Doctor When?

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

Doctor When? (note the question mark), is a Play By Post game based on Doctor Who. However it's set in an Alternate Universe where the Time Lords actually won the Time War and wiped out both the Daleks and the Cybermen. The universe is at relative peace but then a strange Time Lord falls into the universe, a Time Lord who calls himself "The Doctor".

Because the Doctor didn't exist in this universe there are numerous differences including Torchwood never existing, luckily (or unluckily depending on what you are) there are two other alien investigation agencies. The first group is called "Whitechapel" or WC for short, they are a team of MIB who beleive that all aliens want to conquer Earth and basically go around stealing their stuff and Cutting Them Open. The other group Interlace Option, better known as the IO are a rival group of Overt Operative's who are fighting to make Earth a safe haven for Extra-Terrestrials, the problem is that Whitechapel killed their leader so they've been thrown into dissaray. An underlying plot is the conflict between Whitechapel, the IO and the Time Lords.

The site can be found here [dead link]. In the middle of September 2010, the moderators disappeared, to prevent the site from dying, it was moved to a site called Time Travel and Tea [dead link]. And now the moderators have come back and the new site is called Other Side of the Crack [dead link]

Tropes used in Doctor When? include:
  • Alternate Universe: Instead of being "Parallel Worlds", they're more like "Intersected Worlds". This universe and the regular Whoniverse touch for a very brief period, leading to The Doctor winding up there.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Most characters have a Celebrity Claim for who's playing them, inevitably leading to this.
  • Jack the Ripper: No, he wasn't Prince Albert; no, he wasn't Lewis Caroll, and no, he wasn't Doctor Williams. He was in fact an alien called a Juwessasashanav and killed five women to feed his addiction to fear.
  • Orphaned Series: Thankfully averted, when it looked like the site was going to go that way a few members opened up a new site called Time Travel and Tea [dead link] to continue the plot until the moderators get back
