Manifesto Title: The Sarah Jane Adventures
Creator: paranoidangel
Notes/warnings/spoilers I've tried to stay as spoiler-free as possible, and when I've mentioned events in the series I've kept it vague.

( The Sarah Jane Adventures )

Title: Tin Xylok
Creator: touchdownpossum
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 2:59
Creator's Summary: The snarkiest love story ever told.
Characters/Pairings: K9/Mr Smith, Sarah Jane Smith, Clyde Langer
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: It's funny. It's about the relationship between K9 and Mr Smith, which was interesting in the programme already, but this takes it a step further by making it a love story, and adding music.

Title: Fallacy Somewhere (Or: If You Can't Steal a Coat from Gilbert and Sullivan, Then From Which 19th Century Librettists and Composers Can You Steal a Coat?)
Creator: dbskyler
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 3144 words
Creator's Summary: You know, I acquired that ulster from Gilbert and Sullivan. -- The First Doctor, "Edge of Destruction."
Characters/Pairings: First Doctor, Second Doctor, Third Doctor, Fourth Doctor, Fifth Doctor, Sixth Doctor, Seventh Doctor, Eighth Doctor, Ninth Doctor, Tenth Doctor, Eleventh Doctor, Twelfth Doctor, Thirteenth Doctor, Susan Foreman, Jamie McCrimmon, Jo Grant, Romana II, K9, Tegan Jovanka, Nyssa of Traken, Ace McShane, Grace Holloway, Rose Tyler, Jack Harkness, Donna Noble
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: Because it's funny. It has a trending theme, which leads to the reveal of how the First Doctor ended up with that ulster. Despite it all being from Gilbert or Sullivan's point of view, you can still tell which Doctors and companions are which from what they do and how their clothing is described.

Title: Careful the Wish You Make: Wishes Are Children
Creator: daystarsearcher
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 6788 words
Creator's Summary: "No matter what you say, children won't listen." Sarah Jane's world is falling apart.
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith, Luke Smith, Clyde Langer, Rani Chandra, Sky Smith, Maria Jackson, Alan Jackson, K9, Mr Smith, Eleventh Doctor, Carla Langer, Gita Chandra, Haresh Chandra
Warnings/Notes: This is marked as Creator chose not to use archive warnings, but it was written for DarkFest 2012 and is therefore very dark.

Reasons for reccing: It's a chilling look at how things could go wrong in the SJA world. It's so sad and dark and chilling and yet believable.

Title: Wanted: Defender of the Earth (Short-Term Substitute)
Creator: dbskyler
Rating: General
Word Count/Length/Size: 1593 words
Creator's Summary: Sarah Jane would like a holiday, but first she has to find someone to take over for her.
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith, Clyde Langer, Rani Chandra, K9, Kate Lathbridge-Stewart, Jack Harkness, Leela, UNIT, Luke Smith
Warnings/Notes:

Reasons for reccing: Because it's fun. It's surprising how many people know about aliens and yet are completely unsuitable to do what Sarah Jane does. Or perhaps not given that one of them is Jack Harkness. It's fun to see how they react to the teenagers and aliens and how likely it is that Sarah Jane will get that holiday...

For the Mind the Gap seasonal challenge - this technically counts for all the categories apart from reccers, and Sarah Jane is the only character who doesn't qualify.

Title: (if you knew what i know)
Creator: bessyboo
Rating: Teen
Word Count/Length/Size: 39:35 minutes
Creator's Summary: And it really isn’t Luke’s fault that his best friend has a hugely inappropriate and aching crush on him, so Clyde should probably stop taking it out on him.
Characters/Pairings: Clyde Langer/Luke Smith, Rani Chandra, Sarah Jane Smith, Mr Smith, K9, Maria Jackson
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: I'm not big on the idea of being read to, but when I decided to try some podfics I tried this one. Even though I dislike the Clyde/Luke ship. And yet I liked this. The story really builds up tension between Luke and Clyde, and in podfic form it just sucked me in.
