Recs?

I was looking at [livejournal.com profile] the_spdn and was noticing something. I want to say this without disparaging fluff/smut/angst-type fics since I don't think there should be less of those kinds of fics (at all), but there aren't enough humor fics in this fandom, dammit! Not necessarily crack fics (although crack can be very very good), but just stuff that makes you laugh. Fluff fics can be funny, but a humor fic is sort of a different animal. (Different genres can overlap, but I'm looking for something that at its core is meant to be humorous.)

Maybe part of the trouble is that the show itself hasn't been very ha-ha for a while, but it's Doctor Who! There should be more funny! :D












































Does anyone have any recs for humor fics? My preference is always Doctor/Rose, but I'd be willing to trade off the relationship aspect for some good humor. Also, I'd be up for reading some funny fics with Martha or Donna too.

I think you might be familiar with [livejournal.com profile] rosa_acicularis's fics, no? 'Cuz I find many of them hilarious. An example.

Oh yes! :)

I had to look at the second pic a second thinking "Why is that funny?"

Then I remembered the passed-out Adam between them. :P

Erm, my faves definitely tend more towards outright crack. Let's see if I can think of some that walk the line.

A Gallifreyan at Blandings is a delightful Wodehouse crossover.

Orange-crushed's series with Ten, Rose and the beautifully insane Master traveling together is mostly crack.

Dave7 used to write some delightful fun and insightful stories at teadis before he went and got a job and a life and stuff.

Five Times the Sonic Screwdriver Proved Worse Than Useless

*pets you*

I don't know if you've ever read [Bad username or site: _thirty2flavors / @ livejournal.com]'s stuff, but she has done a lot of fluffy/humour stuff that I think you might like. (Shh. Recing your friends is totally Doctor-approved!)

Suggestive Selling

The Dangers of Accessorizing

...Have More Fun

Romantic (With A Lower Case 'R')

If It's Not Broken - this is a "five things that never happened" fic as a parody/satire of Journey's End fics, so it's a bit different from the others, but still very funny.

Oooh, thanks!

Aaaah, hilarious photos. ^_^ My favourite was from the Idiot's Lantern where they greet in unison!

That scene still can put a smile on my face. :D

Totally. I've got an icon of it somewhere... ^_^

[identity profile] rosie-not-rose.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree with this! :P

Also omg, I don't know if this'll be your type of humour or not, but the person that made my (current) icon, also writes what I consider to be hilarious fics, mostly with Doctor/Rose.

Thanks for the rec!

I wrote this Doctor and Donna friendship short, that I believe is mildly humorous: http://neko-chan42.livejournal.com/60379.html

I also wrote this Doctor/Rose sex crack: http://neko-chan42.livejournal.com/38353.html

I wish fandom had more funny fic too! I feel like this is a great untapped resource in fandom, with Ten and Donna. Fanddooom, stop writing fic about them doing each other and write more fic where they banter awesomely! *whines*

YES! It's something I suddenly find I'm missing in DW fandom.
