...or Teaspoon. We can have another series into which we steal people's stories and baffle the nets! Oh, yes, we can. Okay, Johne had mentioned before about how UNIT dating should be stretched so that they were simply going about their business in the wrong century without any concession to the fact. And wrote me birthday fic about it. How about we try and write UNIT into as many random time preiods as possible? I hope that makes sense. But I thought maybe we needed a something to follow the cake, and this seems like a suitable mission, should you choose to accept it. ;D Johne & I have done one each (his is longer, and better, and complete, while mine leads up to a rather silly joke instead). They're here, so you get your head round what I'm on about. www.whofic.com/series.php?seriesid=2676What say you, DybA-ers? (Not that this doesn't mean we can't have more cake!fic whenever we want, obviously.) Obviously, the Classic UNIT team is the prime target for this, but there is no reason whatsoever, as far as I can see, why Bambera & co shouldn't find themselves in a century where Ancelyn would feel more at home, or Nu-UNIT etc etc. Anyone can play. (And now I'm thinking about 1980s UNIT. *slaps self*. Must stop doing that...)

I like this idea very much.
I would even participate were it not for the fact that I'm going abroad and will be mostly internet-less for three months. But you never know...I might come back with a stash of this stuff....
And...forgive my ignorance, but what is this cake!fic of which you speak?!

Hmm! Pondering.... I think I have a time period targeted, but I haven't any plot yet. Will give it some time to percolate.

Huh. I think I even have a time period! But yeah, plot is required.
Maybe, something involving cake.

Yay!
Ooh... Pitry and Primsong have time periods already & all.... ;D
And, of course, there is never any reason not to include cake, although that raises the serious dilemma for the canonically minded as to whether the fic is UNIT dating fic, or cake!fic. Hmmm...
:lol:

Yes, why not both? Have some ambition, fellow DbyAers! ;D But yes, seriously, this sounds like a noble undertaking. I even wrote something, but it ended up being about Eleven and not really what lostspook and johne were looking for I don't think, but here it is anyway: www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?sid=37461MAJOR SPOILERS for NuWho S5 from ep "Cold Blood" onwards, so be warned!! And obviously, it may take a while for the Teaspoon mods to validate it...

I don't know how you manage to write so darn quickly - I am in awe of your no-doubt smoking keyboard. I have a time period and a basic plot now, but I'm still working on a different WIP, so now it has to take a back seat until that one gets through the pipe. Argh!
On the other hand, now I can start jumping from one to the other when I hit a blockage at points A or B.

It's a good approach to take, I find. And my keyboard has indeed seen better days...
