It's
podtor_who day two, for me. Since yesterday was "The Doctor And A Small Child" storytime, today is going to be "The Doctor's Child" storytime. Jenny is, after all, the Doctor's daughter - and she's quite excellent all on her own, thank you very much.
Five Times Jenny Met One Of The Doctor's Companions, written by
netgirl_y2k, is fantastic on so many levels. I love this kind of storytelling: where Jenny is awesome for her own merits, and the Doctor's Companions are awesome even without the Doctor around, and we get to see what everyone's lives are like when they're not running, running, running. (Well, okay, there's actually still a rather lot of running, even without the Doctor - but that's probably more a reflection of the kind of person Jenny is than a statement about her father). I absolutely believe that this is what Jenny would be doing, if we ever got her a spin-off - running through the galaxy, cleaning up her father's messes, and being amazing.
The story is nine and a half minutes long (1164 words, which meets the
podtor_who minumum). You can download the podfic as an mp3
right over here (thank you,
paraka, for hosting me!) OR you can stream the story by clicking above. Don't forget,
podtor_who is running until the end of the month - and there's still time for you to sign up, if you want to record a podfic!
