| 7 | ''Doctor Who'' has a long history of fan-fiction in non-text formats, as well as a long and proud history of promoting fans into ShowRunner status. The ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoAudioVisuals'' cassette tapes, for example, were circulated from 1985-91 by Creator/NicholasBriggs and other future {{Promoted Fanboy}}s - who now run the official AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho and have adapted many of the stories into canon. |

| 22 | ''[[http://comics.shipsinker.com/archive.php?arc=10doctors The 10 Doctors]]'' by Rich Morris |
| 23 | * Has its own [[Webcomic/The10Doctors Trope Page.]] |
| 24 | * [[http://comics.shipsinker.com/downloads.php Alternate Link]] to download the comics. |
| 25 | * Recommended by @/{{Zxynoxia}}, cg12345, @/UncloudedTJ, @/DigiFlame, @/{{Revelo}}, @/{{Nightsky}}, @/{{Moloch}}, @/{{Sonikkuruzu}}, @/{{LongLiveHumour}} |
| 26 | * ''Synopsis'': A webcomic that is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. Ten Doctors, many companions, and just about every enemy from the TV series that wasn't dead at the end of their arc. |
| 27 | * ''Comments'': A fun read, although a little slow at times. |
| 28 | ** Seconded by cg12345. Very much. |
| 29 | ** @/UncloudedTJ: Very well done but if you want to read through it faster try the second link as it's faster to download them and read rather than use the archive. |
| 30 | ** Also recommended by @/DigiFlame. Continuity Porn in its most concentrated form. |
| 31 | ** @/{{Revelo}}: I also recommend this, really well written, fantastic art and a TARDIS full of lore and continuity porn with some awesome and heartwarming parts thrown in too. |
| 32 | ** @/{{Scionofgrace}}: Recommended wholeheartedly! So many, many awesome moments. |
| 33 | ** @/{{YYZ}}: Also to be recommended is one of Morris' subsequent stories, which features the Third Doctor in Elizabethan England. |
| 34 | ** I don't have a troper page yet, so I'll just sign using my real initials for now (and I'll change it once I make one), but I, ZT, agree, and would like to say that the other Doctor Who stories Rich has done, despite being crossovers with series I'm unfamiliar with, are awesome as well. Also, I feel that "The Ten Doctors" is possibly the greatest Doctor Who story ever. |
| 35 | ** Teorwyn: This is the story that introduced me to the Whoniverse. Even though I didn't have any idea what was going on when I started, the story, convoluted as it was, let me pick things up as I went along and left me wanting more. HIGHLY recommended. |
| 36 | ** [=Finister2=]: So good you'd think it was in canon. |
| 37 | ** [=MrThorfan64=]: One of my favourite stories in any medium. Better then most Doctor Who stories. |
| 38 | ** darksecret: For New Who fans, this is a great introduction to the Classic Doctors. Definitely worth a read. |

| 42 | * ''Synopsis'': An author who specializes in short Doctor Who fics following Eleven and company, with occasional multi-chapter fics, and/or fics following other Doctors. |
| 43 | * ''Comments'': When I say short, I mean '''short'''. One of his fics, titled [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10810356/1/ Prey]], is exactly ''49'' words long. '''25 of those are his [[OnceAnEpisode Once A Fanfic]] thanks yous at the end.''' And yet even at just 24 words for the story proper, it's a brilliant read. |

| 52 | ** @/SilentHunter has only listened to "A Time Lord in Prince Henry's Court", a humorous tale set in 16th-century France, but it's a highly recommended tale of forbidden love, apples and Leonardo da Vinci. |

| 56 | * ''Synopsis'': Her Doctor Who Fanfics, which range from short drabbles to multi-chapter fics, focus mostly on the Second Doctor and Jamie. The full timeline of her works can be found [[http://rose-of-pollux.tumblr.com/post/68715867346/doctor-who-fic-masterlist here]] on Tumblr. |
| 57 | * ''Comments'': I cannot recommend her writing enough. Her characterization is flawless, not just for the Second Doctor and Jamie, but for every canon character they come into with. In spite of her rather timey-wimey writing, which could potentially cause a snarl in the timeline, is excellently handled. Her plots are very engaging, and often quite funny. Best of all, however, is that fact that pretty much every chapter involves some heartwarming moment or other, often courtesy of Jamie. |

