CHALLENGE: Power Trip
All right, so we tried leaving it to luck, and look how well that went. (Which is to say, spectacularly.) But now it's time to take charge, to grab the reins, to take control.
It's time for The Power Challenge.
The man who's beaten death and a lord of time - they're not just lucky sods. They're men of strange and dangerous power, and I haven't even begun to discuss the strength of 51st century pheromones yet. They make plans, they change lives, they span centuries: they are rare creatures indeed.
And sometimes they're terrifyingly helpless.
So for a month (ish, and it would fit the challenge if I blamed my inability to close last month on time to circumstances beyond my control, for which many apologies), we're placing Jack and the Doctor in your power. Are they gods? Are they pawns? Are they all of the above and something in between? When is too much power a bad thing? How do you recover from feeling like the world is utterly out of your control? When is it safe to turn over control to someone you trust? When is it cathartic to simply have it stripped away?
Regardless, one thing is sure: the power play between the two of them will -never- be boring.
As a gentle reminder, please don't crosspost stories for this challenge to other comms until the challenge closes. (Which, as usual, will be about one month from now.) And don't forget - leave a comment in THIS post and tell us what you think the next challenge should be!
Until then, have at it: the Doctor and Jack await, and they're entirely at your disposal....
Power's a heady thing, isn't it?
