Calling All Wannabe Doctor Who Writers: An exciting opportunity!!

What started out as wishful thinking a few days ago, well yesterday, has become a reality of sorts, and we would now like to share it with all you guys.

The idea: A DS produced series of Doctor Who.


It will basically be a set of 13 episodes written by members of DS. We are looking for 4/5 writers, and 5 contributors to join us, and this is your chance to do so.

To apply, you must write a synopsis of 1-2 paragraphs, about an epsiode you would write. This series will be set between series 5 and 6 and doesn't nesscarily have to involve Amy and Rory as companions. Since it's writing, the sky (and beyond :p) is your limit.

If we get more people than places, myself, dalekaddison and Livingdestiny will judge who should go through.

The closing deadline is 7 pm Wednesday. Good luck, and please do apply!! :cool:


Ps. Just thought I'd add, this isn't officail Doctor who, they won't get produced by the BBC (though we can dream right?) The experience should be good though, and perhaps as near as you can get to actually producing a series without filiming it :D

    Sounds a most intruiging propsal. :) I've got a couple of ideas...

    Firstly, crossovers - out of curiousity, Yay or nay? :D

    Nay, we're actually suprised everyone is taking this quite seriously we have a story arc and everything :D So just a Doctor Who only! Plus its also worth mentioning that it would only be one episode as the two part stories have been taken up

    I would if I had no job, but at the moment I'm so busy!

    And anyway I would probably give up after 20 minutes. I had to write a script for an existing TV show in college, got to page 30 (about 30 minutes) and couldn't be bothered anymore. We only had to write 10 pages minimum anyway lol.

    Oh Wooo :D:D

    Though, technically, it wasn't a Synopsis :p
    More like some incoherent ramblings that partially made sense :D

    Let me get this straight.... we have the exciting opportunity to write some FanFic.

    Sure. Allow me to kick things off.
    Amy was off doing some ironing or something, and the Doctor & Rory were toweling themselves off after after a swim in the Tardis Pool.
    'Goodness!' exclaimed the Doctor, slightly in awe. 'Those are some very hairy... legs you've got there Rory.' He laughed nervously.
    'Why, yes! They are, aren't they.' replied Rory furtively, not quite able to quite catch his breath around this strange & exciting man.
    'You could probably do with a hand, drying them off!' offered the Doctor, his hearts racing like it last had 900 years previously in the Time Lord Academy Boarding Dorms.
    'They are ever-such-a-long way down for me to reach.' said Rory, his heart in his mouth.
    The Doctor moved closer.
    Rory shuddered feeling the Doctors warm hand, slide over his cool, alabaster skin.
    'Rory... I.. I think there's something you should know about me...' the Doctor stammered.
    Rory's towel began to tent, and then dropped to the ground in front of the Doctor...
    The Doctor swallowed hard. His and Rory's eyes met. The Doctor moved forward again...

    *boomp chicka wow wow*

    To be continued.

    What do you have against the Gay Agenda exactly? This is exactly like Section 28 all over again.

    ROFL!

    Doctor Who slash fics are surprisingly abundant on the Net. They're all as mind-numblingly odd as each other, IMO. (Not because of the gay thing, the idea of fantasising and wrting about any two fictional characters doing...that...uggh). Let's not go there...
