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:

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?
