50th Anniversary Fanwork-a-thon-a-thon, Round Six: Six
(Secondary prompt: The Time Lords)We've barely scratched the surface yet of Round Five, but there's no time to lose. That 50th Anniversary is bearing down on us like a greased Myrka in a narrow corridor so we'd better move on and get preparing for the next leg of our 'thon-of-'thons. In fact, we
are moving on, as the man himself would say (smirking straight to camera) whether you like it or not. ;)
(Remember, though, if you're still working on entries for prior legs - please, please still post your works to the comm whenever they are finished - the way I see it, it's quite literally a case of the more the merrier)
And with an opening line like that, it was probably a given that the next in our procession of Doctors wasn't necessarily going to be easy to get on with. Few could have suspected, however, what was to come - extreme regeneration trauma, extremely nasty attempted companion-murder (because, you know, it's a kids' show!) and, perhaps most horrifying of all, apart from the (imho!) generally pretty ropy initial couple of stories, the Coat... After that shaky start, though, June's Doctor went on to have a brief but not entirely fruitless television career, before, many would argue, finding redemption in the realms of audio. Throughout, he was a man of principle and intellect, a lover of words and on occasion James Bondian quips, a striker of poses and a non-glad-sufferer of fools. He certainly has an ego (but he's not the only Doctor to have one of those!) and a tendency to overdramatise things (ditto!), and at times it does seem that he and his companions tend to argue, mainly, but underneath it all, we have increasingly come to suspect, beat twin hearts of gold. Not that he'd like you to know that, probably. You know who we're talking about. It's:
And I know some of you may very well be working on things for
sixathon, which coincidentally I believe is also due to start posting things in June. If anybody wanted to crosspost those things over here too to contribute to our own month of Six, I certainly wouldn't say no!
And once again, we have a secondary theme for those of you who like to explore other possibilities. And for June 2013, that will be...
( The Time LordsCollapse )I hope that somewhere in all of the above you will each find something to get your creative juices flowing. If so, please express your wish to participate in the comments to this post. I would love it if you could name a date too (list provided below) as it helps spread the contributions out over the whole month, but it is not an absolute requirement for those of you who prefer to play it by ear.
( The DaysCollapse )Oh, I suppose it's probably worthwhile familiarising yourselves with what I like to call the rules:
( The Rules!Collapse )Anyway, that's all I have to say. The rest I leave in your hands. :)
