Captain Who?

"Captain Who" is a fan fiction spinoff series loosely based on the British TV series "Doctor Who". It chronicles the adventures of The Captain, a young Time Lord who was born when The Doctor was approximately 750 years old and routinely infuriating the High Council of Time Lords with his methodology.

What makes "Captain Who" unique is that it is also a crossover series. In the series pilot, The Captain stumbles into an alternate universe populated by cartoon characters, who go on to make regular appearances throughout the span of the series.

The focus of "Captain Who" is on the Third Captain and two of his companions, Lisa Simpson and a Time Lady known as The Chief. Together they counter foes both old and new, at times picking up where episodes of "Doctor Who" leave off and breaking new ground at others. The Captain's primary foes are a race of time pirates known as the Duquoin, who at some time in the past acquired an ancient TARDIS and attempted to copy its technology, with limited success...

The series begins a few years into the Third Captain's incarnation, before going back to fill in parts of his previous incarnations in the story arc "The Three Captains". The series then goes forward, becoming darker in tone before taking a different direction with the inclusion of The Chief in the TARDIS crew in Season Four. Although the series often deals with cartoon characters, the series is not meant to be a children's show. Let me repeat that: the series is NOT some kind of "Doctor Who Junior".

The stories available here are written in a modified script format in order to allow the dialogue to be more clearly offset from the action, while retaining a sense of drama and suspense that would have otherwise been lost in regular script formatting, as well as allowing the story to retain its original First Person Subjective style. (Incidentally, the background to these pages is made up of portions of the original manuscripts laid over an early rundown for the first season, along with a conceptual sketch of a Duquoin.)

All that having been said, it is hoped that "Captain Who" will intrigue readers willing to take a fresh look at the series from an unusual perspective.
