Imagine: you are the companion.* Maybe you have strange dreams of stone angels... or you get kidnapped by a giant cockapoo with an axe... maybe you travel planets, or countries, or times, or end up facing the flux itself... maybe the Doctor survives, or maybe you can't save her. It's all down to you: your choices.
Did you watch War of the Sontarans and come out of it with a hyperfixation on the Crimean War?
Did you watch Survivors of the Flux and come out of it with a hyperfixation on the early 1900's?
Do you love Classic Who and want to throw in easter eggs and utilize your obscure knowledge in writing?
Do you like working on collaborative projects inspired by Doctor Who?
Maybe write a bit of fanfic to expand upon or alter canon to keep things interesting?
I've written over 60,000 words (and a bit of code and such) for a choose your own story inspired by 13's series 13 (yes, that makes about as much sense as the show.) There are tons of opportunities for folks to dig in and write page(s). You could write some near the beginning on Halloween, or on Planet Time (want to go in the Doctor's timestream?), maybe puzzle your way through Kaarvanista's ship, or navigate various obstacles in the 1900's. I did a deep dive in the 1960's more than once since the series came out and wrote a bunch of that section (but there's still more to write, as ever) and I'm sure there's much more to the Crimean War (which the US education system didn't even mention).
So... fancy a trip in the box?

*when I say 'companion' I mean... probably, possibly, maybe, if you play your cards right (or wrong), definitely one or the other...

What the Flux?! is a choose your own story being created sheregenerated13 (+ fam?) and is not related to BBC's Doctor Who in any official capacity. They own all the rights etc etc. It's basically fanfic but you have a say in what happens <3 <3
"Married," Yaz says, a pit forming in her stomach. "You want us to pretend to be married."
"Nothing we haven't done before!" The Doctor says, practically beaming.
That was before. Before I knew I loved you. Before I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you.
The Doctor's expression sours. Yaz wants to go back,back to when it was just her and the Doctor against the universe, back when they weren't bleeding from the dual wounds they've given each other.
Can we just live in the present? I don't want this, Yaz wanted to say. You know I don't want this and you don't want this either so why are you—
Of what we have, while we still have it?
"Married," Yaz says again. "On the planet of Sakhra to infiltrate the Goddess' castle."
She's so not going to be bloody fine.
1. The court holds Google responsible for statements made by its AI, considering them Google's statements (search engines have limited liability for results in their engine as they're the words of other sites/companies/people), meaning when their AI lies/hallucinates they're liable for the defamation/harm resulting from those statements.
2. Google's defense that customers are generally aware of the lack of reliability and are responsible for fact checking was dismissed. As the court pointed out, that would "significantly diminish" AI Search's stated purpose and it can't be distinguished from Google's business practices/statements as a search tool.
3. Studies have found about 91% of Google's everyday AI responses are accurate, leaving millions of searches per HOUR with potential liability for falsehoods. 56% of correct responses weren't supported by the sources the AI listed. Both of which mean Google is now liable for a LOT more AI "errors."
4. Google was held liable for 80% of court costs in this case and this precedent is expected to reverberate around the world. This is a massive shift from the 3rd-party search provider role Google has previously played and it comes right as they've tied ALL searches to their AI search.
