Announcing the second annual Fall Fic Fest!
The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler, so it’s time to celebrate the romance of the Doctor and Rose in a cosy fall setting. @lunaseemoony and I are pleased to bring you the second annual Fall Fic Fest, running for the entire month of October!
What’s so romantic about fall?
Crisp days, walking hand in hand under half-bare trees with colourful leaves crunching beneath your feet. Cool nights, curled up together in front of a fire with a cup of cocoa. The fun of a hayride beneath the harvest moon. Autumn has a lot of romance to offer, if you know where to look.
Does it have to be Doctor/Rose, or can we do any David/Billie pairing?
All pairings involving any of their characters are welcome.
I’m an artist, not a writer. Can I participate?
Of course! Fall Fanworks Fest just doesn’t roll off the tongue quite as easily.
I love this idea, but I need some prompt help.
We are here to help.
Weekly prompts:
Week 1: Fall on an alien planet (Doctor Who) or foreign country (Teninch).
Week 3: Indoor fall activities. See the same lists for specific prompts.
Week 4: Fall foods
Halloween special: Any traditionally “spooky” creature that has been featured on Doctor Who. Scarecrows, werewolves, witches (à la the Carrionites), ghosts… Any Halloween-esque creatures you remember from a Doctor Who ep count.
OR:
Write a story that explains a creature we associate with Halloween in the manner of a Doctor Who ep. The ghosts were actually Gelth, for instance. Maybe your story explains the truth behind zombies or vampires.
As always, the prompts are simply a guideline, something to get your creative juices flowing. Use them or don’t, and in whatever order you want.
Important tags for the month:
Fall fic fest–the event tag ficandchips–the Doctor/Rose fic tag teninch fic–the tag for fic about any of David’s other characters
