A Framing Device
So I'm writing this at 2AM on a Saturday night. I was supposed to be at an Anime Convention this weekend so I would've been awake anyway. I tried watching some Anime in honor of that but after a certain point I fell out of the mood and rewatched Captain Marvel on Disney+.
I started thinking again about the idea I battered around last year while on my writing kick of writing Doctor Who drabbles from 100-500 words in length, but this time I focused in on how that would work on AO3. That, combined with some sleep deprived Tardis Wiki browsing, made me think up an idea I kind of like. Basically, a framing device prologue/opening "chapter" where one character is shown aborted timelines/alternate "accounts"/AUs of where their life could've gone using some convoluted timey-wimey thing I can make up, and then each subsequent "chapter" is one of the drabbles with a focus on that character in some way. IDK, it feels like a neat way to trick myself into some regular prompt writing.
I feel like it's almost certain at this point the character I'm gonna start out with is Jamie for Second Doctor era drabbles, especially considering his longevity, the way his story ended, and the fact that I'm gay as hell and have a bias. I kind of want to do one for the Third Doctor era as well if it pans out, but I'm not sure who to focus on (though I'm slightly leaning towards Jo, Mike, or Benton).
(On a non-Doctor Who related note, I have some half finished stories from Fictober and NaNo - including two lengthy unfinished Buffyverse Bingo fills, that I'd like to get around to now that I'm stuck at home with time to kill and growing impatience with binging TV all day in between home office work.)
Either starting tomorrow or Monday I'm going to be starting Leela's run on Classic Who, and I'm honestly curious how long it's even gonna take me to get through the Fourth Doctor, since I made it through his first two and a half seasons in a month alone, and I only really sunk my teeth into it the past couple of weeks.
On a maintenance note, I think I may try to create a separate tag for my Classic Who reviews, since they've started to get lost in the shuffle of my other Doctor Who blogging.
