Since I recently finished a week-long Doctor Who binge session, I find myself mucking up my other roleplays with DW influences. I have to get this out of my system before I destroy those perfectly good, perfectly serious storylines with TARDIS references and silly hats. So I ask you, RpG, to help me find a healthy outlet.
I should say right away that I'm no expert on the DW universe or lore -- I'd be perfectly happy abandoning all the convoluted plotlines, timelines and established alien races for a fresh perspective. I've seen all of the new series and the majority of episodes with the First Doctor, but Doctors 2 through 8 are pretty much unknown to me. Eventually I'll watch the rest of the series. For now, I'm very interested in the personality and premise.
I'm looking for a Companion to my Doctor. I love Nine, Ten and Eleven in different ways, and I'm fairly confident I could pull off any one of them and enjoy it. Let me know which you'd like to travel with and it shall be done. You're welcome to choose a canon Companion, but I personally think it would be easier to diverge from the original storylines if your character were an OC. We can figure that out, though.
All I ask in return is that you understand the concept of quality versus quantity when it comes to writing. Advanced, to me, has nothing to do with flowery words or paragraph count (although it's hard to get a good idea across in fewer than two paragraphs), and it's not even related to perfect grammar. It's the ability to indirectly communicate an emotion, philosophy or state of mind through simple description of action and scenery. Bluntly stating objective action and the color of a dress is not advanced. Show me why it matters. If your writing doesn't make you feel something, you're doing it wrong. That's not to say everything should be serious -- on the contrary, ridiculous antics and laughter can be just as fulfilling as a heartbreaking death scene.
Be prepared to come up with plots and destinations. Give me a mystery or two, or a strange new race, or another crazy Dalek scheme to investigate. I'd like to be able to switch control of the plots between us, to lead and follow your lead.
Here's a sample post from me. It's not Doctor Who, but it's got some obvious heavy influence:
on Google Docs because the hider doesn't seem to be working
I'm open as far as medium goes. We could start a thread, or RP over PM, email or Google Docs. My preferences aren't necessarily in that order. Post here or PM me if you're interested. If you've got a sample post you're proud of, I'd appreciate a link. I can only take on one more RP right now, so I really have to be picky. Apologies in advance!
