I have been recced!

Whee! I was wondering why I was getting comments for Tempus Fugit (see also on my fic site) when it was posted a couple of years ago, and apparently it has been recced as one of a series of recs celebrating awesome female characters: http://siljamus.dreamwidth.org/113098.html

Yay!

It makes me want to write more about those two, except for this BIG problem: Carter would NEVER agree to travel with the Doctor, because she would consider it a dereliction of duty, an absence-without-leave. And it's no good saying "oh, make it like with Tegan and have him pick her up and then find it impossible to get her back to the right place-and-time" because she's so tech that she'd insist on helping to mend the TARDIS to fix whatever the flaw was that was preventing her return.

So I can't think of any GOOD reasons for Carter to stay, and that means I can't make her a companion, and that means I can't write any more.

So do any of you have workable ideas to get around this problem?

Hmmm, that's an interesting thought. Certainly the SGC wouldn't be averse to assigning her to liase with this advanced alien... the difficulty there is that I doubt that the Doctor would want to get involved with the military.
But it's worth allowing the idea to percolate.

I made the same suggestion on you dreamwidth journal. Temporary detached duty with the Doctor seems like a good way to allow Carter to travel with him and learn...oh, all sorts of things. Not just the technology. Think of the history she could learn, to say nothing of the innumerable alien species the Doctor has met.