| 63 | |
| 64 | [[http://www.thedoctorwhoproject.com/ The Doctor Who Project]] by Bob Furnell and others |
| 65 | * Recommended by [=Clendy82=] |
| 66 | * ''Synopsis'': Perhaps the largest and longest-running ''Doctor Who'' fan fiction series in existence. Running continuously since 1999, the Doctor Who Project has had twelve seasons and counting of high-quality prose, ranging from short stories all the way to epic length novels. The first two stories star the Seventh Doctor before he regenerates and the series continues with an original "Eighth" Doctor onwards. For fans of older Doctors, there is a "Brief Encounters" section featuring stories starring the television Doctors with elements of the main [=TDWP=] series. Today the series stars the [=TDWP=] Tenth Doctor and continues to provide the very best in new Doctor Who stories with an old school feel. |
| 67 | * ''Comments'': With a series of such breadth and variety as the Doctor Who Project, there are going to be a lot of hits and misses as far as individual readers' preferences are concerned. Stories like "Nine Days" and "Journey's End" in the [=TDWP=] Ninth Doctor's era are held up as particular common favorites, though. To help deal with the fact that a dozen seasons' worth of near novel-length stories can lead to a bit of ArchivePanic, the series editors have released a comprehensive [[http://www.thedoctorwhoproject.com/pages/specials/spec_guides.php series bible]] giving details on every published story, including trivia and plot synopses. |

| 77 | * ''Comments'': Her individual fics have been recommended often enough on this page already, but everything by Lyricwritesprose is worth reading.

And the HighSchoolAU, Primary/Elementary School AU, and ''Retirement Home'' AU. |
| 90 | * ''Comments'': Particularly recommended is B.K. Willis's ''To Die For'' series in which, free from the burden of her canonical personality, Nyssa is reimagined as an inventive psychopath with a grudge on Adric (who keeps coming BackFromTheDead). It's ''much'' better than that makes it sound. |

| 118 | * ''Status'': Complete |
| 119 | * ''Synopsis'': Rationally speaking, you know you’re not dead. Also, there aren’t eight other people in here, and you aren’t trapped in Jean-Paul Sartre’s vision of Hell. A JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind during the early hours of his regeneration into the 10th Doctor, ''After Life'' is told from the perspective of the 9th Doctor. that looks into how the 9th Doctor blames himself and the 8th Doctor for the Time War, his previous eight selves' light treatment of the Daleks, and how the 9th Doctor tries to learn to forgive himself and the Eighth Doctor for destroying Gallifrey. |
| 120 | * ''Comments'': An awesome read. Written in Second Person POV... and it ''works''. |
| 121 | ** @/DigiFlame: Each chapter presents something unique. |

| 126 | * ''Synopsis'': [=UFOs=]! Men in Black! Psychedelic Hippies! Tentacle-Beasts from Dimension X! New Mexico, 1968: Evil lurks beneath the Diablo Mesa as the Doctor and Romana take on the might of the Military-Industrial Complex; the Military-Industrial Complex probably ought to be very scared. |
| 127 | * ''Comments'': An excellent adventure that feels like you're watching it on television instead of reading it. JJPOR combines Douglas Adams-esque narrative wit with sharp dialogue and a host of intriguing and amusing side characters, including a woman who develops quite the adorable crush on Romana. Romana in particular shines in this piece, and plays an active role, equal to the Doctor's. ''Alien Abduction'' reminds this troper of the best of the Doctor Who novel writers. This is truly professional quality writing and the incorrigible Fourth Doctor at his best. |
| 128 | ** Seconded by Veanne, who thinks this fic is hilarious. You'll laugh your pancreas out. |

| 134 | * ''Comments'': An excellent novelization of the episode ''Dalek'', as seen through the eyes of the titular OmnicidalManiac WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds. [[TearJerker It WILL pull your heartstrings.]] |
| 135 | ** I think this story is brilliant! Even though it's told through the first person POV of a Dalek, which may seem strange, the way the author handled the emotions, the perspective and the actual interpretation of the episode and the Dalek's "feelings" was superb! Definitely check it out if you're a fan of the Daleks. |

| 182 | * ''Comments'': For most of season three this is a pretty rudimentary AU fic with Rose largely just cut-and-pasted into the Doctor's place. However, when the Master shows up the story suddenly clicks into high gear as we get a great and truly different take on the events of those episodes. It largely stays that way from then on. |
| 183 | ** Quite contrived, a lot is unexplained, and the style feels a bit silly and forced. |

