tardis_library | New Seasonal Challenge: Character Surprise!

Our Rare Pairings challenge is now over (banners to follow presently), so it's time for a new one. Hopefully this will be a fun and simple one to round off the year!

~~Fondant~~ Character Surprise!

The challenge this time is to rec 5+ fanworks for a list of five randomly generated characters I will give you. You may rec one (or more) for each random character or simply use your favourite out of the five, or any combination in between.

How to play:

1. Comment to this post. Choose either New Who or Classic Who lists to use, or both. You can also request for me to add Big Finish, novels, SJA, Class, Torchwood or Comics & Other as you please. (Lists contain only Doctors, companions and other significant/recurring characters.)

2. Receive a list of five random characters. If you can't work with one or more of them, simply use those you can and ignore the other(s). In the (hopefully unlikely) event that you receive a list where you really can't use any of the characters, let me know and I'll randomise a new list for you - no need to worry!

3. Post recs for works that feature your character(s) in some way - they don't even have to be the central focus of the work to meet the challenge. There must be some recognisable connection, though! etc. etc. - Fun and profit for all.

If you work your way through your list before the challenge ends and would like another, feel free to request one.

The challenge ends at midnight in your time zone on Mon 22nd March 2021. Good luck! I look forward to seeing what we all come up with.

Here you go! Your random five are:

Jenny Flint
Victoria Waterfield
Omega
Sky Smith
Vastra

Thank you. Technically Jenny and Vastra are New Who, but I quite fancy reading some fic with them in, so I'm happy with that list.

Oh, whoops, I'm sorry, I was tired yesterday and just used the same whole-Who list for you and eve11, because I thought you'd both asked for everything and just added in SJA for you. If you are happy with it, that's great, but it was totally my mistake if you want another roll of the dice!

No, it's good. I was just looking at the list last night and couldn't work out if I was going mad - I was also tired.

No, don't worry, I was the one going mad!! ♥

Can I get a list of 5? Any 5 across any and all of Who-dom is fair game.

Here you go! They are... very random indeed:

Fourth Doctor
Peri Brown
Adric
The Corsair
Ian Chesterton

haha these will be interesting. I don't know that I have anything fresh in mind for any of them, but I will look through Ao3 tags to hopefully find some gems.
