Creator erychan86

Reasons for reccing: For 2010: Vincent and the Doctor is one of my favorite episodes (never fails to make me cry a little) and this beautiful vid captures the very essence of that ep

October Theme + Request Post

[thisbluespirit]

Recs of any sort may be posted at any time, but in addition we have monthly themes. tardis_library's theme for September is now closed, and here is our new theme for October:

Sixth Doctor // Ghosts
"Be gone. You are shadows, insubstantial ghosts. We are real, you are not."

Time to bring out your favourite fanworks showcasing the Sixth Doctor and anyone or anything from their era. You can also recs things featuring ghosts - interpret that however you wish - or, of course, both.

Post your recs to the community in the normal way any time from now until midnight on 31st Oct 2023 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.)


Don't forget our Special Anniversary Challenge is open now to rec fanworks for every year between 1963-2023 until 30th November 2023!


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 - thisbluespirit
* Twelfth Doctor h/c that's not on AO3 (any pairing or gen) - ruuger
* Rose/Nine fic, any genre, anywhere - anon
* Jack/Esther fic (Torchwood) - chamilet
* Babyfic and/or de-age fic, any era/any team - romanajo123
* Fanworks in more unusual media (not Art, Fic, or Vids) - lurking_latinist
* Gen fic featuring the Doctor's scarf any era - liadt
* fic set after Planet of Giants that focus on the events of that story - 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.

60th Anniversary Community Challenge update #1

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks so much to everyone who has already been reccing such lovely fanworks to celebrate each year of the show's anniversary!

You can keep tabs on our progress at the original post or by checking the special Community Challenge tag.

Rec Count: 6/60 years covered - 7 total recs. A great start! *\o/*

Years checked off so far: 1963, 1978, 1982, 1983, 2001, 2010.

Keep up the good work! I hope as many comm members as possible will try and make at least 1 rec - it's a very low key but excellent tribute to our fandom. ♥



(It's fine to rec more than one work per year, so don't worry if you had something brilliant lined up for an already-'taken' year - but obviously we do want to cover the whole 60 by the end of November. fanworks may be of any type and hosted anywhere publicly accessible - but see our sticky for the usual rules + posting template etc.)
