River is a child of the TARDIS, an archeologist, and a seasoned time traveler. She goes pretty much anywhere and anywhen she pleases. Whether she's imprisoned or not. River can be reckless at times, she is always flirting, and also a trained assassin. Despite that, she has learned love from her parents and her husband. She can now care about others and she mostly does the right thing. Although money or opportunity has been known to sway her alignment too.
Mostly she travels on her own, it's just simpler. But I would definitely not be against her having a companion or two, now and again. It would be really fun to do a bit of a longlived plot, where she gets to have companions or be a companion, or just be part of a team somehow. Either way, River would have a lot of friends. Although probably just as many enemies. She does have a tendency to step on toes and not care enough to apologize. So a nemisis is possible too and would be absolutely hilarious to do! I imagine it would be something like The doctor and the master's relationship. Like they try to kill each other, but secretly they kinda like each other?
Her current location is The Library. But since she has traveled to anywhere (in space and time), she can plot with pretty much anyone.
What I'm really after, is putting together a team to break River out of the Library. It doesn't have to be lead by a doctor, although that is definitely an option too. Nardole is the one character that we know has been to The Library and survived, so he's a clear candidate. But anyone is welcome really!

I was wondering if you had anything particular in mind to bring River back into actual reality, from virtual reality?
Regardless, Susan would be happy to help. She's got her own TARDIS, and having fought for Gallifrey in the last days of the Time War, she can probably find it again, should River's return to life require Time Lord technology...
Please let me know if you'd like to plot this out further with Susan -- but if River would prefer to be saved by the Doctor, I promise I won't be offended. <3

hey! I have nothing in the plans, as of yet. You're the first to put your hand up, so if you want, she can definitely help! All I have so far is a plan that will probably involve cloning a body of hers, and downloading her from the library and putting her into that body If Timelord technology was involved, she might even get some regenerations back. That would be cool ^^ I was thinking that she could possibly exist in a TARDIS, as a midway thing, while cloning the body. In her virtual form. Like the hologram form. Sort of. Not sure if that would work. But it's an idea. If Susan is gonna be part of the team, we should probably establish some kind of relationship between them first. I don't want to call all the shots though, so do you have any ideas for that? Susan Foreman

Sorry for my delay!
The basic plan that I came up with a few years ago, on another site where I wrote for River, went something like this:
Perhaps after many, many years, the Vashta Nerada either died out or otherwise left The Library, leaving it abandoned but also safe for other lifeforms to visit. Once there, [presumably the Doctor] would download River's data ghost [maybe with his Sonic?] and then head to Gallifrey, where her data ghost could be uploaded to one of the House looms, which would be able to create a new Time Lord body for her (which would look like Alex Kingston, of course, as that's how her data ghost would have been coded). Her new body would also come with a fresh set of regenerations (if you wanted to use them; to be frank though, I wouldn't want to play her with any other face, but that's just me).
If you like that, I have absolutely no issue with your using it -- I would just ask that Susan be included. <3
~~~
As far as getting Susan to know River beforehand... I don't have as clear of an idea. But, we should totally have a thread for them before we go and save River from The Library!
Both ladies have their own means of time travel, which is super handy. We can set our thread virtually anywhere and any-when. Might you have any specific time period that you'd like to explore? Any particular culture (on Earth, or elsewhere)? Let's sort out our preferences, and then go from there, shall we?

That sounds like a great plan! Susan should definitely be involved! I actually wouldn't mind if The Doctor wasn't involved in the rescue. It would create some drama between them. xD Also, I totally agree that I would not want to change her face. Alex Kingston is River as far as I'm concerned. It would be totally weird to change her. ---- Oooh you're right, they could go anywhere Hmm. Maybe some historic period on earth? I don't really have a specific preference, but anything, where River would stick out like a sore thumb, is always hilarious. Like anything where you have to be prim and proper xD I'd be up for pretty much anything. Vikings, native Indians? Royal court? xD

River SongHmm... How about: not long after regenerating into her current incarnation, Susan's TARDIS brings her to a tribe of early indigenous people in North America. Knowing Susan, she'll likely have made friends with them - and due to their mythology, they will see her as one of the benevolent Star People from their mythology and will have the utmost respect for her. And then River shows up, probably looking for some sort of artifact - something that the "Star People" (an incarnation of the Doctor and a companion or two?), probably by mistake, left with them several years earlier (ie: some sort of technology from the far future). I would see this River as a fairly early River, still using archaeology to find the Doctor - and she finds Susan, instead. How's that suit you?

Susan ForemanThat sounds great! A River in her university days, I'm imagining. She would be quite young then. Before she married The Doctor ^^

I'd love to do a thread with Ian and River. There is an audio with them both in, where they meet before Ian meets the Doctor. If you've heard it, it would be good to have them meet up again later. If not, that's fine too, and we can have them meet for the first time instead.

Hey! sorry for the delay in my reply. I would love for them to meet. But I'm afraid I haven't heard that audio. I'm kinda behind on the River ones. I think I've only listened to the first season of her 'diary' audio stories. But we could definitely do a thread with them from before that audio. Although I will say I haven't played with any of the audio stories as canon. But if I happen to listen to it, I'll let you know, if i think it would be canon or not Ian Chesterton

The fun of Doctor Who is being able to choose what's canon and what's not For an idea, Ian is old-fashioned, so he comes across River and thinks she needs rescuing. But he ends up getting himself into trouble and needs her to rescue him.

That sounds pretty much like how River would meet everyone xD I love it! Would you like to start something? I'm very slow with posts at the moment. But I would love to add another thread to my list Ian Chesterton
