As I mentioned during the last DWlive, I've been tossing around several ideas for new fic projects I could start lately. Our discussions on Live, as usual, gave me several more cracky ones, and actually one particularly odd AUish one I wanted to run by you guys. So here's that one, just for your reactions:
Time Lords don't regenerate- or at least, not how the universe thinks they do. When a Time Lord dies their consciousness actually goes into the Matrix and hangs out. When a Time Lord body regenerates, it is actually inhabited by one of the available consciousness from the Matrix, while the consciousness that just got themselves killed kicks back to think over their decisions and get a bit of R&R. The real secret of the Time Lords is that they are in fact the universe's greatest method actors. They all enjoy pretending to be the person they regenerated into. Post-regeneration craziness is actually them getting into character and the "new personality" and "quirks" or each regeneration are in fact each Time Lord's personal take on exciting characters like The Doctor and The Master.
Reactions? I don't know about you guys, but this take makes me tilt my head and giggle at some of the status-quo of Who, like the Doctor and the Master's epic soap opera feud, and go "oh, wow..."

That's an interesting take on it....I don't actually know if I would read it, though. Not sure if that helps.....-shrug- Maybe if it was presented as a short crackish fic. As a serious one...probably a bit too different while staying in the realm of science fiction and not sticking the characters in a modern situation or fusing them with another universe. I really kind of enjoy those.

I probably wont write it ,but I find it presents a bizarre range of possibilities.
I mean, what it Six really is Commander Maxil reincarnated? And all of Six's less desirable characteristics are Maxil getting back at him for the Arc of infinity?
