Creator's Summary: Sarah Jane had seen the Doctor a few times since he dropped her off in Aberdeen. All by chance and none when he knocked at her front door. Until now.
Characters/Pairings: Sarah Jane Smith, Eleventh Doctor, Sky Smith
Warnings/Notes: None

Reasons for reccing:

This story was written for me as part of Public Call (a Doctor Who fic exchange) by one of my long-term flisters, so I suppose it's not too surprising that it's one of my favorite Sarah Jane fics. But here's why I think others will like it, too, and why I want to rec it here:

As we know, when Eleven was putting off going to his fixed-point-death in Utah, he visited old friends. This fic tells the story of his visit to Sarah, and does so in a way that is completely in character and fits perfectly into canon. It's funny, it's wistful, and it's steeped in the strong friendship between Sarah and the Doctor. Besides, who doesn't want to spend some time having tea with Sarah and Eleven? (Well, maybe Sky . . . )

Recs can be posted to this community at any time, but in addition we have monthly themes and seasonal challenges. Our November theme is now officially closed, and here is our theme for December:


Eighth Doctor // History


For this month's theme, rec works featuring anything or anyone from the Eighth Doctor's era OR works on a theme of 'history' (historicals, studying history, changing history etc.). Works that feature both together are also welcome!


Post your recs to the community in the normal way any time from now until midnight on 31 December 2018 in your timezone. (See Info & Guidelines for posting template and instructions). Recs posted for monthly themes have their own tag with banners every six months for reccers who posted something for every theme in that time.

When making your post, make sure you add the tag "other: monthly theme". (The mods will take care of any other needed tags, as usual, but which challenge/theme a rec is for could easily be missed.)


The current Seasonal Challenge is a Choose Your Own round and is open till 7th Feb 2019.


Request List
In addition, anyone may make requests for any recs they are keen to see. (e.g. "Fourth Doctor fic, not on Teaspoon," "Cheerful Bill Potts artwork," "Leela vid," "recent Ten/Rose," etc. etc.,) If you are only interested in one medium, don't forget to specify fic/art/vid/mix/icons/podfic etc. in your request.

* Second Doctor era gen fic, any character(s), any genre ([personal profile] auroracloud
* Two/Jamie and Zoe/Isobel fic not on Teaspoon or AO3 ([personal profile] auroracloud
* Classic Who fanvids, any Doctor/TARDIS team (music, no/minimal audio quotes), especially out there on tumblr/YT and not in LJ vidding circles ([personal profile] thisbluespirit)

Simply make your requests in the comments here to be added to the list. (Anon commenting is on.)


Any other questions? Please ask here or at the Info & Guidelines post, or PM the mod.

Title: Doctor Who | The Greatest Adventure (55th Anniversary)
Creator: Margarita Life
Rating: N/A
Word Count/Length/Size: 20:30
Creator's Summary: "With this video, I want to say thank you to the series, creators, actors for changing my life, for giving the world magic! Happy 55th Anniversary!"
Characters/Pairings: Basically everyone :)
Warnings/Notes: N/A

Reasons for reccing: The level of knowledge of the show that must be required to construct a vid like this – with all its links, parallels, and themes spanning five decades – is just extraordinary. This is 55 years of Doctor Who distilled into 20 minutes, by the always wonderful Margarita Life. The essence of the show is all here, with sections devoted to who The Doctor is, the companions, the Tardis, the War, and all the moral complexities of the Doctor's journey. All the eras have been woven together by perfectly chosen lines, and the whole thing is just a joy to watch.

P.S. Apologies, I only just found this comm, so I'm a day late for the multi-era theme! But I thought this vid was good enough to rec anyway ♥
