Oh look I wrote a Classic Who ficlet! (Fic: Birds in Gear, rating: General audiences)

[auroracloud]

I finished and posted my first Classic Who fic, as an entry to the who_contest drabble challenge on the theme "Pets". (In this case, "drabble" means 550 words or less.) I hadn't written anything for this community before, but when I noticed the current challenge, this little ficlet with Jamie and Victoria encountering odd things just leaped into my mind, and I wanted to write it.

Nice fic! I haven't seen Doctor Who in years, but I enjoyed it.

Aww, thank you for the comment! :-)

Doctor Who has been my main fandom for the past three years, and what brought me back into fanfic. Until fairly recently I only knew the new series, but this summer Twitch ran a marathon of all of the Classic series, just after I'd got all caught up with New Who. I watched as much as I reasonably could - in practice maybe 20 % of it, but enough to get an idea of all Doctors and most Companions - and now I've got even more to obsess over! At least fortunately I fell in love so hard with the Second Doctor era (which these characters are from) that for a while I'll just be happy acquiring everything from that era and watching it before I need to get the other eras. :-)
