This is a reccing community for Doctor Who in all its incarnations, spin-offs, Extended Universe etc. etc.

Members may rec any type of fanwork at any time, although there will also be monthly themes and seasonal challenges, plus requests.


Rules
1. Be civil and respectful to other community members & no bashing of characters, pairings, fanworks, or creators. No hatespeech or harassment is allowed. (Attempts at galactic domination will also be severely frowned upon.)

2. Works recced must be posted publicly at the time of reccing (i.e. not posted to a locked journal etc.). You may rec works archive-locked to AO3, but please note that in the header info of your rec. Please do not rec works in progress, and no self recs. One user may post a max of 2 posts to the comm per day.

What makes a good fanwork is a very subjective subject, but at base line, please ensure that all your recs are complete and generally comprehensible/accessible as appropriate to the medium. (i.e. formatted & punctuated etc.; in the case of podfic, vids etc., that they are visible/audible, with working streaming/downloading links (at time of reccing); and that artworks are finished, visible, & recognisable as the subject etc.) If reccing a crossover/fusion, it should contain recognisable DW-related content/characters.

3. Works may be recced more than once (although please try to vary things up where you can and avoid repeating recs within a short period of time - you can use the tags to check whether or not something has already been recced).

4. You must include some sort of 'blurb' as to why you are reccing the work, however brief. Please include any relevant warnings/content notes in the header template provided, particularly when linking directly to a work without any header/equivalent info. (i.e. spoilers, physical triggers in vids, noting topics that may be triggery - abuse, death, racism/bigotry, non-con etc. Please don't warn for slash/het/femslash etc. or specific pairings/characters.)

5. Rec away!

If you have any other questions, please ask in the comments here. (Anon commenting is on.)

Recs of any sort may be posted at any time, but in addition we have monthly themes. [community profile] tardis_library's theme for May is now closed, and here is our new theme for June:


Fifteenth Doctor // Smile

"I just wish we... we had longer."


Now that the latest series has drawn to a close, it's time to highlight the Fifteenth Doctor! Share any and all recs relating to Fifteen and his era or those connected to the theme "Smile", or, as ever, both. ♥


Post your recs to the community in the normal way any time from now until midnight on 30th June 2025 in your timezone. (See Info & Guidelines for posting template and instructions). Recs posted for monthly themes have their own tag with banners at the end of the year for reccers who posted something for at least six out of the twelve themes over the year. (Just let me know if you prefer not to receive banners.)

When making your post, add the tag "other: monthly theme". (The mods can take care of any other needed tags if you prefer, but a challenge/theme tag could easily be missed.)

Our current Seasonal Challenge is Alphabet Soup, open for posting until 15th June 2025.


Request List
Anyone may also request any specific recs they'd like to see. (e.g. "Fourth Doctor fic, not on Teaspoon," "Cheerful Bill Potts artwork," "Leela vid," "recent Ten/Rose," etc.) If you are only interested in one medium (fic/vid/art etc/), don't forget to specify.

Current requests:
* Classic Who fanvids, any Doctor/TARDIS team (music, no/minimal audio quotes preferred), especially out there on tumblr/YT - [personal profile] thisbluespirit

Warnings/Notes: None 

Reasons for reccing: Seasonal Challenge- R.    This is some cute and fun Team Two fluff. I can hear their voices and this feels like it could happen during this time.

Characters/Pairings: Fifteenth Doctor, Dalek

Characters/Pairings: Dugga Doo
Warnings/Notes: Spoilers for The Interstellar Song Contest

Reasons for reccing: This is the serious backstory to a silly song. And it's a great backstory, with the sort of theme that sci fi deals with often.

Creator's Summary: Ian’s started telling stories to his local library about a mad old man with a box... but why does it all feel wrong?
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, First Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a change from the usual stories where Ian and Barbara get married as soon as they go home. In this you can feel Ian's melancholy at missing his life with the Doctor (and with Barbara), and the ending is a happy surprise.

This is some lovely, dreamy, atmospheric prose!  The both of them are IC and it's wonderful seeing these express their feelings for each other )even if the Doctor is bad at it :))

Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 4086 words
Creator's Summary: Ian and Barabara are gone, the Daleks are defeated, and Steven made it into the TARDIS just in time. But there is still a problem of more Daleks to take care of, and the method of getting rid of them is not something the Doctor is keen on trying.
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Vicki Pallister, Steven Taylor, The Doctor's TARDIS
Warnings/Notes:

Reasons for reccing: It's a really interesting idea, that the Daleks wouldn't stop chasing them after The Chase. And it's coupled with Steven trying to get used to the TARDIS. And a look at the relationship between the Doctor and the TARDIS; how the TARDIS thinks of time. And a dash of knowledge from the future.

Characters/Pairings: Ninth Doctor/Rose Tyler
Notes: Sex pollen fic but doesn't have any explicit sex in fic

Reasons for reccing: This is an amusing fic I rediscovered while sorting through my bookmarks. Rose and Nine encounter dirt that arouses them. The two fight through their lust to do the task they were hired to do. I love the tension between this fic's Nine and Rose and the fic's ending is well worth the payoff.

