"I think it actually surprised everyone. I did a one-off "The Runaway Bride" and I remember I wasn't able to do the what's called the read-through, which happens a few weeks before you start filming, and it's where all the actors, the writer, the producer, everyone just sort of sits around a table and reads the episode. And one of the things that it's good for is for actors who have not worked together to just sort of see how you bounce off each other and stuff like that. Well, I wasn't available for it, so we didn't even know how we were gonna gel together. And it happened very quickly."

[mindibindi]

Everyone is assuming Rose Noble named herself that because the Ten part of her, inherited by the metacrisis, loved Rose so damn much. And yeah, that might be true or part of it, but let's not forget how significant Rose was to Donna. Because ROSE was the one following Donna from day dot of her adventures with the Doctor. ROSE was the one who sought Donna out in an alternative reality in which Donna had forgotten the Doctor (for the second time, if you count her experience being saved by the Library). ROSE was the one in that reality to tell her she was brilliant and important and belonged with the Doctor, NEEDED to be with The Doctor, AND he needed HER. And ultimately, it was Rose who helped her to get back to him. Rose told her she was brave and capable and could find a way. So while it's possible that Rose Noble named herself after Rose Tyler because Ten loved her so much, it's equally possible that the metacrisis part of Donna that Rose Noble inherited was trying to remind herself/her mother of the weird blonde woman who stalked her across dimensions, insisted that she remember (The Doctor, their adventures together and HER own importance) and returned Donna to her rightful place at the side of The Doctor. The suppressed memory of Rose Tyler inherited by Rose Noble is another indication that Donna Noble wanted to remember, (re)remind herself and return to the Doctor again.

Sometimes I think there's way too much coincidence around you, Donna.

DOCTOR WHO - 4.11 Turn Left

[thebootstrap-paradox]

Imagine going back and telling those of us watching him wipe her memory in series 4 it would end like this.

[mindibindi]

[deeneedsaname]

“I really do remember though. Every second with you. I’m so glad you’re back, cause it killed me, Donna. It killed me, it killed me, it killed me.”

The recognition of the fact that losing Donna was such a last straw for the tenth doctor though. He lost her, and Donna had been so perfect for him, and just…this line and the delivery is exactly about that.

[nat-20s]

Perhaps my all time favorite part of Ten and Donna's dynamic is whenever Donna's like 'hey I'm gonna head out" and Ten is like "I understand. I can't lie and say that I'm ready for you to leave but I would never try to trap you here. I love you and thank you and before you go I want you to know that you've changed me on a fundamental level your presence has rewritten my DNA for the better I'll remember you and sing your praises to the stars with my dying breath" and Donna's like "I'm going on a milk run. Calm the fuck down."

fascinating that when you tell people "you have to learn the rules to break them" when talking about drawing/painting etc everyone nods and agrees but the second you say "you have to read books if you want to write better" there's a horde of contrarians begging to be the wrongest people ever all of a sudden

[alienthegreenalien]

if one more person in the notes of this post says "omg op has clearly never talked to a beginner artist!!" as if im not a literal professional artist and was making a broad point........ this time im really gonna do it

[rjalker]

and reading only fanfiction does not count as reading books to get better at writing. Fanfiction, where everyone reading it already knows who the characters are and what their relationships are and what the setting is and all that crap, is not the same thing as reading an original self-contained story.

If you only read fanfiction, you will not be able to write original stories well.

Reading books does not have to be expensive. It can be completely free. Project Gutenberg exists. So does the Internet Archive's lending library.

Fanfiction works in ways that original fiction doesn't. You can't write original fiction like it's fanfiction if you want your story to actually be well written and interesting.

[fixyourwritinghabits]

I think it's important to point out why fanfiction is different - so much context and interest hooks depend on you already being interested in the source. You are familiar with these characters and therefore don't need to have the basics built into the story. With original work, you need all that underlying character development to be in the story you're writing to make us want to read it. You could 'cheat' and give us a modern Sherlock Holmes - but we still need your version explored in narrative to actually care about it. Dr. House is more than just Sherlock Holmes in a hospital, he has his own issues and foils and quirks. The Holmes from the TV show Sherlock and Elementary are vastly different takes on the same character. You need to read original fiction in order to learn how to do that in your own original fiction. Fanfic is great, but it intentional has gaps that make it a different form.

[elumish]

Fanfiction also is generally structurally different.

If you want to write a novel, you are kept to a pretty strict word range--generally 70-120k words, though that varies a bit up or down depending on the genre. Some genres have fairly strict structural and plot expectations, as well.

A romance novel is a specific thing. A mystery novel is a specific thing. Being able to write a shippy fanfic, even one of the correct length to count as a romance novel, does not necessarily mean that you know how to write a romance novel--because there are different expectations between them.

Fanfiction is often in conversation with other fanfiction, and published fiction is often to varying degrees in conversation with other published fiction--but despite what a lot of people seem to think, published fiction is often not actually in conversation with fanfiction, even if fanfiction is in conversation with published fiction.

One thing that you tend to see with people writing original fiction for publication who don't really read much published fiction in that genre is that they will sometimes approach it with the attitude that they are writing something that nobody has ever thought of before. It is a new, different, groundbreaking approach, with new, different, groundbreaking ideas that nobody else has done and nothing can compare to--

And that simply is not usually the case. Finding comps can be hard, it's one of the worst parts about querying, etc., etc., but in many genres, you are not inventing something totally new. You are not the first person to think, what if this romance novel doesn't need to have a happy ending (spoiler alert: it's not a romance novel). You are not the first person to write queer polyamorous urban fantasy. You are not the first person to write a book with queer characters or disabled characters or non-white characters or non-Christian characters. Your groundbreaking new idea for a sci fi thing that you repurposed from a fanfic, that just feels dated and derivative, because it is, and anyone who knows the genre would know that.

That arrogance and that dismissal of existing publishing history and norms shows in people's writing.

Anyway, read books. They're actually pretty great.

[balalaijka]

^this!!!!

(also, while the story “authors who started out in fanfiction” has pretty bad rep due to fifty shades of gray and more recently that one harry style one that i can’t recall the name of right now, something to note is that you can write both good fanfiction and good original fiction—writers like tamsyn muir and naomi novik are proof of that, it just requires a different set of muscles, so to speak. but yes, if you want to write good original fiction, you absolutely should read published original works.)

(and yes, if you dig deeper into your chosen genre, there are absolutely these wild conversations happening about gender and power and genre conventions. want a timeloop story about the cyclical effects of violence? read the six deaths of the saint. want a first contact-ish story with non-heteronormative aliens? read the left hand of darkness. there is truly so much out there to enjoy discovering.)
