Autumn Prompt Fest!

As we wend our way through autumn (or spring, if you're in parts more southerly), the clock is ticking towards the 50th Anniversary Special -- and we all have our predictions about what we're going to see.  Which got us thinking, as we considered this season's fest, that it would be fun to open the comm up for a prompt fest again.

After all, there's so much we WANT to see -- and only so much we'll get on screen!

The rules are simple.

Phase 1: Prompts

From now until October 20th, midnight GMT (when is that?) we'll be collecting prompts for the fest on this post. Leave a comment here with the fic you've been wishing for -- whether it's a sentence or a word, an item or a quote, or a particular Doctor/Jack pairing or point in time, or even a particular scenario you'd like to see, anything goes.  All we ask is that you keep prompts under 50 words -- inspire people, don't do their writing for them!

On October 21st, we'll post the complete prompt list to the comm, and then it's time for...

Phase 2: Writing/creating

Pick a prompt! Any prompt! Or multiple prompts!  And comment to claim it.

You can claim any time after October 16th and before November 1st.  If you sign up right at the start, that means you have a month - but you can also come in later and join in. (Or earlier - nothing's stopping you from starting to write/vid/whatever as soon as you see a prompt you like!) Whenever you want, just comment to claim your prompt. Or a second prompt, or a third one! Write or create as many entries as you like.

And no worries:

  • First, more than one person can use the same prompt.

  • Second, we promise not to hunt you down if life gets in the way of completing your fanwork -- we just want to keep track of who's interested in playing.

  • Third, there's no length or size or type-of-fanwork requirement - from drabble to epic, from icons to wallpaper to painting, it's all good. (And kudos to you if you can manage an epic within a month. *g*)

  • Fourth, absolutely anything goes, so long as it involves Doctor/Jack. No other restrictions, apart from common sense. (Which is to say - no character bashing, please!)

When you're done, it's on to...

Phase 3: Posting

Post your work any time after October 21st and before November 30th.
As always, we ask that you please don't crosspost while the fest runs, but you're be free to repost it in your own space afterwards. (And of course feel free to crosspost announcements now! The more people you can bring here, the better. Who knows, they may even decide to join in. :D)

Please include the following header info when you post to the comm:

Author/Artist/Vidder/...:
Challenge: 2010 Doctor/Jack Fest

When you post your entry, please tag your story with the "2013 promptfest" tag and any other appropriate tags from the list. (You can find the full list of tags in the sidebar.)

On November 30th, we'll post a masterlist of all entries submitted.


Any more questions? Leave us a comment here! And if you're all set, comment below with your prompts! And don't forget to pimp this fest - the more people join in, the better!

The Doctor didn't run from Jack because he was freaked out by Jack's immortality. He ran because while taking the Vortex from Rose, he caught a glimpse into Jack's future--and something in that future terrified him.

I'd like to see a story with Jack after Children of Earth running into a past Doctor (3, 4, 5, or 8 pre-war please) Jack is hurting, but can't help falling for the Doctor all over again. Will Jack tell the Doctor that he already knows him? Will Jack tell him about the Time War? Will Jack have to ret-con the Doctor?

Ten/Jack, based on a quote from xxxHolic: "There is no such thing as a coincidence, there is only the inevitable."

Can I post another one? Sort of a variation on scifiangel's. Jack meets a new Doctor (Eleven or later) who's suffering some form of memory loss. Neither recognizes the other, at least at first.

- It is something like a tradition for Jack to measure time in “Doctor” instead of years.

- The Doctor met Jack in the future - an unpleasant experience. He is afraid of what Jack will become. Jack is afraid of being left behind again.

- A companion knows Jack from his/her past

- The Doctor fears Jack is becoming too much like him.

- meeting out of order

- rewriting time

- stuck in a time loop

More prompts :3

- Jack cooks for the Doctor.

- Accidental marriage.

Jack and River Song compete for the Doctor's attention. (Seriously, I can't be the only one who really, really wanted to see this on screen.)

Just posted parts 1-4 of my manip story based on your prompt. Hope you enjoy it.

1. Eleven has just lost River for good, (episode: The Name of the Doctor) and seeks comfort in Jack's arms.

2. Nine has just blown up his planet, but instead of Rose, he meets Jack first. (Yes, I know I've done it, but I want to see someone else's take on the situation.)

3. Jack is a Time Lord that defies his too strict society and becomes a traveling playboy out for adventure (so he's Jack in the early years) when he runs into a very unconventional Time Agent code named "The Doctor." Doctor of your choice.

More I guess *grins*

- Ten and Jack find themselves on Japanese superheroes TV series set.

- The Doctor reminisces about Susan.

- Ten/Jack. Harem.

- Ten's licking habit.

[identity profile] ciw77.livejournal.com 2013-10-14 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
how about... Jack gets food poisoning from something the Doctor made and Ten feels guilty and looks after him

-Why Jack wasn't invited to Demons Run.

-The Doctor finally realizes he and Jack belong together--but for a completely unexpected reason. In other words, show why they're a match for each other without resorting to the obvious "the Doctor needs someone who won't die on him" or "Jack can seduce anyone he wants and he thinks the Doctor's hot." Try to give us one we haven't heard before. (Unsupported headcanon is entirely acceptable.)

-- "There's a fine line between love and hate." When they next meet up, one of them violently hates the other. Is it real--or is it a trope?

-- The two reminisce about their children and discuss having a child of their own.

--The Doctor reads some smut and decides they need a little kink in their love play.

Ten, who's always had a strained relationship with Jack, meets a future version of himself and is discomfited to learn that Jack will eventually succeed in seducing him.

(There are a couple different ways this could play out, depending on if Jack is present in the scene. I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying.)

Instead of Torchwood, Jack has something different to tell in this exchange (work or something else):
"JACK: Since we're telling stories, there's something I haven't told you.
DOCTOR: You __ ____." (Sound of Drums)

Jack shows the Doctor something about how indomitable he is, from this line of the Doctor's:
"End of the universe and here you are. Indomitable! That's the word. Indomitable! Ha!" (Utopia)

Jack, Doctor, a cliff, and an underwater city.

- In The Parting of the Ways, what if Jack had reached the TARDIS before it left?

- What if Eleven had crash-landed in front of Jack rather than in Amelia's garden?

- Ten and Jack get stuck on the slow path together.

- Timey-wimey fic in which Jack knows what's going to happen to the Doctor next, but won't tell. (Up to you if it's something good or bad!)

- The Doctor meets far-future Jack (who is NOT the Face of Boe) and tries to cope with Jack being that much older than him and having lived through that much more.

- When Eleven thinks he's going to die at Lake Silencio, he goes to say good-bye to Jack.

- Jack and two Doctors. I don't care which or why. *g*

I case you didn't see it, I posted the manip of Jack and two Doctors (9 & 10). Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you for the link, I've been a bit busy lately.
