randomly generated fic rec

[dbskyler]

In the mood to do a rec, so here we go . . .


A randomly generated fic rec is simply my way of spreading the fic-love around. While the Calufrax recommendations are great, there are a lot of stories that go unnoticed. This is my attempt to rectify that a little. To mix things up, and to keep myself from getting into a recommendation rut, I go to the Doctor Who Random Pairing Generator, here, then choose a fanfic story to recommend that is related to one or both of the characters that come up. If I can't think of a good story to recommend based on the first pairing of characters, I click again to get a new pairing. My only rule is I will not recommend a story that has already been recommended on Calufrax, since that defeats the purpose of spreading recommendations around.

Randomly generated character: The First Doctor
Fic: Six Times the Doctor Loved and Lost (and Once He Didn't)
Author: Doctor Tam
Author's summary:As you do.
Characters: First Doctor, Second Doctor, Third Doctor, Fourth Doctor, Seventh Doctor, Tenth Doctor, Jamie, Sarah, Romana, Ace, the Master
Rating: All ages
Spoilers: "War Games," "Hand of Fear," "Warrior's Gate," and "Last of the Time Lords."
Length: 1723 words

Why the rec: It's a gorgeous story, full of little windows into the Doctor and his relationships. It catches you up and carries you along, the writing is beautiful, and it leaves you feeling sad and happy and wistful and content, all at the same time.

When I saw the First Doctor come up on the random pairing generator, I thought of it right away. It just barely missed my list when I recced for Calufrax -- next time for sure (unless someone else beats me to it).
