elsewhencei feel like writing fanfic. how weird, that's usually something i do every few years...
i could do that other doctor who/his dark materials fusion where differing from the first one, gallifreyans do have dæmons, but they're not physically seperate, unlike the humans of that world, and then there's sort sort of psychic phenomen or artifact that temporarily makes the doctor's more tangible. problem being that i really don't know which doctor that would work with (except that it wouldn't be either of the modern ones because i just don't want to write about them) or what sort of minimal plot i could work it into.
or i could do the "what if han solo was force sensitive" star wars thing. which would decidedly not try to give him jedi-level skills - i've seen several authors try to do that and it always turned out boring and cliched and just doesn't work with his character. no, it would be more of a "maybe he does have a little ability in that area, because you can't tell me his particular brand of luck/intuition hasn't made you wonder, but he doesn't really want to have it because it's too irrational/unpredictable for his taste" kind of thing. because going by the MBTI, he's so a sensing type.
yeah, i don't do long, plotty, character-driven things. just consider that when i was writing that last fic, i didn't even know which doctor it was about (though looking back, it's pretty clearly an alternate eight)...
(also, i think said alternate!eight's dæmon was named by sarah jane. or she at least played a big role in finding a name. that's just a feeling though, not something i particularly feel the need to write more about.)
