Title: Telling Stories
Creator:

whilewilde
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1410 words
Creator's Summary: Ian’s started telling stories to his local library about a mad old man with a box... but why does it all feel wrong?
Characters/Pairings: Ian Chesterton/Barbara Wright, First Doctor
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's a change from the usual stories where Ian and Barbara get married as soon as they go home. In this you can feel Ian's melancholy at missing his life with the Doctor (and with Barbara), and the ending is a happy surprise.

Title: The Long, Long Shadow
Creator:

Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 4086 words
Creator's Summary: Ian and Barabara are gone, the Daleks are defeated, and Steven made it into the TARDIS just in time. But there is still a problem of more Daleks to take care of, and the method of getting rid of them is not something the Doctor is keen on trying.
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Vicki Pallister, Steven Taylor, The Doctor's TARDIS
Warnings/Notes:

Reasons for reccing: It's a really interesting idea, that the Daleks wouldn't stop chasing them after The Chase. And it's coupled with Steven trying to get used to the TARDIS. And a look at the relationship between the Doctor and the TARDIS; how the TARDIS thinks of time. And a dash of knowledge from the future.

This is a nice bit of backstory for the two of them and I could definitely see something like this happening. Especially given that these two are established as...not exactly the best students.

Title: Doctor Who - The Daleks (1963) (Creepy Fan Trailer)
Creator: cbatt91337
Rating: None given
Word Count/Length/Size: 1:59
Creator's Summary: Featuring the original music by Tristram Cary with additional music by the Audio Machine, this is a trailer for William Hartnell's' second story and the Daleks first.
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Susan Foreman, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright
Warnings/Notes: None given, but there is quite a bit of flashing images in it

Reasons for reccing: It's a really creepy and make the serial look like it's a creepy atmospheric, excitingly paced set of episodes. Which it probably was in the 60s, but this gives us a flavour of how it might have felt to people watching it for the first time when it was first broadcast. It certainly made me really want to re-watch it.

Reasons for reccing: I recently remembered this fic, and reread it. And it is one of the most stunning, beautiful things. Everything is very vivid and detailed and a nice ending for Ten. With a bunch of little cameos.

Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 2,035 words
Creator's Summary:

Alone and afraid, Clara and the TARDIS share the most precious memory in all of time and space.

Meanwhile, Theta Sigma is kind of a dick.

Characters/Pairings: Doctor/TARDIS; various Doctors, Clara Oswald, Susan Foreman
Warnings/Notes: author tags "Xenophobia"; author's tags also include "Canon Backstory, All Three of Them! All at Once!" and "Two and Jamie Show Up For About Three Seconds It's a Thing"

Reasons for reccing: For Doctor/TARDIS in the Claim a Ship Seasonal Challenge.

Clara and the TARDIS are arguing and in danger, and the ship tries to communicate by sharing some of her memories. Most importantly, how she got herself stolen. The younger First Doctor and Susan are very well portrayed--I especially love the Doctor's combination of awe and panic about bonding with his ship--and Clara's perspective (not knowing what she's seeing, but plenty of opinions) is a really interesting way to approach it.

Title: Remembrance
Creator:

BiJane
Rating: G
Word Count/Length/Size: 3415 words
Creator's Summary:

The TARDIS on the Doctor.

Stitch it together. Weave a narrative from all the moments. That happened before that, which would have prevented that… It’s not simultaneous, not to them.

Characters/Pairings: The Doctor (multiple regenerations)/The Doctor's TARDIS, mentioned Romana and River Song
Warnings/Notes: (none)

Reasons for reccing: For the Claim a Ship challenge. This is a narrative of the Doctor's relationship with his TARDIS told from the TARDIS's perspective, and it's splendidly nonlinear, using the idea that the TARDIS experiences all her adventures with the Doctor simultaneously. It tells her perspective on various stories from Classic and New Who, synthesizing them into a big arc of their journey together, and it does some really fun things with tenses and nonlinear storytelling.

Rating: All ages
Word Count/Length/Size: 3.29
Creator's Summary: Happy to present my first ever video! I've wanted to make them for years now and finally have the means to. The First Doctor era of Doctor Who is an easy place for me to start because I know it like the back of my hand and it's uncomplicated to edit - I'll definitely be attempting more intensive edits in the future, but I'm very happy to start here with something I love so much. I've wished a video to this song existed for a long time and it's exciting to actually get to see it now that I've done it! Hope you enjoy :)
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Ian Chesterton, Barbara Wright, Susan Foreman, Vicki, Steven Taylor, Katarina, Sara Kingdom, Dodo Chaplet, Polly Wright, Ben Jackson.
Warnings/Notes: One brief broken/flashing cut towards the end.

Reasons for reccing: YT dropped this into my feed and I was instantly charmed - it's a really sweet and heart-warming whole era vid for the First Doctor. It's very well done, the song choice works beautifully and the found family celebratory vibe is threaded with the minor note of One's losses. I've not come across anything like this ensemble tribute for this era before, or certainly not so well done, and I've already watched it about six times.

Characters/Pairings: Steven Taylor , First Doctor, Dodo Chaplet (near the end), Cameos/mentions of other characters
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: For Rec Bingo. Box- Isolation/Negative Space.

So initially I wasn't sure what exactly this box entailed (had to look up a definition for Negative space to check), but I thought about this fic. This is weird and atmospheric, and given the premise makes the reader actually wonder what's going on. And love the mention of Steven's nightmares still being having to be alone for eternity , which given his introduction makes a lot of sense.

Title: Regeneration
Creator: Andriy Griffin
Rating: PG
Word Count/Length/Size: 4.48 mins
Creator's Summary: This October sees the next great change in Doctor Who, so this is to remember all the times we've said a tearful farewell to our beloved Doctors. In tribute to all the amazing people who've worked on this show on & off for the last 60 years, and in memory to Bill, Pat and Jon, the three who started it all. Hope you enjoy.
Characters/Pairings: Doctors 1-13, plus various other companions and villains.
Warnings/Notes: Regeneration stories, so (temporary) death etc, some guns & gunfire.

Reasons for reccing: It's Doctor Who's anniversary - 59 years old today! So I had to rec a multi-Doctor vid, and this one fitted the bill perfectly. It focuses on the goodbyes (and hellos) of regeneration stories over the decades, featuring all the Doctors and a good many companions and adversaries (especially those in the Regeneration episodes), and at the end brings us right up to date with Thirteen. And isn't one of the greatest strengths of this old show of ours, the notion of regeneration - the ability to continually change and grow that's let it carry on for decades, and even regenerate itself after what looked like the end? This is a beautiful exploration of that, in loss and grief - and the joy of renewal.

Happy birthday, Doctor Who! ♥
