I'm not much of a writer. I just seem to watch
Doctor Who and get an idea about it that I just need to get down on paper. I seem to write one-shots, but I have done a couple of longer works.
I only recently realized why I write: I love the
Doctor Who universe and its characters, its adventures and exploration of deeper themes, and I want to see more of all of it. Thus, when I do write, it's to explore the universe and visit with the characters I love so much. I try to expand what's already there, rather than alter it. I write missing scenes, stories that explore the characters' thoughts and motivations, and episode-like adventures. My stories tend to fit into canon and I'm a bit obsessive about historical (canon) details. My avatar is the Doctor with the TARDIS key, because my stories are my key to the TARDIS, to exploring the universe.
Other things I like to do: Play computer games, read, do crafts, play music, play tabletop and roleplaying games. I wish I could draw, but I've never learned. Someday, maybe.
I request and appreciate reviews. Please tell me what's not good in my stories. I really want to learn!
I also welcome any discussion about
Doctor Who. I love talking about it with other fans.
