Title: Sarah Jane - Just a Girl?
Creator: chocolatesal
Rating: General Audiences
Length: 3:31 minutes
Creator's Summary: This is just a fun tribute to one of my favourite Doctor Who companions, Sarah Jane Smith.
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: No Doubt's song "I'm Just a Girl" is a tribute to women who are sick and tired of being pigeonholed, told they are powerless, and told that they should go through their lives being afraid. Being afraid, and being menaced by monsters, used to be a large part of the job for a Doctor's (female) companion, and Sarah Jane underwent her fair share of those moments, yet she was never pigeonholed, she was never powerless, and while she was indeed sometimes afraid, her fear always held a core of bravery at its heart. Sarah Jane's job may be to be menaced, but she's not going to put up with it -- and the video shows us how, through it all, she manages to stay true to herself. As Sarah herself once put it: "There's nothing 'only' about being a girl!"

Creator's Summary: Sarah Jane had seen the Doctor a few times since he dropped her off in Aberdeen. All by chance and none when he knocked at her front door. Until now.

Reasons for reccing:

This story was written for me as part of Public Call (a Doctor Who fic exchange) by one of my long-term flisters, so I suppose it's not too surprising that it's one of my favorite Sarah Jane fics. But here's why I think others will like it, too, and why I want to rec it here:

As we know, when Eleven was putting off going to his fixed-point-death in Utah, he visited old friends. This fic tells the story of his visit to Sarah, and does so in a way that is completely in character and fits perfectly into canon. It's funny, it's wistful, and it's steeped in the strong friendship between Sarah and the Doctor. Besides, who doesn't want to spend some time having tea with Sarah and Eleven? (Well, maybe Sky . . . )

Rating: Videos don't usually have ratings and this one is no exception, but I'd call it General Audiences
Length: 3:21 minutes
Creator's Summary: As Barry Letts always said, Lis Sladen had this uncanny ability to be brave and frightened at the same time. (A tribute to Sarah Jane.)
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing: I'm a huge Sarah Jane fan, which means I've watched a lot of fanvids that feature her. And out of them all, this vid is my favorite all-around tribute to the character. The song choice is wonderful, the clips are meticulously chosen, and the whole thing builds to a wonderful climax with an absolutely perfect final moment that could serve to sum up Sarah Jane all on its own.