It is well worth the five minutes it will take you to read, and it is so far one of the only fics I've seen that can say so much in so few words. It is poetic, painful, saddening, pity-inspiring, and most of all, accurate. |

| 348 | * ''Status'': Dormant |
| 349 | * ''Synopsis'': A set of connected one-shots, celebratory of the 2nd Doctor (though they do not exclusively feature him). "He was erased from his own memories, and what little he does remember is confusing and contrary. And yet he shaped them all into the versions of himself that survive to this day. A closer look at The Second Doctor, and how very vital he was and will be to them all...even if they can't remember him." |
| 350 | * ''Comments'': The fic is very obviously celebratory of the 2nd Doctor, and finds very interesting ways of showing how he left his mark on all his future incarnations without stretching canon too much. The reason I absolutely adore this fic, though, is what it does to canon without technically breaching it; before reading this, I completely dismissed a lot of ideas in the Expanded Whoniverse, such the Looms and the history of Gallifrey, Rassilon, Omega, and particularly the Other. This fic looked at it all in a completely new way and I lapped it up! This author properly paces backstory and foreshadowing, enough to whet the reader's appetite, and does an excellent job of giving characters introspective/tender moments without going OOC. |

| 368 | * ''Status'': Dead; last updated January 2018 |
| 369 | * ''Author's Synopsis'': A more realistic story of a whovian getting stuck in the "Doctor Who" universe. This isn't the typical "Yay, I met the Doctor" story. If you suddenly found out the Doctor was real, wouldn't you be a little scared? That would mean all the monsters were real too! WARNING: Trying the first quick chapter, may result in who-fic addiction. (Not responsible for binge reading) :) |
| 370 | * ''Comments'': This fic truly is a binge read. I'm absolutely in love with it! The protagonist, Lilly, is a very human and realistic character. She is an 18-year-old college student who absolutely loves Doctor Who, especially number 9, but when she mysteriously finds herself in the whoverse her life becomes something of a nightmare. With The Doctor not believing she's from a universe where his life is a children's show, being diagnosed as "time sensitive", and caught in a 5 billion year paradox Lilly needs to learn how to navigate through life with The Doctor without accidentally destroying the multi-verse. |
| 371 | ** Seconded strongly by this troper. [=LovelyAmberLight=] writes a very good Nine, brooding, dark, and occasionally goofy, with definite fatherly tendencies towards Lilly. Jackie Tyler, of all characters, is given a wonderful introduction and the character development she always deserved. Also, the main character, Lilly, is the best OC I've ever seen, in any fic. She is very real, terrified by the new universe she's in, but still incredibly brave. The plot is complex, twisting, and full of paradoxes - be sure to pay attention! All in all, an excellent fic. |
| 372 | *** Thirded by this troper, have followed her since her very first chapter. And as someone who knows the author, on ff.net, she also has various crossover fics within Doctor Who with other realistic fic authors involving OC Companions. A notable one involving Lilly and emptyvoices' Sara Thomas, called Lost in Reality, an alternate timeline/sequel. |

It's a brutal, mind-bending, cosmic-scale take on the Time War, complete with some of the most terrifying uses of the timey-wimey ball anyone's ever come up with--all in less than ten thousand words. Teyke's Doctor is alive on the page, walking that same line between "almost human" and "really, really ''not''" that he does on the show. Also, the ending. You will never forget the ending. |

| 477 | * ''Comments'': I can't say enough good about this fic. It's of medium length, and will probably take only about an hour to get through, but it'll be an hour well spent! Four and Sarah Jane are almost perfectly in-character, the pacing is perfect, the OCs are amusing and believable, and the ending of each chapter is a mild cliffhanger. In other words, this is an episode from the show that was never made. Not to mention the fact that the friendship moments between Four and Sarah are adorable. |

This fic simplifies the Master's plan (no Daleks) and revises and expands the GrandTheftMe aspects. In particular, while watching the episode, I found myself wishing that they had [[spoiler:done a straightforward FreakyFridayFlip of the Doctor and the Master]]...and was delighted to find such a well-written fic in which the author did exactly that.

All of them are ''Doctor Who''/''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' crossovers, with the second one also crossing over with ''Series/{{Angel}}'' (A Hole In The World, to be exact). There is some romance in them ([[spoiler:10/Faith, Spike/Buffy]]) but that is not the main focus of the stories. |
| 653 | * ''Comments'': These two fics are amazingly well written, all of the dialog is in character and it, in my opinion, meshes the Whoniverse and the Buffyverse quite well. The third one is currently in progress, though, and the writer's music selections in the second one leave something to be desired. |

Ianto's memory is present throughout and unlike in a lot Torchwood/Who fics, Jack's relationship with Ianto is not brushed away as only being something on the side for fun in order to make way for a new paring.

