CHALLENGE: Lessons
It's September - the month of going back to school, starting a new term, getting in gear for more learning, and for a new season of Who. :D With all that influx of new information, we figured it was a great opportunity to resurrect one of our favorite challenges:
We all know that the original idea of Doctor Who was to teach children about history and science in a fun and easy way. Now why not write fanfics in the same spirit? Stories that provide information on something - perhaps not useful, or impressive, but true. Whether it's Owen ranting about details concerning a new epedemic, or the plague in Cardiff, of just the Doctor spilling some random information about the time/place they've landed in.
Doctor Who is so very much about learning, and growth, and lessons. This month, use your story to teach! After all, Jack and the Doctor have so much to teach us -- and often, so much to learn. Whether they're filling us in, or being taught themselves, it's your call. Whatever the lesson, we're looking forward to it.
As a gentle reminder, please don't crosspost stories for this challenge elsewhere until the challenge closes about one month from now. And don't forget - leave a comment in THIS post and tell us what you think the next challenge should be!

Ever since Doctor/River became a viable ship, I've wanted to see River and Jack go head-to-head as romantic rivals. Exactly how much trouble would the universe get into, with the two of them competing to impress the Doctor? Does the Doctor play along? Try to make them play nicely? Or is he completely oblivious? Is there a winner, or do they work out some kind of compromise? Or, both being products of 51st-century culture, do they eventually team up to seduce him? And at the end of the day, who gets to keep the Squareness Gun?
Bonus points for crack-fics that throw additional competitors into the mix--Rose, the Master, etc.

I know one of the most depressing things for a writer or artist is to think no one is reading (seeing) their work. The only way we know is through comments. I think you would get more people to join in if you all as Mods would take the time to comment on the work of the people who post here. Even if its just to say "thanks for posting."
As for myself, I'll keep posting no matter what, but it makes me sad when I'm the only one that posts month after month.
