New Seasonal Challenge: Character Surprise!

[thisbluespirit]

2023 is going to be the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who and tardis_library will be having some special challenges to tie in with that as the year progresses!

Our first challenge of the year is a simple but fun one we last did 2 years ago - but it has the possibility to enable celebrating the wideness of the show and its universe, so I think it's a good place to start. Yes, it's back, it's ...


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. 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 go, feel free.


The challenge ends at midnight in your time zone on Mon 10th April 2023. Good luck!