To keep his new friends from certain doom, the Doctor must discover the truth about a strange notebook from the 1940s and solve the mystery of the man called Michael Milligram ... |
| 680 | * ''Comments'': Although this crosses over with a concept album by ''My Chemical Romance'', it is by no means an [[RealPersonFic RPF]]! The Eleventh Doctor shares the starring role here with the fiery-haired rebel leader, Party Poison; the sequel adds Clara (and Cybermen). Longfic that's right up there with Moffat's best episodes where timey-whimeyness and unexpected turns are concerned. The author has a great grasp on the Doctor's personality as well as on the storytelling of Doctor Who in general. She's also seriously good at invoking the desolate post-apocalyptic world of the Killjoys and creates enjoyable characters in a story filled with action and awesome that can also be, at times, surprisingly heartwarming. Some knowledge of the Killjoys universe is required - though I believe the first story at least can be read even without that - as well as familiarity with the latest series of Doctor Who. |

Adopting the name of the Doctor, the new Time Lord travels through the six dimensions of space-time in his TARDIS, exploring many universes and trying to discover what caused his transformation... forgetting that there is Power in a Name. |
| 762 | * ''Comments'': A four-part series that may have a GaryStu self-insert but is well written, well executed, and just...well, everything. It uses ''Who'' as a base and then blends in other series perfectly: ''Star Wars'' (Old Republic era), ''Star Trek'', ''The Dresden Files'', ''Legend of Korra'', ''VideoGame/MechWarrior'', ''Mass Effect'', and plenty of others as well. The main character (known as the SI Doctor by WOG) is both likable and relatable. This series needs more attention than it is currently getting. See for yourself. |
| 763 | ** By far one of the best fanfictions I have ever read. And I don't believe that it is that much of a Gary Stu (at least not more than the real Doctor himself). While a SelfInsertFic, the story is very well thought out and some has ideas that I have never seen in a FanFic before. It has absolutely hilarious moments (like the reactions of people who knew ''Doctor Who'' as a TV show before, and don't let me start with the Power Rangers) and very heart-wrenchingly sad scenes. And often it really feels like ''Doctor Who''. I still have no idea why it is so unknown, so go and give it a read! |

It's a fun and exciting story with humor and touching and emotional moments. Some subtle hints of romance and not so subtle hints of romance.The story does well to connect the worlds without feeling forced and makes the characters feel like their connections are natural and fit with the established canon. It also puts some characters like Excalibur in new light. It actually makes you feel sympathy with either an annoying character or just a pure comic relief character.

All of the Eva characters get moments to shine, and the Sherlock/Watson like dynamic of the Doctor and Shinji is a joy.

| 824 | * ''Synopsis'': ''Doctor Who'' / ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' crossover (WAIT! SIT DOWN, I'm going somewhere with this). Equestria experiences a series of strange events, culminating with an eccentric brown stallion literally falling out of the sky in a smoldering blue box. In her bid to get answers, Twilight embroils herself and her friends in an ancient war between two powerful races, one that may well destroy the multiverse with the aid of a [[EldritchAbomination Horror from Beyond]]. |
| 825 | ** The two races are NOT the Time Lords and the Daleks, you've likely never heard of one of these races, even you Whovians out there. Yes, that was a challenge. |
| 826 | ** While the identity of the races isn't a secret ([[spoiler:the Hervoken are named in the first sentence, a clear description of Carrionites follows later in the chapter]]), not only is it a treat for those who've [[spoiler:seen [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E2TheShakespeareCode "The Shakespeare Code"]] and read the [[Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse New Series Adventure]] ''[[http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Forever_Autumn Forever Autumn]]'']], but also an amazing [[spoiler:re-imagining of the [[Franchise/MyLittlePony MLP movie villains Hydia, Draggle, and Reeka]] as Carrionites]]. |
| 827 | * ''Comments'': A more ambitious read than others as it is [[WordOfGod written as a Doctor Who episode first and a crossover second]]. Very solid writing and spot-on characterizations can be found in this cool fic. If you give it a chance and get past the [[CrackFic head-scratching]] nature of the premise, this fic becomes a tightly written joy to read. The Doctor's characterization as "Ten but a pony" creates some very interesting (read: hi-freaking-larious) interactions with the ''MLP'' main cast and also makes for some truly awesome moments; his lines are best read in a David Tennant voice. The characterization of the ponies is spot on, beyond my ability to convey in words actually, so it is better read than told. GO. READ. |
| 828 | ** Seconded here, the quality of the writing and characterisation speaks for itself, but it also gets points for the way it makes things DarkerAndEdgier while more optimistic and cheerful at the same time. The way it expands on the ''Friendship is Magic'' universe and the sheer depth it goes into things is amazing. |

