Why Be Stuck At Home When You Can Go Into A Bar?

Wheee,
intoabar is coming back for another round! (Signups start May 3.) I always enjoy this one. It's such a fun concept, and it always gets me to write things I would never in a million years have thought to do otherwise.[*]

As usual, this has provoked a flurry of mental activity for me, as I try to settle on a character to pick. I'm thinking maybe Michael from The Good Place this time. I love him so much, and I haven't written him nearly enough. And there are so many people he could have really fun interactions with!

Which leaves me needing to settle on which crossover fandoms to sign up for. They seem to have changed the rules on Doctor Who this time. Used to be, you could sign up for New Who as a whole, or for the eras of specific Classic Who Doctors only. Now, thought, the rules say you can sign up for a specific Doctor, or for Doctor Who as a whole "if you are feeling particularly feeling brave." Am I that brave? God help me, I think I might be.

[*]No, seriously, I've written some wonderfully weird and fascinating character combinations for this one. Including:

John Crichton (Farscape) and the Master (Doctor Who)
Odo (Star Trek: Deep Space 9) and Brock Samson (Venture Bros.)
The Brain (Pinky & the Brain) and Aeryn Sun (Farscape)
Jarod (The Pretender) and Mr. Gold (Once Upon a Time)
Belle (Once Upon a Time) and Dominar Rygel XVI (Farscape)
Carlos (Welcome to Night Vale) and Dr. Zoidberg (Futurama)
Emma Swan (Once Upon a Time) and Clara Oswald (Doctor Who)
Death (Discworld) and Zelena (Once Upon a Time)
Aziraphale (Good Omens) and Tahani Al-Jamil (The Good Place)

Admittedly, some of those were easier to write than others, and some of them undoubtedly came out better than others, but how can you not have a blast with assignments like those? I'll be very much looking forward to seeing what I end up with this time!
