Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.Some variations of this thing have "on request, I'll post a random line from the fic" or "on request, I'll cheerfully bore you with all the details". And since I've excluded my PurimGifts fic from the list you can feel free to you know, go wild

Ah - yes! This one is a response-in-the-making to the wee bits of canon we have about the Doctor and Queen Elizabeth I. (Not Elizabeth X, although she admittedly would also make an epic companion.) Specifically, I take issue to the implication that he married her, had sex with her, and left her behind. (Mostly because I hold to a strict Doctor-as-asexual interpretation of canon.)

So instead this is the story of how reckless, I-can-do-anything, late-season!Ten picks up a young Elizabeth I, much as he had intended to pick up Madame de Pompadour, and then they go gallivanting all over the universe and point of fact they DO get married, four or five times, because, you know, these things happen sometimes when time travelling to strange new cultures, and then somewhere in the 51st century Elizabeth goes off and picks up a contraceptive implant and proceeds to get quite sexually liberated indeed without ever having to worry about pregnancy and all loss of power and social awfulness that would have resulted.

And then one day she makes some comment to the effect of, you know, Doctor, you're a bit crazypants, maybe you should reign it in and try that "responsibility" thing? And he gets miffed, in fine old Ten style, and decides he's been keeping a historical figure away from her rightful place in history for far too long now and dumps her back home without so much as a by-your-leave.

Which fills all the canonical requirements: she married the Doctor, her nickname of "the virgin queen" is not accurate, and an older Elizabeth is pissed as hell to see Martha and the Doctor at the Globe Theater. Also, we would get to have epic, ass-kicking Elizabeth I, which is pretty much canon so far as HISTORY is concerned, so, yes.