| 863 | * ''Synopsis'': As described by the author: There is a three year gap, ages 19-22, in the records of one James Tiberius Kirk, recently Captain of the USS Enterprise - an absence so absolute that it almost seems that he was not even on the planet Earth during that time, yet there also exists no record of a passage off world. When pressed, Jim will say only that he was travelling during that time, with only a set of wheels and the stars in his rear-view mirror. This, as it turns out, is not entirely the truth. It is also not technically a lie. Or, conversely, the Doctor has a fondness for them, these pink and yellow humans, these heroes. Rose Tyler, Defender of the Universe; River Song, The Impossible Astronaut; James Tiberius Kirk, Captain of the Enterprise. These legends, who belong first to history are far too tempting to resist, especially for the Doctor, who is perhaps the most dedicated historian there ever was.Or, the one where the Doctor accidentally crashes in Jim Kirk’s backyard and then takes him to see the stars, and you know, in general shake up the universe. Needless to say, it’s a ride. Mostly gen, pre Kirk/Spock, background River/The Doctor, Sarek/Amanda. |

| 917 | * ''Pairing'': Doctor/Rose |
| 918 | * ''Synopsis'': All it took to change the universe was one little alteration to the time line of Rose Tyler when she was eleven years old. While an alien hunts her and preys on children, Rose meets a remarkable man called the Doctor. Suddenly her childhood is full of adventure, aliens and lots of running that will change the course of her life. First in the Guardians of the Universe series. |
| 919 | * ''Comments'': This is the first in a series called 'The Guardians of the Universe', and it's a very intricate and detailed universe that uses material from Old Who, New Who, SJA, and basically everything within the Whoniverse. Like the show itself, it has season-arcs, spanning every story, but also deals with an alien-of-the-week type of situation. I loved it the moment I started reading, but part 3 (The Companion Connection) is by far the best one so far. It centers around Rose, but it also features every single one of the other companions and their Doctors. A must-read for every Rose lover out there. |
| 920 | ** I agree with the reviewer above. This series is incredibly detailed, well thought out, stays faithful to the characters - both canon and original - and the romance is well done. It's ''really'' awesome how every single classic and modern companion and character is used, how there's a mixture of rewritten canon episodes and original episodes, how good the OC's are, and how intricate and engaging the overall plotting is. Just keep this in mind if you want to read it; the author, Lumendea, is a BIG fan of Rose and Rose/Doctor... and I don't just mean the Ninth and Tenth Doctor's. I don't care, but some people might. |

| 924 | * ''Status'': Complete |
| 925 | * ''Synopsis'': In which Five and Nyssa attend a very fancy party and ''almost'' [[AliensMadeThemDoIt sleep together thanks to a telepathic field]], which is PlayedForDrama for once. Of course, things are complicated by court intrigue, assasination plot and rigid traditions of a planet that takes Myth/ClassicalMythology perhaps a little bit too seriously.

| 927 | * ''Comments'': Intricate to the point of confusing. If you like [[TheStoic Five]] to suffer, give it a read. The author's specialty seems to be whumping Five and having him sleep with Nyssa, judging from their other fics, but in this particular one, the latter gets interrupted before they get to it.

| 948 | * ''Comments'': There isn't a way to overstate how phenomenal this fanfiction is. It follows the life of Alan Turing from the end of WWII to the end of his life, and details his complicated relationship with the Doctor during that time. Without giving away too much (though nothing history doesn't already tell you) the story's ending has left me in tears both times I've read it.

