A serious plea for DW Writers
This comes from amberfocus:
Getting Serious for a Moment--DW Fanfic Writers Please Read
Hey, everyone, I'd like to make a special request from the DW fanfic writers on my f-list. A friend of mine has told me about a little boy in her life that is eight years old. A year ago he lost his legs and he will never be able to use artificial legs. He will be confined to a wheelchair for life and he's had a really, really hard time adapting to his situation. He adores Doctor Who and Rose Tyler in particular. He's only seen seasons one and two, but it's the one thing that is helping a little bit.
My friend asked if there was anyone I knew who would be willing to write a Doctor Who story for this little boy, using a character of a heroic little boy named Jack confined to some sort of fancy space age wheelchair, perhaps a flying one, who joins the Doctor and Rose for an adventure. I write adult romance (very adult, usually) and do not feel like writing for younger children is the sort of thing I can tackle myself. I was hoping there would be someone who could tackle doing a story like this.
There is so much talent and heart in the Doctor/Rose shipping community. I've seen the outpouring of it before for Stacie and for disaster victims. Is there anyone who thinks they are up for this? Or more than one person? I'm sure one story would be awesome, but more than one would be fantastic.
I'd also like to ask that this request be spread throughout your f-lists. The more that people know about it, the better chance we'll have of at least one story to help lift this child's spirits.
ETA: Due to the outpouring of support from the Who fandom amberfocus has created a comm so that whatever we can offer be it fics, beta services, g-rated plot bunnies or illustrations to stories can be offered and shared.