Warnings/Notes: None. The fic is archive-locked.

Reasons for reccing: I'm still longing for Big Finish to give us an Eight and Charley reunion, so this fic, which does just that beautifully, made my day and I had to share it! The characterisation and dialogue is note perfect, and it's sharply observed, fun, and everything I'd hope for from these two getting a chance to meet up again and finally discover the truth about how they parted.

It's time for a new seasonal challenge here at [community profile] tardis_library, and I've picked out one we haven't done in a good while:

Alphabet Soup


To complete this challenge, post 5-26 fanwork recs for consecutive letters of the alphabet. The alphabetical aspect may be the title, creator, or the character(s) featured in the fanwork. Five letters (recs) is the minimum to achieve the challenge and gain a banner - you can aim for more than that or attempt the whole alphabet!

The letters can be any sequence of letters, as long as it's consecutive (ABCDE, XYZAB, LMNOP etc.). You can choose to challenge yourself further by using only one of the categories (so work alphabetically through titles/authors/characters only). With titles, alphabetise by the first proper word - so A/An/The don't count.

You can also post recs in batches (with a cut for more than two recs per post).

The challenge is open from now until midnight in your timezone on Sunday 15th June 2025.

No sign-ups needed.

Don't forget to tag each post with "other: seasonal challenge."

See the Intro & Guidelines post for posting template and general instructions. There will be banners for those who complete the challenge (unless you would prefer not to have one.)




If you have any other questions about this challenge, please ask in the comments, or PM the mod. General reccing and our monthly themes will continue as usual.

Apologies for the slight delay in putting this up. I'll see about getting banners for reccing for at least 6 out of 12 monthly themes in 2024 done soon.


Recs of any sort may be posted at any time, but in addition we have monthly themes. [community profile] tardis_library's theme for December is now closed, and here is our new theme for January:

Spin-Offs


This month, we're looking for recs for fanworks featuring any spin-offs - series that are part of the Whoniverse but don't centre around the Doctor, like Torchwood, Class, Sarah Jane Adventures, Gallifrey, Jago & Lightfoot, Bernice Summerfield, UNIT & so on and so forth. (EU main range material doesn't count - BFA main ranges, EDAs, PDAs, VNAs, MAs etc etc.)

Post your recs to the community in the normal way any time from now until midnight on 28th Feb 2025 in your timezone. (See Info & Guidelines for posting template and instructions). Recs posted for monthly themes have their own tag with banners at the end of the year for reccers who posted something for at least six out of the twelve themes over the year. (Just let me know if you prefer not to receive banners.)

When making your post, add the tag "other: monthly theme". (The mods can take care of any other needed tags if you prefer, but a challenge/theme tag could easily be missed.)


Many apologies for missing the ball on a new Seasonal Challenge - the next one will start in mid March now.


Request List
Anyone may also request any specific recs they'd like to see. (e.g. "Fourth Doctor fic, not on Teaspoon," "Cheerful Bill Potts artwork," "Leela vid," "recent Ten/Rose," etc.) If you are only interested in one medium (fic/vid/art etc/), don't forget to specify.

Current requests:
* Classic Who fanvids, any Doctor/TARDIS team (music, no/minimal audio quotes preferred), especially out there on tumblr/YT - [personal profile] thisbluespirit
* Twelfth Doctor h/c that's not on AO3 (any pairing or gen) - [personal profile] ruuger
* Rose/Nine fic, any genre, anywhere - anon
* Jack/Esther fic (Torchwood) - [personal profile] chamilet
* Babyfic and/or de-age fic, any era/any team - [personal profile] romanajo123
* Fanworks in more unusual media (not Art, Fic, or Vids) - [personal profile] lurking_latinist
* Gen fic featuring the Doctor's scarf any era - [personal profile] liadt
* fic set after Planet of Giants that focus on the events of that story - [personal profile] scifirenegade


Make your requests in the comments here to be added to the list. (Anon commenting is on.) If you make a rec that fills any of these requests, please add the "other: request" tag to your entry so it can be found easily.)


Any other questions? Ask here or at the Info & Guidelines post, or PM the mod.

 Title: The Thin Grey Line
Creator:  [archiveofourown.org profile] flibbertygigget 
Rating: Teen and Up 
Word Count/Length/Size: 5216
Creator's Summary: Private Jarkor of Judoonia's 37th Mercenary Platoon was having a crisis.

Evelyn Smythe has to untangle the past. The Doctor tries to make a fulcrum for the future. Dubious morality and timey-wimey nonsense: it's all in a day's work for two time travelers.

Characters/Pairings: Sixth Doctor, Evelyn Smythe, Original Alien Characters
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: Call me biased because this was written for me, but this is just a very good fic.  The Sixth Doctor and Evelyn are in-character and the author does a fantastic job with world building.  Even down to the language!
