RP meme stolen from a few people~:

There are characters we want to play and are meaning to do so. But what inspires us to pick these characters in particular? What about them clicks in our head? Compile a list of the characters you are planning to play or hope to, then let your friends ask any question(s) about them.

The shortlist:-Rory Williams

This...is a toughie. I wouldn't want to bring him from too early on, but I wouldn't want to bring him from during the Hungry Earth/Cold Blood two-parter either, nor near the end while he's all Auton Centurion and such (though I think that would be interesting to play with. Have him die then bring him back in Auton mode...hmm.)

I'm thinking in between Amy's Choice and The Hungry Earth. I want to see where those three books fall in terms of the timeline.

Of course...I could take him from during The Big Bang where he's watching over the Pandorica for all those years... That'd be interesting. It'd be something I'd have to deal with sooner or later.

...You know, I just got an idea for an AU. What if it was Amy who died at the end of Cold Blood instead of Rory? How would the adventures with Eleven have been different? How would the end with Amy, the Pandorica, and ALL THAT have turned out?

Crap. :| It can't be a simple switcheroo, not with the way everything is fixed in the end. All that memory stuff with Amy is far too important, even from the beginning.

And actually, the more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes--even moreso than my Ten AU and that thing is...yeah. I think I might stick to canon for this one >.>

It was deceptively simple when I first thought of it!!!! But then I started writing it out in the comment, and was like, oh crap...oh CRAP as it just kept on getting more and more complex and yeah :| I blame my logical brain for wanting to figure things out properly and being like, oh let's jsut switch it all up! (And it hasn't figured out a really clever workaround yet because oh dear god, that's one is just...yeah.) Of course...I could go back even more and have it so it was Rory who met Eleven first, but I don't know. That doesn't sit well with me.

I knoooow, I love Auton/Centurion!Rory. I'm half-tempted to see what it'd be like if he was in Centurion mode to start with, like I said above. Dunno. Just the thought of an Amy who doesn't remember Rory and a Rory who doesn't remember Amy is sad and poignant to me...
