Doctor Who Writing Tasks

[firebreathingfishies]

With the end of series four looming, me and Beachy have decided to do this as a bit of fun (and because now we're obsessed ).

The general idea is that every week everyone will take turns to suggest an idea, whether it be a couple of words, a sentence, a quote or whatever and from that everyone has to write a one-shot with the topic as inspiration. It can be as long or as short as you like and as long as people can see a link with the suggestion, it can be about damn near anything. But bear in mind it's not a competition, it's not about who writes the best one, it's just to see what people come up with, so don't get competative

Keep it to the ninth and tenth Doctors because not everyone has seen the old ones, although I suppose there's nothing wrong with mentioning the old Doctors, just don't expect everyone to get the reference Use any companions, maybe even make up your own - whatever tickles your pickle I mean, this might just end up being me and Beachy (which we won't mind because we'll need something to keep ourselves sane after Saturday) But if anyone else is interested in joinin in just let us know and it'll probably kick off on Sunday.

That's if we're actually in a fit state

Sunday sounds like a wonderful day to start. Also, depending what happens tomorrow night - I (we) might be a tad hysterical. Considering I'm currently rather upset watching season one of the new series...god knows how I'll (we'll) cope.

I look forward to it and these challenges! Expect a lot of Rose and the Doctor stuff on my part, lol.

Funnily enough I was thinking of starting up something very similar for Lost writing! But RL has near enough barred me from the forum for any great periods of time lately and I haven't had the chance to. But maybe in a few weeks or so I might, since it will at least be something to do during the hiatus.

But anyway, I watch DW and can't wait for tonight's final but I've never written anything based on it and actually very rarely read DW fiction, so I might just be reading what people write here, since this is a good idea to get going!

Ah great minds think alike Ki Yeah a Lost thing would be mint! I'd be up for that. Lol real life? What's that? I've got loads of time on my hands what with uni over and everyone buggering off home for the summer

Just lurk for a while, and then join in lol. Doesn't matter if you don't know anything about the show, there's loads of stuff I can't remember

[Kiowa Warrior]

(Oh fbf, why did you have to bring back that awful Jack sig of yours? )

Yes, both our minds are indeed great! Even better than great if you really think about it... but yeah a similar thing for Lost would be quite good I reckon, where people take it in turns to put forward a quote, a screen cap, a couple of key words, almost anything they want as a starter for inspiration, then you have a week to write however much you like relating to that focus.
And I wish I had lots of time on my hands, but they've been too busy trying to get all my work done But I should have more free time and less stress soon which will be very nice.

Yeah I will keep up to date with this and read whatever people write at the least. Unlike Lost I don't watch each DW episode multiple times, so I'm not as confident with regards to knowledge about the characters or the actual setting of the show. But who knows, maybe I will have a go at writing it just to see!

Ooooh sounds fun, especially since I'm bored of the summer hols already and need something to keep my brain alive. I'm bored of being lazy

[firebreathingfishies]

(lol just to annoy people )

Oh yes, so great it's scary lol. You know, I think I remember you saying you were going to do that for Lost, so I probably just had it embedded in my subconscious lol! So technically, I stole your idea
And it's not fun having so much time on your hands. I've got so much of nothing to do, I've been hanging around all day waiting for Doctor Who to start tonight I couldn't even go out very far because it's like torrential downpour outside.

Cool Although I've only seen all of the episodes once (but I have a good memory ) and I've only just started watching them again from the begining yesterday. Just as long as you know who the Doctor is I'm sure anyone can write it You should have a go at some point, because I think it's just me and Beachy at the minute!

[firebreathingfishies]

Well done Monster, you made the right choice

[monster-eats-pilot]

Well I need to do something to stimulate my brain other than watching Lost

[Beach Crew]

Oooo, awesome. We have more people involved. Well, possibly, lol. This is all very exciting.

I'm worried about how we'll respond to this after tonights episode though, lol.
