Writing meme answer #14

I've decided to answer the writing meme questions one at a time, since it's less overwhelming that way -- more fun for me to write up, and hopefully more fun for others to read, too. Here we go with the first one!

lost_spook asked me #14 from the writing meme:

14. Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?

I would love to have someone finish my WIPs if they could finish them perfectly, and make them come out exactly the way I want them to come out. But since no one else can look into my head, no, I don't want anyone else finishing my fic for me, not even the ones that have been languishing away for years. Instead I will keep holding out hope that I will eventually get them to come out exactly the way I want them to come out, or, well, with an ending of some sort, anyway.

But this question reminds me of dw_straybunnies, a comm which has sadly gone by the wayside, but which was very useful for throwing out fic ideas that you knew you would never get around to writing, or just wanted to see someone else tackle. Looking at my list of un-started fic ideas, I do have a couple that I should post over there, under the assumption that there are a few other people around who are still watching that comm.

But as for what I really wish someone else would write, I'm still waiting for the full tale of the Doctor learning he's the Master's half-human brother, descended from Rassilon, rightful inheritor of the Sash, with Borusa as his grandfather and a weathered Kansas Time Lord farmer as his and the Master's father, with Nazis. Although jjpor made an amazing attempt that was beautifully written and not even crack!fic. But he hasn't finished it (yet), and anyway, can you ever have too many Eighth-Doctor-related-to-Rassilon-and-the-Master-through-a-weathered-Kansas-farmer-Time-Lord fics, with Nazis?

Writing meme answer #22

Continuing to answer the writing meme questions one at a time.

john_amend_all asked me #22 from the writing meme:

22. A secondary (or underrated) character you want to see more of in fic?

Why yes, yes there is. Gita! I want all the Gita Chandra fic, all the time. I have asked for her twice for Yuletide, and received her four times, and I've received her for Fandom Stocking, I've written her myself, and MORE, MORE, I WANT MORE. I don't know exactly what it is about her, but I love her to death, and she hardly ever appears in fic. Let's face it, Sarah Jane Adventures is a small fandom, and Gita is a minor character in that small fandom. But if you go to Teaspoon and filter on Gita Chandra, you will see 16 fics tagged with her, and of those 16:

3 were written by me
2 were written for me
1 was prompted by me
1 was betaed by me

So, either that's a very sad testament to a character-fandom-of-one, or I'm doing my part. :)

As for other characters, well, I never object to more Sarah Jane fic, and she sadly isn't written as often as she used to be. I also really like reading fic with the TARDIS as a character, and would love to see more of that.
