Doctor Who Fanon
Advertisement

Hello everyone. I'm pleased to see that there is a Doctor Who fanon site, as I have been imagining how I would have written my own episodes since last year. I would like to check if what I plan on doing is okay, plus give a heads up on what I plan on doing, should I be allowed to do so.

While watching Steven's era as showrunner for Doctor Who last year, I began imagining what kind of episodes I would write for the show, to a point that I began imagining what it would been like if I had been the one to take over as showrunner instead of Chris, and even had been around to write a handful of episodes during Steven's era, the same way he wrote a few episodes for Russell's era (wishful thinking, I know.)

Because of this, (and the fact that, unless time travel becomes a reality, this could never happen in real life) I'd actually like to write these episodes and present them as fanon. My plan is to write the episodes that I would have written for Steven's era (at least three Eleven/Matt episodes and at least two Twelve/Peter episodes) followed by several episodes that would have taken place during my own era of Doctor Who if such an era had existed. This would mean however, that at this point The Doctor would be a regeneration that doesn't exist, as it would regeneration that I had written.

The general idea is (if this is okay) my era is a non-existent era between Steven's era and Chris's era; i.e. Peter's Doctor (Twelfth) would regenerate into a Doctor of my own creation, and my final Doctor (I plan on writing fanon for two Doctors) would be the one who regenerates into Jodie's Doctor. So what would basically happen is that a lot of my episodes would be about fan made Thirteenth and Fourteenth Doctors (though I may have a surprise in store for the latter...) leading to Jodie being the Fifteenth Doctor in this reality.

This is nothing against Chris's era or Jodie's time as The Doctor (neither of which I've seen) as like I say it still exists in my fanon, just later than it does in real life.

While I have nothing against female protagonists (in fact, I love them) my Doctors will be male, as that is what I feel more confident in writing (I do love writing heroic female characters, but I can easily do that with other characters both here, and in my other projects.)

Would it be okay to write this kind of fanon, especially the part about inserting my own Doctors into the storyline, or am I limited to only writing stories about existing Doctors?

I have no idea when this will start, if I'm allowed to do it, as I am writing several projects as we speak, but I look forward to it if I can do it.
