Some meta by
stunt_muppet has reminded me that I've been meaning to post about this (and, uh, yes, I'm spacing out my entries today so they're not quite back-to-back).
If you're a Doctor Who fan, take a look at this. No, seriously. Go take a look. It's okay; I'll wait.
Discuss!
Which of them would you most like to have seen? Which do you think would have changed the way Who went? Which will you subsequently attempt to immortalize in fanfiction form? :D
Okay, so... so "The Prison in Space". I think I'd just... just have to see that one. The description renders me speechless. Jamie in drag!
"The Song of the Space Whale" sounds downright interesting, in an utterly bizarre sort of way.
And who wouldn't like to see a Stephen Fry script for the Tenth Doctor?!
No, but the one that would have changed everything would be "The Final Game". I'm such a huge fan of Delgado's Master and his incredibly messed up best-enemies relationship with the Third Doctor - it would have been absolutely incredibly excellent, I'm sure. Brilliant.
That would have changed everything, though - or would it? You could probably retcon it away, saying that the Master's death was, y'know, about the same as every other time he's "died". Crispy!Master and Simm!Master and Ainley!Master and, oh fiddle, even Roberts!Master could still exist in the AU created here.
What I'm driving at is - would there be any interest in a fic that sticks to this plot? It'd be a long-term project, but I'd love to work on it at some point in the future (well after Big Bang, of course, and at least one of my other two epic!fics would have to have wrapped up by then). Hm. Food for thought.
Anyway, yes. What do you guys think?

"*grumble*"
But I think it's also possible to toss some misdirection into the mix, imply that, in this case, the id and the ego have fed off each other to create complete but slanted personalities?
Possible, that. Quite possible. Perhaps now that they're both psysical entities rather than aspects of a single one, they've had to develop more completely? Or...um...how do I put this...well, they were, at one point, solely an id and ego, but once they became seperate beings for whatever reason, they needed the complete but slanted mind you mentioned in order to function, since a living mind can't work with only the id or only the ego.
Oh! Oh! Idea! Perhaps, at the end of Utopia, Ten is unable to lock the TARDIS coordinates for some reason, and as soon as the Master figures out what the Time War was and why it happened, he ditches his paradox-invasion plan and heads straight back to Genesis-era Skaro to do what the Doctor wouldn't. And the Doctor, at the moment, has no way to stop him from doing so, because the Master is using his TARDIS...*frantic scribbling* You know, it would take an awful lot of explaining and such, but I kind of want to do it now. :D
