Challenge: Amnesia

Everyone's back where they're supposed to be. But does that mean all is well? Not for these two! Because even if you're in the right place, in the right time - and maybe even with the right person, so much can still be wrong. What if you're missing something vital? Such as your memories.

Welcome to the Amnesia Challenge!

Loss of memory. Loss of identity. Old and new - from those mysterious two years Jack was missing when he first met the Doctor all the way to Torchwood's Retcon. Or the Doctor, no longer remembering who he is after using the Chameleon Arch - what if Jack had run into him then?

Or maybe someone simply knocks one of them on the head. That happens often enough - it's bound to have some side effects one of these days. *g*

What do you do if you don't remember part of yourself? What would a person do who's as far from being normal as these two are, but doesn't remember? Sometimes stripping away things will only make it that much clearer what really matters. Let's rediscover who they both truly are.

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!

Hi there guys. I was just wondering how strict you are about your fic requirements. I'm a poet, and I tend to respond to challenges by trying to inhabit a character (or two) and give a sort of internal snapshot. I've never tried the Doctor, but did try Jack a few times for the community Horizons Sing and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I guess the question is, if I wanted to write a challenge response would you rather I sent it to one of you to check whether it's relelvant enough before I posted it?

Many thanks,