| 1047 | * ''Synopsis'': A fan-made opening for a hypothetical Saturday-Morning animated series of Doctor Who, done in a style and tone of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. Starring the Twelfth Doctor and a younger Mabel-esque Clara, it is made with the intent of being LighterandSofter with a more humorous bent to it than the main show. |
| 1048 | * ''Comments'': Like many fan-made things, it makes you wish it were real. Plus, if you are a fan of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' or have watched the show, you can really appreciate it even more. A must-see if just for 40 seconds of fan-made fun and enjoyment. |

| 1053 | * This is a very well written fan video, animated and voiced by the same person, and it neatly fills the plothole of how Dalek Caan got into the time war in the first place. It's three parts plus an epilogue, and is well worth a watch. |

| 1058 | * ''Synopsis'': Now finished with roughly 11 minutes of footage as a mock trailer for a whole fictive anime season. The "plot" consists of Davros and the Daleks struggling with the Master (Two of them!) and the Cybermen over control of Japan while the Third Doctor arrives and meets the typical anime ActionGirl for a companion. A number of spiffy action scenes are shown, including the Brigadier doing a [[TheWorfBarrage Worf Barrage]] on a Cyberman ship and a FiveRoundsRapid by some American soldiers on a squad of Daleks. There are furthermore cameos of Sutekh the Destroyer, the Sontaran Battlefleet and the Supreme Dalek. It also stars professional voice actors Sachika Souno and Phillip Sacramento. |

| 1079 | * ''Synopsis'': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin |
| 1080 | * ''Comments'': An excellently rendered concept for Series 8's opening credits |
| 1081 | ** More than that, it was seen by Creator/StevenMoffat who liked it so much that he asked the creator to come in and recreate it with some slight tweaks (such as a real, official photo of the Capaldi Doctor), and it now graces the episodes of series 8. |

| 1090 | * ''Synopsis'': When Romana heard that Gallifrey had returned, she decided to gather up all the Doctor's favourite Time Ladies and throw a little party... |
| 1091 | * ''Comments'': A silly and fun little music video featuring the various Time Ladies (and Rassilon) in a parody of Music/KatyPerry's "California Gurls." |

| 1095 | * Gorgeous. A layered, meta-driven view on series 5 and 6. It's amazing, epic, thoughful, and has the Ponds being their adorable selves. |
| 1096 | * ''Synopsis'': "That's a fairytale." "Aren't we all?" |

| 1100 | * Wonderful editing with perfect voiceovers. Just epic. Nine and Ten shine in this. |
| 1101 | * ''Synopsis'': A tribute to the Russell T Davies Era. His friends and companions talk about their Doctor... |

| 1105 | * ''Synopsis'': "''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' has this to say about Daleks..." |
| 1106 | * ''Comments'': An absolutely spot-on recreation of one of the animated Guidebook sequences from the old TV series, with perfect Adams-esque dry wit. |

| 1110 | * ''Synopsis'': A music video that pairs Doctor Who with the song "What If" by Safty Suit. |
| 1111 | * ''Comments'': It's a beautiful video that shows the relationships between the Doctor and his companions. The song completely fits Doctor Who. |

| 1115 | * Beautiful editing, beautiful quotes, beautiful music, and my favorite video by far. |
| 1116 | * ''Synopsis'': A video set to Hoppípolla by Liisakee that perfectly sums up Doctor Who. |
| 1117 | * ''Comments'': A great brightener for anyone having a bad day. |

| 1120 | * Recommended by: jarrodbaniqued |
| 1121 | * A re-enactment of a script written by Andrew Cartmel as the audition piece for the Seventh Doctor, which eventually became the basis for the abandoned Season 27 episode “Blood and Iron”. |
| 1122 | * ''Synopsis'': The Doctor confronts, and soliloquizes at, another Thatcher analogue who has consulted him on her mental health. |
| 1123 | * ''Comments'': One of the most beautiful scenes written by Andrew Cartmel in his entire career. Sums up the Doctor’s character and all its majesty neatly. When you see his take on the script, however, you’ll realize Creator/SylvesterMccoy truly was the right man for the job. |

| 1127 | * ''Synopsis'': "There's one thing I always wanted to ask Jack. Back in the old days. I wanted to know about that Doctor of his. The man who appears out of nowhere and saves the world; except sometimes he doesn't. All those times in history where there was no sign of him... I wanted to know why not." — Gwen Cooper, ''Torchwood: Children of Earth'' |
| 1128 | * ''Comments'': Retells "Human Nature / Family of Blood" on both the macro (impending World War I and the Doctor's true nature) and micro (the love story between John Smith and Joan Redfern, Martha's experiences of traveling in the TARDIS) levels. Impossibly well put together, using actual source footage from World War I, text from the show, and a number of other tricks, none of which seem remotely gimicky. Beautifully edited and challenging. Has more than a few moments which can genuinely be described as "spine-tingling." A masterpiece of the fandom. |

