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?

Sam would be MIA and want to get back from that scenario.
I suppose getting her back could become "interesting" if the TARDIS got damaged from say a Glider shot.

What if Carter was supposed to have been killed or captured but wasn't , thanks to the Doctor's intervention? Time paradox and its resolution might make an interesting story.

Now, that's an interesting thought. Hmmm.
