The Doctor’s tenth incarnation goes through a lot of phases, with ups and downs and I think rather interesting implications to character development. There’s the Rose era, which I would call the carefree years (very broadly speaking), post Rose melancholy (sorry Martha), a certain recovery with Donna, and those companion-less moments in between, which are mean drifting to a mentally darker place each time, culminating in „Waters of Mars“ and „End of Time“.
Unless we want to so a „Time Clash“ or „Out of time“ kind of story - and believe me, I am more than up for it, the more the merrier - meeting with other incarnations would be tricky.
Logical story partners would be those within the above mentioned time line: Rose, Sarah Jane, and Jack would be easy to find story points with. Tobias snugly fits in there as well I think (I haven’t read all the threads on the board yet so I am not sure if he’s run into a Doctor before, which would complicate things, although not impossibly.) The list also includes the Metacrisis Doctor, we just have to find a (another) reason of why crossing between the realities become temporarily possible once more.
River is in my book almost a must. I always felt that something is missing between „Silence in the Library“ and „Time of the Angels“. I feel he’s more familiar with her so there would have been another meeting in between, in my mind.
Susan would probably be tricky, especially given my exceedingly small knowledge of the classical era, but if there’s interest, we could conjure something up.
The Master .. gosh, I love that relationship, how carefully balanced and complicated it is. In this case after all the things that happened with Ten already I can’t think of an elegant meeting point, but would be game if you can think of one.
Clara and Amy: Tricky, but now impossible if we can take care of the obvious „mustn’t remember afterward“ problem without having River’s lipstick handy.
Finally, I don’t mind (and actually quite like) larger threads that involve more than two people. The character dynamics are just different. I am absolutely not afraid of complicated stories.
The short summary of all this: Let me know who’s interested and I almost guarantee I’ll come up with a story idea.

The Tenth DoctorTobias: So, Tobias ran into Ten last time we had one but that thread didn't actually go far. As such, I'd say we could pretty much do whatever you'd like with these two. Tobias would probably fit more around when Ten was still traveling with Rose, which I think plot-wise would fit his character. Tobias isn't entirely meant to hang around the best people even though he definitely comes across as a good person whiiich probably means he could easily make for someone who stumbles across an adventure that he didn't want at all XD The Master: So, I figure how smoothly this can be done depends on which incarnation it is. I personally think the easiest way would be by having it be the Saxon!Master, as a thread could effectively take place during the Year That Never Was. Of course, the thread would obviously have to be a bit dark. Alternatively, if it was the current Master I play (which is an incarnation between Saxon and Missy) or any previous ones, I think some timey wimeyness might make it work (a Time Clash likely working best since the Master has a bad habit of playing around with time in dangerous ways). An alternative that comes to mind would be playing around with the notion of alternate timelines (which are different from parallel universes and basically mean you accidentally jumped a time path). I'm specifically thinking of this. What I'm basically zeroing in on is Ten's claim that he was called Merlin by Arthur, which would be interesting in an encounter between the Master and the Doctor.

Hi Momo, does the previous thread you mention happen to be this one? ( fish-n-chips.boards.net/thread/476/invitation ) I’d say I am happy to pick up where you left off, but there’s not much there. And you’d have to fill me in on what kind of plotting had happened. If we could get Rose aboard I’d absolute love a lighthearted meeting of the three. As for the Saxon Master idea, I am absolutely not afraid to go dark. Although I’d probably wait with that kind of thread until I’ve a couple of posts under my belt and have a solid routine of playing the character, as that would likely go into deep and emotional character stuff. I love writing that kind of thing, with characters I am familiar with. I am just starting out as Ten, so give me a bit of time. I still haven’t come out with a specific plot, but the Merlin thing is incubating in my head. My knowledge of the classic era is still rather shaky, so plots don’t come as natural to me as in parts with which I am more familiar. But I still wanted to answer for now so you don’t think I’ve forgotten, even though I don't have anything substancial to offer yet. Without going into a specific plot yet, I absolutely love the relationship between the Master and the Doctor. It’s so unique in its extremes. And going with the alternate time line I’d be all game. It would allow us to be almost completely free in what happens as it wouldn’t affect the „real“ time line. Personally, what I would find interesting would be them having to be in some kind of shared predicament that forces them to work together - but not as dangerous that it leads to full and complete trust and cooperation. It would be a ballet and careful balancing act, could be delightful, though. (I am sure I could come up with a scenario for this.)

Tobias: No, it was this one. There wasn't really any plotting as it was an open thread, which is why I could heavily understand if you'd want to do something else. I would entirely be up for something that involved Rose Tyler if Afro is up for it. The Master: Awesome! That is definitely an upside I saw to doing something in an alternate timeline, since it would allow for us to have a bit more freedom with what we'd do and there isn't too much worry about trying to keep track of their individual timelines. I definitely like the idea of a shared predicament that forces them to work together. I'm kind of a sucker for exploring that grey area of the Doctor's and Master's relationship where the former friendship shows itself but never quite treads back into it because of their past history.

The Master Okay, I have a vague idea forming for throwing the Master and Ten together. I still need to figure out how to leave the companions out of it, but basically I think we could imagine a parallel time line where the Doctor managed to tamper with the paradox machine - but didn’t manage to finish before getting caught. He’ll warn the Master not to activate it, but it’s safe to assume that the warning is either not heeded, or heeded too late. We just have to get them to the TARDIS in time for the trouble to blow up in their faces and blows them into a pocket universe. A pocket universe is unstable enough that there’s a certain urgency for getting back. If our Jack is interested, he could join the fray, too. Rose TylerRose!!! *squeeze* Oh my, we have even more possibilities than usual in this universe of endless possibilities. For a warm-up how about a classic style adventure? Which setting would you prefer, past, present, or future/space?

Hmmm...since this sounds like the Doctor simply creating a (presumably temporary) paradox, perhaps we could play on how the Doctor is simply very alien? Especially since he is in a younger body? So, he could get there first and tries tampering, though, like you said, he does not finish before being caught. The others presumably catch up later, unless Jack Harkness wants to be involved?

Which setting would you prefer, past, present, or future/space? I love this idea!! I am happy with anything at all! Would you prefer to do a classic adventure, right in the middle of their time together? Then we could do a future one, maybe where they see each other again after being separated for so long? <333

The Master I’d phrase the techno-babble a bit differently, since he is basically throwing a wrench in what should have created and maintained a temporal paradox, but overall it works. I suppose we can give Jack another day or two to speak up if he’s interested (although he’ll be able to join in a bit later, too, as long as the big boom hasn’t happened yet). Then I’ll give it a go. Rose TylerSimple, happy, Rose and Doctor adventure. I’d put that smack in the middle of their time together. And explore the more edge-areas in more threads later. I definitely want to do some of the heavy emotional moments (and probably throw him back into Pete’s world at some point, if Metacrisis is willing). Okay, so adventure .. I have an idea for where they could go, and am working on the adventure bit. So far it’s not a full plot, but I should be able to wing it until we really need that information.

Rose Tyler Sure, will do! I’ll place it between „Age of Steel“ and „Idiot’s Lantern“. That’ll also give us the opportunity to go into the emotional stuff after „Age of Steel“ that the show didn’t have time to really address.