| 1131 | * Recommended by: [=TheTroperBeforeTime=] |
| 1132 | * ''Synopsis'': It begins as a simple enough thriller, with a captive being forced to participate in a twisted take on Staneley Milgram's "Obedience to Authority" experiment; it then spirals into tonal shifts, over-the-top acting, and the ultimate twist that reveals it was a Doctor Who fan film all along. |
| 1133 | * ''Comments'': An class film that clearly went above and beyond. Yes it's an amateur short film, but it was made by people who obviously had a ball making it. |
| 1134 | |

| 1136 | * Recommended by: genisgone |
| 1137 | * ''Synopsis:'' This is a difficult video to describe; it can be ''loosely'' summed up as a speculative trailer on what the creator thinks would be a cool plot for series seven, but that doesn't really cover it at all. Without any spoilers, it involves Rose coming back in a way that's intriguing and original, despite only having clips from series two and Journey's End to work with. |
| 1138 | * ''Comments:'' It's excellently edited, and the plot is fascinating. It's not overtly shippy despite Rose's return, and the twist is one you probably didn't see coming. |
| 1139 | ** The Rose thing still seems contrived and unexplained. Though the twist is decent. |

| 1142 | * Recommended by: [=SamTheAwesome=] |
| 1143 | * ''Synopsis'': Seasons of War' is an unofficial short film, which features the character of the War Doctor from the BBC TV series, and has been created to help promote an anthology of specially-commissioned stories about him - all in aid of the UK charity, Caudwell Children. |
| 1144 | * ''Comments'': A fantastic short film about the War Doctor and people affected by the time war. Must see! |

| 1148 | * Also not a Fanfic but a series of videos made using well edited existing footage and audio from both Who and Non-Who sources to make a new story. ''[[{{Vaporware}} Finally]]'' finished with four videos. |
| 1149 | * ''Synopsis'': The Doctor's first and second incarnations have been removed from the time stream so the lord president of Gallifrey enlists the help of the Doctor's third to tenth incarnations to save himself and the history of the Universe, but everything is not what it seems. |

| 1153 | * ''Synopsis'': A fan-made trailer for a Doctor Who dating sim, complete with Japanese voice-over and references to both Classic and Modern series. |
| 1154 | * ''Comments'': One can easily tell from this video that some very dedicated, hardcore Whovians put it together. Take care to read the small text and any words that show up on-screen! |

| 1156 | [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afBkMIgj-Rc The Time War]] by Babel Colour |
| 1157 | * Recommended by: [=TimeLordVictorious=] |
| 1158 | * ''Synopsis'': A fan-edit of footage from both the modern and classic series, with voice-overs about the Last Great Time War and who fought in it, taken from not just the classic and modern runs, but also several Big Finish audios. It was made several years before the War Doctor was created, and thus features only the Eighth and Ninth Doctors. |
| 1159 | * ''Comments'': It still holds up today, and covers a good portion of the Time War, from beginning to end. |

| 1163 | * Considering that fan videos are being added, this needs to be here. |
| 1164 | * ''Synopsis'': All the doctors (1-11) are shown in the vid to the song ''What About Everything''. [=BabelColour=] has used his usual editing to not only shift through thousands of clips, but bring them together so that they completely match the lyrics and rhythm. The seamless blending of the title sequences is simply amazing. |

| 1167 | * Recommended by: Mr.Krabs |
| 1168 | * ''Synopsis'': A whole series of videos that a beg a take on the question of what other episodes of Doctor Who would there have been if it wasn't cancelled after the airing of Survival in 1989. The first season works on the documentary that was made for the DVD of Survival in 2007 which since then has gone onto expanding so much further than you would ever imagine! |
| 1169 | * ''Comments'': Brilliant series once you get into more of the other seasons, especially after the year 2000! |

| 1173 | * Synopsis: "Months after an encounter with a mysterious 'Doctor', Sherlock becomes obsessed with discovering more about this impossible man... until the man makes an unexpected return." |
| 1174 | * Comments: It's a short, beautifully crafted fan creation that depicts The Doctor meeting Sherlock. The entire thing is comprised of assets from both shows so it really looks like they are both there together, edited to almost perfection. It must be seen. |
