No Sex Please, I'm a Super Inteligent, World Saving Alien.

Ok, so you know my Doctor is Asexual. Not that he cannot love anyone who isn't a Time Lord, just that that love would be platonic. This of course gets in the way of reading shipper fic with The Doctor. It is so for from my Doctor you wouldn't believe ( Read more... )

My Doctor is Asexual too.

Jack/Jack I never heard of or read before and neither would I bother either.

I can cope with very very VERY few ships in the Whoniverse and even those I can (there are only 2) are slash.....Which are by nature OCC anyway so dont really count at all.

But my COMPLETE Loathing rests at the moment on Doctor/Donna because it is SO SO SO SO unbelievably far from what I believe to be their relationship that I cant even bring myself to read one single fic where they are the pairing.

Donna/Doctor, *in shock*.......*runs away and hids*

lifefailsme August 21 2008, 20:46:23 UTC

Oh hell yeah, there are comms out there with Doctor/Donna fic as the main pairing! I cant give you an opinion on them because I have never read further than the pairing in the headers LOL

D: Nooooooooo! There should never be Doctor/Donna! The beauty of their relationship was that neither of them liked each other romantically at all! I loved Donna as a companion, she's been my total favourite of the new Who.

Damn it people! Just 'cause she's a female doesn't mean they have to bonk! D:

*Nods* I have major issues with romance in the Who world. It just doesn't sit right at all. I pretty much barfed at the Clone Doctor/Rose smooch, which I know isn't a popular reaction but...Eh. I've written a couple of Jack/10 fics, but even those have flirting Jack/reluctant but tolerant Doctor. I think the idea of the actors together appeals to me more than the characters. It's easy to forget what and who the Doctor is when he's played by a good looking guy.

lifefailsme August 21 2008, 20:30:26 UTC

I loathed WITH A PASSION the whole Clone!10/Rose ending, it made me barf and was so OCC! Even Billie said it was wrong in Condiential straight after the episode!

As for the slash thing, like I said it's OCC anyway so doesnt count. But I must admit I do like Jack/10 stuff but so far only by one writer alone.... Do you have any links to your Jack/10 slash that I could check out? *grin*

caelith August 21 2008, 20:39:19 UTC

I'm not surprised she said it was wrong. I was to pissed-off to watch confidential that night so I missed it sadly.

Oh I shamelessly read Jack/10 fics, I just find most romancy things hard 'cause I grew up watching Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker etc and they're my Doctor templates. Doctor/human just makes me shudder lol.

I has linkage :D The first one was a challenge and the second one was a sequel kinda.

1st one

2nd one

lifefailsme August 22 2008, 09:24:28 UTC

Can I just say, awesome iconage! LOL

Okay I have opened the fics in a new tab and when I get through catching up with my flist I will read them! Thanks for that!

My doctor is also asexual ergo I forgo any and all Whofic. I simply find it impossible to find any non ship related fic.

I'm not a fan of slash (personal preference not a vendetta or a political statement) so I don't read Jack/Jack although I will occasionally make forays into Jack/Ianto because it's canon.

I didn't mind the Clone10/Rose kiss all that much because he was half human and therefor NOT. MY. DOCTOR. It *did* make me flinch, though.
I'm a typical canon whore.

woman_of_ August 21 2008, 21:45:20 UTC

I think we pretty much agree. The Doctor is a just to removed from a human to be in a relationship with them, it would be unequal to such a large degree. I cannot see them relating at all!

I can see them having feelings for each other, but it would be platonic.

lilithbint August 21 2008, 20:41:58 UTC

I have no problem writing Jack/Jack because there was a greater tolerance of homosexuality during the war than we realise now. Their biggest sin was to act on it in public and had Jack not been going to die the next day there would have been greater repercussions for his career. The relationship couldn't have survived in 1941, which is why I normally bring original Jack into the future somehow. Men were more physically demonstrative during the war than after it, there is a wonderful book chronically life on naval ships during WWII which had a lot of photos of the men embracing and touching each other without care.

For me with the Doctor the issue is that he's an alien, so for him it would be something like bestiality to have sex with humans *G* but it adds a kink level for me to write the Doctor sexual, at least with Jack.

woman_of_ August 21 2008, 21:49:39 UTC

That might've been in a male only enviroment, but not at a dance, with women there. No the Jack/Jack doesn't sit right with me at all. My family went through WWII and were not into the male embracing, even within the family, or the rules of the military at the time.

Doctor human *shudder*

shinodabear August 21 2008, 20:53:07 UTC

All fics aside, I'm agreeing with you. Is that too much of a contradiction? Okay, let me put it this way: Blame it on Tennant ( ... )

woman_of_ August 21 2008, 21:56:14 UTC

Possibly with Jack/Jack I am tained by the fact that my exams in history where from that time period, and so I studied a lot of it. It just wouldn't be acceptable, therefore the episode is flawed.

The Doctor in a pairing, still doesn't wash with me. Just cannot get on board with it at all!

Glad we basically agree.
