best_enemies | Intro Digest 10: "All Doctors are equal, but some are more equal than others."

anadapta0801

Felicitations!

I'm Anadapta, although I don't remember most of it, the Who has been strong in me since I was nine, and I believe these things:

a) All Doctors are equal, but some are more equal than others.
b) Who takes place in the same universe as The Hitchhiker's Guide. There is ample evidence for this.
c) The Master, while undeniably domestic, will never be capable of peacable cohabitation with the Doctor (and vice versa), but this does not mean that non-canon iterations of said cohabitation do not make me unfeasibly happy.

Otherwise I have no specific fanon, but rather a set of often mutually exclusive preferences which shift themselves to encompass just about anything a writer's willing to throw at them. I suppose I enjoy the fluidity of Who fandom and Doctor/Master in particular; in my fairly limited experience fics can range from the fluffiest of fluff, the most warped of crack or the most soul-annihilating darkfic (occasionally within the same work) without being any less valid, any less the characters as depicted onscreen. The infinite variety of the characters is reflected in the infinite validity of the fanworks, is what I think I mean.

That makes no sense, does it. Anyway, ta.

*is really, really late*

Yeah, I've been hanging around, not doing much, but... y'know... being here and I haven't properly introduced myself, so... I should get on that.

'Lo, I'm... Demon, and I... like D/M... a LOT. I ship... just about EVERY combination out there. My personal OTP though is Three/Delgado!Master there is NOTHING truer than that. My first was Ten/Simm!Master though so that has a special place in my hearts. Those are the only two I've actually gotten around to writing, weeeeellll... not exactly true, I have written Theta/Koschei, not very adult or anything, but, y'know, as far as I'm concerned it's always been the two of them together and it always will be.

Um... yeah... as I said breaking timelines for a quick paradox shag is not a problem in my book. In fact, did that once in a very complicated RP that had brief Ten/Delgado!Master and Three/Simm!Master... honestly, I want to see more Ten/Delgado!Master 'cause... that would SO work, ZOMR, Ten would LOVE it. Three/Simm!Master... well... Simmy ended up doing a bad and kinda broke Three... it was BAD... so... Three is not fond of that particular Master in my mind, but I'm always willing to try again. Oh, for future reference, in RP, I'm ALWAYS the Master ~~and sometimes the Brig~~.

Cheers! Hope I can be of use with fic and such around here :3.

Hi, I'm Zaf (Zaffie, Zaffers, Z, 'hey bitch'). I'm painfully new to Doctor Who, though I used to work with the younger brother of the actress who played Vicki with the 1st Doctor. He (my co-worker, not the Doctor) spent two years trying to get me to watch it, but alas, college and my three jobs got in the way. And I thought it sounded silly. *ducks*

And then my husband ([info]brokenangelred) forced me to watch Ten's seasons on pain of Slow Painful Death. I cried a lot at all the intense bits and proclaimed my love by the end of the first season. I dislike Rose. Donna breaks my heart. Eleven would be better if the writers stopped pretending he was David Tennant.

I'm now working on classic Who, starting with Five because he is pretty and I am shallow. I'm also knitting a cricket jumper so my spouse doesn't lose interest in my tits with all D/M slashfic he's inhaling.

I also overshare so I'll stop myself here.

Hello! Been lurking for a while now (chronic lurker, me) and thought it was About Time I said Hi and joined in officially because, well, this seems such a nice, friendly-seeming comm that even someone as cripplingly shy as me might feel comfortable with it... And you have Discussions. Real discussions, proper discussions.... *misty eyes*

Although I'm presently working my way through anything of the Old Series that I can get my hands on (and loving it) my introduction to DW was the new series. Strangely though, I didn't really fall into the Pit of Ridiculous Obsession until the end of series Four, when the trauma of the finale quite unexpectedly had me writing my first fan-fiction ever, originally in order to set it right and "bring Donna back dammit" - only to discover that, suspiciously, the best way my brain could think of to do this was by first bringing the Master back and having him claim total dominion over seven out of ten chapters... Oh, well. *resignation* He is simply such a gorgeous character to write, though, isn't he?

As for personal fanon... Well - I'm mostly a slave to canon (although, frankly, given the delightful level of ambiguity of DW canon, that's not really a limitation, is it) but if I were to pick one piece of canon that I'd go ridiculous lengths to explain away, it's that "I Forgive You" bit in LotTL, because it's just awful, regardless of whether you ship D/M or not. Despite having read several good interpretations of that scene, here and elsewhere, I have yet to be reconciled with it. My best shot so far is that the Master was totally expecting the Doctor to say something else, and all that the Master does after is done in state of a.) disbelief at the Doctor's stupidity for not even being able to get the Master's worst fear right, and b.) self-mocking resignation at his own stupidity for having believed otherwise.

Well. You can just about see it if you squint.

Hi all! Diciple here, spelled wrong because it was already taken the first time I used the name, and kept up because otherwise I would forgot.

I got started on Ten/Simms!Master because, well, that was the first time I saw the two of them. (Still is, actually, but I am desperately trying to get me some Classic Who.)I love all kinds of Doctor/Master, but my favorites tend to be Ten/Simms!Master and Theta/Koschei. I have a thing with school boys, no matter what Academy they go to.

Fic wise, I've done well, one completed and two in-progress, both Ten/Simms!Master.

My personal fanon?

*The Doctor totally bolted on the Master and is now paying the price. He's has already admitted that he's always running!

*The Master does what he does because he wants the Doctor's attention so he can show him how 'over' him he is.

*The Master always has other motives. Having sex might be/always is one of them.

*Whenever the Doctor is on top, it means they are working through something.

*The Master's greatest fear is the Doctor dieing.

*The Doctor's greatest fear is that the Master knows him too well to believe any of the lies he tells, especially to himself.

Well, guess that's it. Heh.
