CHALLENGE: Power Trip

[wojelah]

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 ChallengeThe 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

Fix the episode Exit Wounds have the doctor find Jack before he is buried for 2000 years. Or have them talk after the 2000 years about his brother or all the things going bad for JAck

This prompt by sarkywoman? ^ Pure gold!

Umm...I'd still like the AU challenge for fixing episodes/meeting in different situations/out of context fic, but I'd also like to spam you with a few other ideas...sorry!

Life and Death (since they're big themes in the DW universe)
History (Jack and the Doctor both have twisting, painful pasts and have lived a long time...or simply about time travel)
Mistakes (from little ones like leaving the TARDIS kettle on to dooming an entire world...or forgetting your boyfriend's birthday...)
Memory (What are Jack's missing memories? How would amnesia affect their relationship? What are the good times/bad times they remember?)

I got a couple too:

Pride
I was rewatching VotD not too long ago, and I *finally* made out what the Doctor shouts when he kicks the broken teleport: "I can do anything!" So...Jack and the Doctor both know they have abilities that outstrip those of most everyone around them. But that knowledge often leads to overconfidence. How many times have they both been so certain they can handle a situation, only to find things spiraling even further out of control? Or made choices for others because they believe they know best, only to watch that person's trust fall apart? How might pride come between them? (I'm in angst mode right now, but I'm certain there's a lighter angle to this one, too--games of one-upsmanship?)

LoveI was talking to an off-LJ friend of mine earlier today, and she said that she thinks Jack confuses friendship with love. (I disagree...but it got me thinking...) How do Jack and the Doctor understand love? (And/or friendship? And/or commitment?) How do their long lives and the times/places where they came of age

Just to let you know, I'm using the prompt pride in my Jack/Ianto challenge community lovingthecoat and your idea here helped me to write the challenge prompt - so thank you!

Yay! I'm glad it's getting use. :) Thanks for letting me know!

Hello, I'm writing to inform the Mods of this community that one of the authors who has submitted written works to this community has been found to be a plagiarist.

You're more than welcomed. And Thank You so very much for your quick reply. And to think, I was just making my way down the list of stories posted here (as I'm a huge Dr. Who/Torchwood fan as well) when the alarm was raised in the Stargate community. Dag nabbit. I think I made it a quarter of the way down. LOL!

Thanks again and take care.

~later!

Just wanted to ask: When's the next challenge comming? It's already well into May...

[trobadora]

Hi there! We opened the last challenge a bit late, and we want to leave it open for at least one full month. (Also, I'm still working on my own entry, which is giving me trouble. *sighs*) But the next challenge will definitely arrive on the weekend. :-)

[vail_kagami]

Maybe there could be a way to get the challenges back to starting at the beginning of the month and not in the middle. Like, you could post the toppic of a new challenge on the first but close the old one only when there was a full month to write for it. The new one would not really be opened before the old one is closed, i.e. we can't post our stories, but we can at least start writing them and have a full month before the challenge is closed on the fisrt day of the next month.
I hope this wasn't too confusing...

[trobadora]

That's a good suggestion! We'll definitely give it some thought and try to get back to a more regular schedule soon. :-)
