You are 1) a great writer and 2) a connoisseur of doctorriver fanfiction. Can you please recommend me 10 doctorriver fics, preferably with 10, 11, or 12 as the Doctor? They can be of any length (one shot, multi shot, novel length, etc.).

You are too kind! I went through my bookmarks and there is no rhyme or reason to any of my favorite fics lol So, in no particular order, here we go.

A Life full of Spoilers this is one of the first dr/river fics I ever read. It made me want to start writing for the fandom. It's a oneshot of River's life.

Send in the Clowns a current WIP by @cdyssey its 10/River and I'm obsessed. Please read and comment so her muses return.

Principal Components another WIP, (possibly abandoned) but damn it's good. A little bit dark, some great explanations of timey wimey stuff. Excellent Tardis pov thoughts. 1969 goes wrong and 11 is trapped in a military base and River has to rescue him.

Heartbeats in Measure to a Familiar Tune completed multichapter library fix it with a twist.

My lost heart Time baby, but with an angsty twist. Trust me and try it.

Because without her, I am only revolutions of ruin dark, mature, angsty fic. I don't remember much about it, but I saved it, so it must be messed up in the best way.

Speaking of angst, @goddessdel, the queen of smutty dark fic. Light the fuse and burn. Anything of hers is amazing, but this series was my first love.

Long night in the blue house by @sonickedtrowel an entire fluffy series featuring mostly River/12 domestic bliss

Love, like fire, goes out without fuel by @regalpotato river/13 fic.

also by me and katie is And in the dark, i can hear your heartbeats which gets an honorable rec cuz it might be my favorite dark fic in existence.

She's a fairytale and Im already cursed by @thespacehairandthespaceidiot 11 pov while river is in the hospital after Berlin.

And of course, I recommend anything by @mygalfriday @savvyliterate @areyoumarriedriver @amillionmillionvoices

It's been years. I'm certain I'm forgetting some classics. Please add to this list and let's spread it around.

in 2025 let’s bring back being enthusiastic on ao3. leave a comment on every chapter. leave kudos and, if necessary, leave “double kudos” in the comments. tags and notes on bookmarks. the whole nine yards. let’s show fanfic authors how much we love them.

people who make gifsets are truly the backbone of fandom

You should get an AO3 account

With the rise of AI and the well known epidemic of AI companies scraping Ao3 for training data most authors on Ao3 have locked down their fics to logged in users only. This is unfortunate for authors and readers. As an author I've noticed a steep drop in readership on fics restricted to logged in users and when recommending fics to my friends I've noticed that the folks without an account can't find the fics. The logged in users only toggle, not only keeps people without an account from reading a fic, but also from seeing its listing at all. More than 50% of fics I come across have this setting turned on. So, you should get an AO3 account. I know this seems daunting and unfair because it's an invite only system but, you can invite yourself through the homepage if you don't already have one, and in the past few years I've never heard of someone who requested an invitation through this method, not getting one. And for those of you who are hesitant because you don't write, that's okay. It's not weird at all to click on a commenter username and find that they have 0 works and 10,000 bookmarks. It might take a week for the invitation to actually show up, but I can almost guarantee you will get one, just keep an eye on your email. It's free to join and donations are optional. You'll have more to read if you have an account and maybe give your favorite author the chance to protect their work from AI without a loss of readership and feedback.

emails suck. unless they are from ao3, then they are the best thing to ever happen to me

Hellooo, I just wanted to tell you that I love your fanfics so much that I had one of them (And the rest is rust and stardust) printed and made as an actual book so I can read it in my bed and have it in my bookcase, I just received it and I'm so excited 😭 and I hope you're okay with it

Thank you so much for blessing the fandom with your talent 🙏

Oh my gosh, anon! That is amazing!! Thank you so much for telling me! I’m so honored that you liked something I wrote enough to print it. Just… wow.

This genuinely made my day. Thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy it.

[xhellnhighheelsx]

Will you write another DW 11/River fic? I love your writing!

Hi anon! I would love to write more fic. I’m a little short on time these days, but my prompt box is always open! Feel free to send prompts anytime. Sometimes inspiration takes me and I can knock out a quick one shot.

Seriously, thank you so much for the love. It’s so encouraging.

[xhellnhighheelsx]

being an adult in a fandom is so weird because by day i’m a person and by night i’m in a cult

i think there should be an episode of doctor who where the doctor returns to a time when police boxes were common and then forgets where he fucking parked

[xhellnhighheelsx]

[xhellnhighheelsx]

Guess who! This is fun sketch I started the other day. It’s nowhere near finished but I’m really excited!

tardis console rooms ranked by how good i think they'd be to have sex in

list NON exhaustive. im sure im gonna miss a console room variation. let's go.

worst to best:

The Coral Console room: i feel like im gonna ruffle some feathers w this one but honestly. it sucks. nowhere good to fuck in this console room. you've got the horrible little seats. the floor is like a grill?? awful. plus im gonna level with you, this one looks Grimy. i feel like a lot of the surfaces have space oil on them. yucky. no disrespect to it as a console room but i would not have sex in here.

The Classique: absolutely spartan. lighting white and overbearing. nowhere to fuck in here except on the console which is one of those scenarios i think sounds fun in theory but in practice would be a terrible idea, OR the floor which looks very hard. perhaps marginally more practical than the coral bcos it at least looks clean but probably the least sexy.

The roundel console room: hmm on the one hand, this one has mood lighting and the jukebox. however i think being naked in here would feel awfully exposed and also it's just all floors and ramps and railings. hate to say it bcos i love this one.

The wooden console room: this one definitely has a more pleasant atmosphere than the classique. it also has actual furniture in it which is a plus & my reason for rating it higher than any of the above. however: all hard surfaces.

The crystal console room: i don't think this one has anywhere good to fuck, however, gotta rank it relatively high on pure atmosphere.

The glass floor console room: this one has a LOT going on aesthetically. the glass floor looks extremely uncomfortable but like from a visual point of view it has potential. there's also some legitimately comfy looking furniture in there. however i think the reality is there's nowhere comfortable to fuck in here.

The silver console room: very atmospheric. is there furniture in here?? i don't remember what the furniture situation is but it's full of bookcases which appeals to me. i feel like it must have somewhere to sit & read or it wouldn't have all those books.

The sixties: ok bear with me on this high entry. the key difference between the classique and the sixties is that the sixties console room has that delightful combo of spaceship aesthetic & victorian furniture which they just kind of forgot about as the show went along. the lact of consistency in what furniture items appear in the console room creates the impression that it just kinda spawns whatever furniture is needed. this includes on occasion!! a recliner chair/couch that the Doctor naps on. i can't find a good picture of it but like yeah you could have sex on that thing. also the atmosphere is a lot less sterile than the classique.

The Victorian Parlour console room: i mean this goes without saying. there's like actually comfortable furniture and rugs on the floor and things. AND a really great atmosphere!! look at that lighting. 10/10. legitimately good love nest.

sad reality of the fanfic-to-published work economy is that the weirdest people are willing to do it. that's why there's now hundreds of shitty no plot cishet hate-to-love enemies-to-lovers books that are ex reylo fanfic. and it's not even good. that's because the people who wrote book-quality steve/bucky and kirk/spock fic are too normal to think to themselves "i should get this porn published". they're too busy working in local government offices
