Title: An Unearthly Child - Jane Austen Style!
Creator: Meadowlark (newmoonstar)
Rating: All ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 2779
Creator's Summary: Ever wondered what it would have been like if Jane Austen had written for Doctor Who? Possibly it would have been something like this - here's the very first episode, re-written in the style of a Jane Austen novel.
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, Susan Foreman, First Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: It does what it says on the tin, and very well indeed. All the canon details are neatly translated into the new setting, as governess Barbara Wright's latest position proves to be a very curious one indeed. What could be the answer to the riddle of her young charge and her reclusive grandfather?

Title: What This AU Needs is More Nitro 9
Creator: ErinPtah
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 224 words
Creator's Summary: From a fic meme: snippets of ten different AU settings, all starring Ace.
Characters/Pairings: Ace McShane, Seventh Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None.

Reasons for reccing: I was reminded of this while doing my manifesto, and meant to rec it for last month's "Short" theme, but forgot. Luckily, it also fits this month's theme and is still a great (and fun) example of how much you can do with very few words. Also stuff blows up. A lot.
