Contest #3; Character Study

Start Date: 7th of January 2016

End Date: 30th of January 2016

***

It's a brand new year and that means a brand new contest! We are absolutely loving all the positive responses to our contests so we can't wait to see what this month will bring us.

To start off 2016, we are giving you a contest that will hopefully help expand your skills as a writer (educational and fun, exciting!). Original Characters (or OC's for short) are a great way to shake up fan fiction. They add a whole new personality and level to the universe you are writing in and they let you explore writing with a character that can even be more loveable than the canon characters.

Your Prompt: This month we want you to explore Doctor Who through the eyes of an OC. They can be a companion, villain, anti-hero or someone the Doctor ran into along the way. They can be in any scenario as long as the story is told from the OC's perspective (1st or 3rd person is allowed for this.) We're looking for writers who can bring their OC to life and make us wish they were part of the canon universe!
