Since I took advantage of this meme to make requests of

persiflage_1, I must reciprocate!!

The first ten people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, requesters should post this in their journal, offering in return fanworks of the kind they enjoy doing. Fic? Icons? Meta?

Probably not a good idea in many ways but I like a challenge. (Although if

primsong is thinking of anything along the lines of the suggestion she gave last time I did a meme, I may run away).

Edit: I should add, I'm happy to do anything, not just DW provided I know it in some way, having read/watched/written it. (As I said, challenge is fun.)

Oh, and here's the 'moral' for Image of the Fendahl from DWM's Everything I Needed To Know About Life I learned From... The Fourth Doctor (by Gareth Roberts). From 2000 - I feel ancient!!

IMAGE OF THE FENDAHL
Granny Tyler knew there was something wrong up at old Fetch Priory when them scientists moved in. I mean, imagine you got a new a job and your colleagues were called Dr Fendelman, Max Stael, Thea Ransome and Adam Colby. Why don't they just call themselves 'Professor Crazy', 'Adolf Evil', 'Wendy Doomed' and 'Johnny Squarejaw' and have done with it?

Moral - Beware people with made-up sounding names.

(I re-read the whole series after finding it and giggled again. These things amuse me.)

Hehe, this AU!TW is highly amusing. Having not yet fulfilled my own meme duties to you I probably shouldn't give a prompt, especially since you're being so very nice and proofing for me, but...

I is ebil.

Can I request Sarah-Jane, exploring the TARDIS wardrobe (not really concerned with which Doctor's she's with at the time)

You can, but bear with me - I did the other two first and they took rather a while paring back down to drabble-size!!

Thanks for your patience & also for the prompt, because it would never have occurred to me to write this else and it was fun to do. It also became a double drabble.

Sarah was getting used – if anyone could – to exploring new worlds, to the weirdness and wonderfulness of travelling with the Doctor, but nothing had quite prepared her for this.

She was worried she might lose herself. Not that she was someone who wasted more hours than she needed to thinking about clothes, but this – oh, this was something else again.

It was as if every item of costumery from across the whole universe had landed in one impossibly large space. When the Doctor had told her to get something from the wardrobe, she’d envisaged an item of furniture, not this endless room. He rarely even changed his own outfit much, so that hadn’t given her an inkling, although she supposed she really should have known by now.

She balanced two more hats on her head and grinned as she looked in a long mirror nearby and tried to do a twirl in the oversized blue dress that brought her falling to the floor in a heap of material, hats, coats and her now-revealed hefty lace petticoat and she laughed helplessly at her silliness.

It was a good thing she was a well-read girl who’d left the door open behind her.

Weee! Lovely! Thank you so much. The mental image of Sarah-Jane balancing hats on her head is just perfect (I get the impression that Sarah-Jane for whatever traumatic-childhood-reason really does enjoy playing dress-up, that, and her spinning about in Victoria's dress in Pyramids, and the way her outfit would change every other scene in Three's era...) and then the ending! Which tops it all off, and, considering the TARDIS, is very, very appropriate.

I'm glad you liked it. I started with the last line and worked backwards, which was new for me. :-) Yes, about the only companion who enjoyed dressing up as much or more than Sarah was Vicki.
