Question of the week! Ponder it well.

Some people tend to seek out similar pairings in whatever fandom they're in; others find something entirely new in a new fandom. Is Doctor/Master like or unlike other pairings you ship? How/why? (Discuss)

This question courtesy of

x_los.

Hello hello. I forgot last week, and didn't remember until about Thursday when a good question about what we know about the Academy era was posted by someone else - so I thought that would probably do for a week.

But anyway - here is a question for this week. It's sort of fanfic-y related, as I was inspired by the last one:

What tropes do you particularly like from Doctor/Master fic? What have been too commmon? What tropes can you not see any reason for? In short - talk to me about Doctor/Master tropes!

You can comment anonymously if you like :)

Still Monday! Here's your question-

Excluding those shown on screen, what was the Master's most ridiculous disguise? And what did the Doctor do when he saw it?

aralias.livejournal.com

OK - so it's actually Tuesday. Never mind - here is this week's discussion question:

What Doctor/Master fanworks that don't currently exist do you wish did exist?

Some suggestions: anon meme prompts that aren't currently filled. Some general statement like 'more fanart' or a specific one like 'a fanvid to 'You're Really Growing On Me'' or a stop-motion fan vid, or a sequel to something. Or... something we don't really have at all like... jewellery. The choice is yours!

You can comment anonymously if you like. And feel free to fill other people's requests (in fact, it is encouraged).

Happy Monday everyone - it was a bank holiday in the UK today, so I almost forgot - but here's our discussion quest for the week.

What would a Doctor/Master episode by your favourite author be like? OR alternately - what would a Doctor or Master costume designed by your favourite artist/designer be like?

Hello all. I was away last week and totally forgot about the discussion challenge. But now we're back! From ~~outta space~~ Edinburgh, and here is your designated question of discussion.

It's 'Survival' themed, because today is Anthony Ainley and Sylvester McCoy's joint birthday:

If Doctor Who was ever to end - how would you want the final episode to go? AND (as a bonus extra question) if the Production Team had fully understood 'Survival' was to be the final episode of Doctor Who for a while/forever, how do you think it would be different? Discuss.

(Or, if that's too morbid for you, what would a joint-birthday party for the Doctor and the Master be like? Discuss).(I actually really love the ending of 'Survival' - it is surprisingly and quietly perfect)(but that doesn't mean I don't want to hear other ideas).

Which animal daemons would you assign to the Doctor and the Master? And would they change over regenerations? Discuss.

(Assuming that Doctor Who was in the same universe as 'His Dark Materials' there could be some awesome-cool stories about the Master trying to get ahold of the Subtle Knife for Evil Purposes and/or the Doctor trying to close the rift between dimensions/worlds. If you want to discuss that kind of thing you can.)

I must admit, as much as I like daemon-assigning, I did have to ask our over-mod

x_los whether this question was OK. She responded: it's a bit gaysauraus rex. which is ainley's animal fyi. but it'll do.

A cooler question next week ~~perhaps~~. For now, please be bringing the pictures of animals.

Back to the text this week for today's DISCUSSION QUESTION CHALLENGE THING:

What was the Master's worst ever plan and why? Discuss.

You can use whatever category of worst you like.

And you can of course regale us with stories of bad plans that were never shown on the TV, heard on audio, read in books, etc (i.e. you can make something up if you like, or you can just say 'that one with the concords, because-'/similar).

OK - slight tweak to the usual discussion question format.

What Doctor Who "canon" have you not read/seen/heard yet that you would like to?

Doesn't have to be Master-related, though it can be. My idea being that you say a thing like 'Castrovalva' or 'the Jo Grant era' or 'I have never seen Glitz' or 'I would like to read the NAs' or 'I would like to listen to this Gallifrey everyone keeps going on about' and then other people in the comments tell you how awesome those things are and hopefully encourage more watching of Glitz-stories/whatever.

No shaming people who have never seen 'The Sensorites' (I haven't) - just enthusiasm.

Let's see how it works out.

