Am I allowed to post plotbunnies here?
This came to me as I was tossing and turning in the heat the other night. (Yes, while the rest of the world freezes, Australia is experiencing a prolonged heatwave. %-) Anyway, since I'll probably won't have time to write it, here's my plotbunny:
The Master - any version - gets stuck in some technologically backward part of Earth's history - preferably sometime after the invention of writing but before the Industrial Revolution. He's without his Tardis, his TCP or his laser screwdriver, or any of his favourite tools/toys, and lacks the means of bootstrapping the technology. He decides to blow a hole in one of those "fixed points of history" the Doctor worries about, knowing that it will bring the Doctor (any version!) running...
(Hmmm... giving the Aztecs gunpowder? Assassinating Queen Elizabeth I? Helping the Persians to win at Marathon? Author's choice... )
What do people think?
