Rec [poetry]: Vicki Pallister, by Arkytior

[auroracloud]

Title: Vicki Pallister
Creator: Arkytior
Rating: General audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 137 words (and 24 lines if I counted right)
Creator's Summary: This one goes out to good ol' Vicki, the teacher.
Characters/Pairings: Vicki, the First Doctor, Barbara
Notes: Part of a series of poems about companions, fittingly called Companions

Reasons for reccing: I thought poetry would make a lovely rec for the "short" theme, and I came across this lovely one about Vicki, one of my favourite Classic Who companions. It has the playful, imaginative, energetic tone I associate with Vicki, even though it's not in first person, and I love the ending in particular.

Rec [art]: Rose Tyler, by mustamirri

Title: Rose Tyler
Creator: mustamirri
Rating: -
Word Count/Length/Size: -
Creator's Summary: It was definitely the time to draw a "new who" companion for my Doctor Who companions project!

Rose was a shop assistant in London and the companion of the Ninth and Tenth Doctor.

Characters/Pairings: Rose Tyler, Ninth Doctor, Tenth Doctor
Notes: Belongs to this artist's series of companions (mostly Classic Who ones besides this one) where different companions are drawn in somewhat Art Nouveau/Mucha style drawings with some motifs of their story and their Doctor(s) drawn to the upper left and right corners, etc. There are links to many of the others in the description of this picture, make sure to check out some of the others as well!

Reasons for reccing: I love this fan art series, and I really like this portrait of Rose, as she looks as young as she is in the beginning of her story, has a definite Series 1 feel (which is my favourite era for Rose), and captures the freshness, curiosity, and youth of Rose and that "ordinary girl" air. Also, though I've looked at this drawing many times, I only now spotted the Bad Wolf motif - see if you find it, too!