Good discussing, guys! Here's another question to contemplate:

'Shada' was originally a Four story, and later re-cast as an Eight story. How would a similar change (either of which Doctor was in the story or which Master or both) affect a Doctor/Master story of your choice?

I even have an example fic from the anon meme: Prey of the Cheetahs (which is Seven story 'Survival' as a Three story).

neveralarch

I am owning up to an anon meme fill, so I thought I'd crosspost here:

The Most Secret Diary
Rating: adult
(sex, some very minor violence.)
Characters: Three/Delgado!Master and Jo/Delgado!Master, Sergeant Benton
Wordcount: 3,300ish
Summary: From a prompt: The Doctor finds Jo's very secret diary in which she's written at length about how attractive she finds the Master. The Doctor tries to prevent any sort of romantic entanglements, and some threatening aliens get involved.
A/N: originally posted here for a prompt on the anonmeme.

( fake cut to my journal )

I often don't crosspost anonmeme fills from my journal, since I figure people on b_e have probably already seen the fics. But if you're interested in the better formatted/edited versions, all of my anonmeme fics are under this tag on my journal.

Also! I have finally gathered all of my drabbles and comment fic from the various posts here, so those are also around if you're interested: here on teaspoon, or here on the AO3.

Well, I thought last week's discussion thingy went very well - it even produced some spiffy art of Three as a vampire (inspired by 'The House That Dripped Blood', I think). So, hurrah for everyone! Please come again all.

Today's prompt/discussion question is:

What notable historical events should be a Doctor/Master story?

If you saw this post a few moments ago, it was a different question. That one will be back later.

aralias.livejournal.com

You may have noticed my weekly Monday posts have been absent for a while. You may not have noticed. But anyway, they have. The drabble/sketch challenge has had a good innings, but it's just not working well enough any more. So,

x_los and I have decided to overhaul it and turn it into the 'discussion/drabble/sketch challenge'.

Basically the way this works is that we will pose a question that you can a) discuss the answer to and/or b) create some fannish thing (such as fic or art) in response to. It should theoretically still be weekly.

This week's prompt/question is:

'Sharktopus' reads like a Master episode of 'Doctor Who' that the Doctor just didn't bother to show up for. What other programmes/films/etc starring actors who have played the Doctor or the Master do you wish had been a 'Doctor Who' episode? Discuss

We particularly welcome more obscure choices :D

Without work I have no idea what day of the week it is. I guess now I'm back at work it must be Monday, right?

This week's prompts are:

Twin

and/or

Dilemma

aralias.livejournal.com

Before we begin, a quick advert break:

who_daily (the fandom newsletter) is looking for new editors - largely back-up editors i.e. if a regular editor can't do a shift, and you can - you volunteer. I think it's an important fandom thing, and it'd be great if more people volunteered to help out. More info can be found here.

Ok - and back to the drabble/sketch challenge!

This week's prompts are:

Caves

and/or

Androzani

The prompt doesn't have to be about 'Caves of Androzani' (though we all know that's full of prime angst material). Could be a H/C trapped in cave, or another exciting trip to Androzani (Xmas special 2011 anyone?). Or it could be about 'Caves of Androzani'. The choice - is yours.

aralias.livejournal.com

OK - locations ain't working. How about prompts taken from the names of classic Doctor Who stories? Eh? Eh?

This week's prompts are:

Genesis

and/or

Daleks

The prompt doesn't have to be about 'Genesis of the Daleks' - it could be sort of Adam and Eve related, or about their relationship beginning, or about, you know, Daleks. But it could also be about Genesis of the Daleks. Remember the time the Master tried to take over the universe with a Giant Clam? Oh, I remember it well...

This week's prompts are:

Theatre

and/or

Raxacoricofallapatorius

More locations this week, and a link to an anonymous but compelling account of why the Monk may, in fact, be the Master, which was posted in response to quite an older Drabble challenge prompt: check it out here.

This week's prompts are:

Laboratory

and/or

Auction room
