Beyond the Roundels

Recs of any sort may be posted at any time, but in addition we have monthly themes. tardis_library's theme for September is now closed, and here is our new theme for October:


Second Doctor // Fall

"If we'd have fallen into the Master's trap, we would have become fiction."

This month is for celebrating the Second Doctor's era and your favourite work involving anything and anyone from it! You can also rec works that involve the theme of fall in any way - from the season, to pitfalls, pratfalls, falls from grace, pride going before a fall, falling into a trap, etc. etc. Or, as ever, both combined!

Post your recs to the community in the normal way any time from now until midnight on 31st October 2025 in your timezone. (See Info & Guidelines for posting template and instructions). Recs posted for monthly themes have their own tag with banners at the end of the year for reccers who posted a rec for 6 or more of each year's themes.

When making your post, add the tag "other: monthly theme". (The mods can take care of any other needed tags if you prefer, but a challenge/theme tag could easily be missed.)



Request List
Anyone may also request any specific recs they'd like to see. (e.g. "Fourth Doctor fic, not on Teaspoon," "Cheerful Bill Potts artwork," "Leela vid," "recent Ten/Rose," etc.) If you are only interested in one medium (fic/vid/art etc/), don't forget to specify.

Current requests:
* Classic Who fanvids, any Doctor/TARDIS team (music, no/minimal audio quotes preferred), especially out there on tumblr/YT - thisbluespirit
* Twelfth Doctor h/c that's not on AO3 (any pairing or gen) - ruuger
* Rose/Nine fic, any genre, anywhere - anon
* Jack/Esther fic (Torchwood) - chamilet
* Babyfic and/or de-age fic, any era/any team - romanajo123
* Fanworks in more unusual media (not Art, Fic, or Vids) - lurking_latinist
* Gen fic featuring the Doctor's scarf any era - liadt
* fic set after Planet of Giants that focus on the events of that story - scifirenegade


Make your requests in the comments here to be added to the list. (Anon commenting is on.) If you make a rec that fills any of these requests, please add the "other: request" tag to your entry so it can be found easily.)
