Turing Fest fics
I'm a little late posting about the ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
turingfest reveals, which happened about 10 days ago, but here goes! It was a multi-fandom fest about AI/cyborg/robot/android/etc. characters. My gift was a lovely Doctor Who fic about the TARDIS and the Doctor, from TARDIS point of view (I love TARDIS POV fics! there need to be more of them!). It's lovely and beautiful, I love the flowy feeling of the narrative flowing in an out of various moments in time like the TARDIS consciousness would. Plus, there's a bit of implied Doctor/Jack, which is always lovely!

Even if you've never read TARDIS POV before, or didn't know you might want to read it, this is a good one to start from, because it's not very long but still shows a lovely series of views on the Doctor & TARDIS relationship.
It's actually the only fic I've so far read from the fest, because it was the only one not mine that was written in my fandoms, but I do plan to take a look at the Original Work category, because I've come to adore AI/robot/etc. stories. But I didn't get around to it yet, because I promptly fell ill when the fics were revealed, and took a while before I could even leave a proper comment in my gift fic.
I also ended up writing Doctor Who, TARDIS POV fic, though my recipient and assigned writer weren't the same person (I wouldn't have been surprised if that had happened, it was an exchange of just a few dozen people, and I didn't know most of the other fandoms involved). It was my first time ever attempting TARDIS POV or any AI/sentient spaceship/etc. focused fic, but after a lot of editing I did end up fairly happy with the result, and the recipient seems to be happy with it as well, which is the most important thing!

Summary: After the Paradox, the TARDIS heals. So do those aboard her.
And if anyone read it during the anon period who's familiar with my fics, they could probably spot it was mine miles away. Dealing with the Year That Never Was? Check. Ten, Jack, and Martha? Check. Jack's Fact-ness? Check. Jack and Ten's complicated relationship? Check. Jack and Martha connecting? Check. But I loved exploring the TARDIS POV to it all, and making her recovery the centre of the fic, not only her travellers. I should try to write more TARDIS-focused fic, I really enjoyed it.
