy chaining herself to a deskjob and a couple of kids, especially once Adric turned up to show her what said kids would be like); later on she had an amused fling with Eight. After that, though, she was All About Leela.
5a. Also, she's Ded From Time War. Everybody's dead, Dave. Romana, Susan, Brax, Narvin, Flavia, all the Time Lords we saw in the old series. Deader than dead. Including the renegades.
6. Eight's last companion refused to leave him when the Time War started and died. I go back and forth on whether I think this was Lucie or Fitz, but tend to go for Fitz as he's my favourite (plus, then I can claim Nine's wearing his coat.)
7. Five years after Doomsday, Rose has a baby sister, a gorgeous boyfriend or girlfriend (who by astonishing coincidence is someone the audience has met in the real universe, even if Rose hasn't), and a provisional zeppelin license. She and Mickey and Jake are an awesome Earth-defending trio. She still thinks about the Doctor, but nowadays it just makes her smile.
8. By 2007 Jo has been married three times (her first marriage to Cliff broke up by a combination of that cursed sapphire Three gave her for a wedding present and that skinny guy in a pinstripe suit who turned up at the church - she assumed he was some relative of Cliff's - and who she got off with at her own wedding reception.) She runs an environmentalist group in Cardiff; even she was slightly surprised when the proposed nuclear power planet didn't go ahead because the Mayoress suddenly vanished into thin air.
8a. It goes without saying that her son with Cliff Jones is called Ianto. Jo believes he works for the tourist board.
9. Despite the implication that there are no Time Lords in any other universe, there were Time Lords (and Daleks) in Pete's world. Lumic's old partner, Henry Van Statten, bought at auction an alien who'd been found injured decades ago, supposedly the last of its kind. When he saw his new purchase he was frightened at first that he'd been sold a human being, until he saw it die and completely change in appearance.
10. When Two says his family 'sleeps in his mind' he doesn't mean they're dead; he's just pretty sure Susan's parents aren't going to be very happy with him for running off with their very young daughter and then leaving her to be a child-bride in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Even during the Time War with Susan back on Gallifrey he still hadn't heard the end of it.
11. Torchwood was around the whole time in the old series, including during Three's Earth exile. He never noticed. Even when posters for the annual UNIT/Torchwood five-a-side football match were all over the canteen.
And a bonus piece of SJA fanon:
1. That's not the score. Mr Smith really does blare out that fanfare every time he starts.
2. Ten years from now Maria's travelling with the Doctor, Clyde's with UNIT and Luke is building a TARDIS in his kitchen.
