A Sunday Doctor Who Poll

[seren_ccd]

I'm doing some plotting and writing today (does it count if the writing is in a notebook and not on a computer?) and I've run into a question.

I'm writing the next bit in the Eleven/Amy series and it's going all wibbly-wobbly, timey-whimey on me. And my question is this:

How much influence do you think the TARDIS has over where they end up? My mind is drawing a bit of a blank, but I'm sure she's deposited the Doctor in places where he needed to do something, even if he doesn't know he needed to do something.

So, because I like polls:

Writing counts no matter where or how you do it; I'm using the notebook you gave me for Christmas as a planning book for my Big Bang this year, and I'm already scribbling scenes in it. By the way, this will very probably be the porniest thing I'll ever write - are you ok betaing a fic that involved pegging?

Ahem.

In answer to your question, it's canon that the Doctor has a telepathic link to the TARDIS, so it could be that in dumping them somewhere unusual, it's actually responding to the Doctor's unspoken needs/desires. That could be a surprise to him, or he could be aware of it. During Who's early years the TARDIS often materialied in unexpected places - for example, the Doctor thought he was leaving Sarah Jane in London but he actually left her in Scotland, etc.

Oh, dude. BRING IT! :D I can't wait to see this thing! Eee!

Hmm. That makes sense. It's probably then rather possible that the Doctor knew about something critical happening in a culture's history, but hadn't made the connection that it was he who made it happen, until he did. I think I can work with that...
