But participating in DW fandom has changed the way I see things so much. I've actually torn down a lot of my worldview and re-built it because of the influence of the people I have met. It's forced me to become less judgemental and more thoughtful in my approach to people. *nodnodnod*
I've also become passionate again about things I had kind of lost my zeal for [like feminism- thanks River!] not because I had stopped caring about these things, but because I needed new approaches, and fandom gave me that. This. It's far too easy to get jaded about stuff. Fandom creates a whole different platform.
So the Doctor can be a good influence on adults too, I guess. Stories are how we learn to live... Very very true. (My brain is too tired to do something more meta. But yes.)
If you want, I can help out with that? Being neutrois myself and all. *does a Doctor-y finger-wavy thing* I would love that, but... Well, it's a character in my Not the Last 'verse (AU about the Master's son), which I don't feel I can ask someone to start reading unless they're really interested in that kinda thing. OK, so all the different stories can stand alone, more or less, but the story in which this particular character shows up is by far the longest (34,000 words - and it's still a WIP!), and said character doesn't turn up until chapter 6 (and was a bit of a surprise to me, to be honest. But from what was supposed to be a one-line cameo a proper, fully former character just appeared - and then demanded to be written. Writing is a STRANGE thing). Also, sie's only a supporting character, and it's a bit more complicated than 'gender neutral', which is just me trying to aim for the best description I can find. But if you want to have a look at some point, it's the story called 'Dating the Cleverest Boy in the World'.
...
Of course reading some of the other stories first would probably help, but I think it stands alone pretty well. I tried my best at any rate.
I wish my parents had cared so much :) <3 They probably do care, but these things aren't always easy... (I say, not knowing the first thing about your life. OK, I'm gonna go now.)
Haha, I'll give it a try If you do read it I will LOVE YOU FOREVER btw. It's my tiny little pocket universe and I love it far too much... But it is Ten era, rather than Eleven. Well nearly - there's this little thing which features Eleven. (Since the whole verse goes AU at the end of S3, the Tenth Doctor lives a lot longer, and never goes off the rails etc.) This fic is very silly, though, and should make you smile. :) ETA: Oh, and in case it isn't obvious from that particular fic, the Master's son was born during The Year That Never Was, and because of him the Master agreed to be the Doctor's prisoner. So... a very different dynamic, you see?
[I don't think I've sat down and read yr fics yet. Shame on me.] Oh no worries. I... write a lot, and I'm rubbish at doing short.
Oh, yes, I know @___@ *points to icon*
oh they really didn't, but I won't go into my life story here XD :( *sends hugs to the other side of the world*
>>Oh no worries. I... write a lot, and I'm rubbish at doing short.
I'm the total opposite! Everything I write is so short. I think 1000 words is my highest record [only achieved once]. My mind boggles at people who write novels and such.

(If only I could turn this talent to original stories, I'd totally have a stab at being a novelist. So far it's all fic though.)
And I hope you enjoy. Eleventy is always fun. ;) Oh and the format is not typical of the 'verse btw. I was just being silly.
I think it's really dependant on how your brain works in general. Everything I do [writing, art, conversation] seems to be super minimalist in nature. I could probably write longer stories if I tried, but it would feel forced and unnatural to me.
