meme

I've being seeing this meme going around my flist and figured I'd give it a go as I'm trying to get back into the fanfic mindset:

I currently have 90 works posted on AO3. Choose a random number - no peeking! - between 1 (most recently posted/updated) and 90, and I will tell you three random things about that story.

AO3 doesn't have the majority of my fic, my LJ predates it by quite a bit and not only I did not move a lot of my existing stuff over, I do not crosspost most of my shorter things (drabbles, double drabbles and the like) there either, but there's a bunch of stuff, so have at it!

90, please?

Heee, 90. Okay, that was something I uploaded to test AO3 before uploading my Yuletide fics for 2009 (Yuletide was the reason I got an AO3 account).

Here's a Doctor, There's a Doctor (http://archiveofourown.org/works/13827) is just a silly fic with all the Doctors (well, One through Nine, I wrote it shortly after Ten's first appearance and hadn't gotten a feel for him yet) winding up meeting each other as a result of the Master's interference. (Classic!Who Master, SimmMaster hadn't appeared yet).

It was a weird fic to write, how do you refer to the various incarnations of the same character? I went with nicknames and some were obvious and actually canon (there is some 'name calling' in both 'The Three Doctors' and 'The Five Doctors') but then there's the fact the oldest looking of the Doctors is actually the youngest and other things like that which just make the writing more complicated. It was also hard to try to get the voices right.

Looking back on it now I do shudder a bit at the dialog tags, now I tend towards the more simple 'said' in most cases, then, apparently I did not.
