“I no longer know if I wish to drown myself in love, vodka or the sea.”
Another chapter of a Scream of the Shalka/modern DW cross-over fic is up! In this one, Alison is trapped in an elevator with her not-quite-former enemy, Harry. Good times.
Here’s a full view of their outfits, which do end up being a plot point. As I hope is made abundantly clear in the story, it’s NOT the fact that he’s wearing a dress that’s humorous. It’s the fact that it’s SO NOT HIS STYLE.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit’s The Alison and Harry Show! :D They’re having so much fun…
I have written exactly two kinds of fan fiction:
Type A
I LOVE THIS STORY SO MUCH, IT’S BEAUTIFUL AND CLEVER AND AMAZING AND I AM GOING TO WRITE ABOUT THESE CHARACTERS BECAUSE THERE IS JUST SO MUCH TO EXPLORE AND APPRECIATE
Type B
I have to do everything myself.
Sometimes its the same story!
3 and/or 19 for the headcanon asks, tensimm or shalkas please
i’ll do both, kind of as a compare/contrast, because i feel like in my mind anyway those TARDIS teams are parallel AUs with different angles on similar stuff:
Listen. Do not let anyone tell you what to write or what not to write.
Do not let prevailing fandom interpretations keep you from writing something different, do not let the personal opinions/perspectives of Big Name Fans™ keep you from presenting your own interpretation of characterizations/ship dynamics. Do not be afraid to write for unpopular ships (people will read it and be forever grateful that you created content for their rarepair).
Fandom is a communal experience, yes, but it is made up of individuals. Do not be afraid to stray from the norm. People may disagree with your choices/your interpretations/your writing; that doesn’t make them objectively right.
Do not be ashamed to deviate from fandom narrative.
