These stories continue the adventures of Feather Wind, Stern Wing, and Vision's journey with eccentric Time Lord the Doctor and his adorable assistant, Derpy Hooves. This is the sort of sequel to "Sky Dancer, the First Flying Unicorn". More specifically, it is an extension of chapter 17, "Adventures in the TARDIS". While reading Sky Dancer is not required, these stories will most definitely have spoilers for everything before chapter 17 but not after that chapter because those chapters haven't happened yet in this timeline. This is a closer look at the years Feather recapped past for his daughter. However, these new stories won't be flashbacks anymore. Rather it will be told as if these events are occurring in the present tense.
Each of these stories will be told in its own arc which follows the formula of the classic Doctor Who series. When an individual adventure is complete, the next story will be told in its own arc. Some threads of these stories might have an over-arcing story, but otherwise, they'll have an episodic formula. Great effort is made to make this series feel like an authentic Doctor Who episodes insofar as characters, setting, events, and plot are concerned but they'll have an MLP twist.
Rock on Dr, Whooves, Derpy, Feather Wind and Stern Wing!

Thank you. I assume you are one of the ones who gave this story a like. As of this moment, the one part posted has 21 views.
It's spelled TARDIS.

Thanks for the correction. I went ahead and applied those changes to all past, present, and future chapters, including the main title of the entire story.
11529275
Thanks,I look forward to reading it. I don't mean to sound annoying, it just bugs me when people misspell TARDIS.
11529421
And thank you for reading it and for the constructive comment. I sincerely hope you enjoy it and that the story shows genuine effort.
So, i tried reading this. It's not bad, it's great actually but i can't get behind the characters and it just confirmed that Doctor who does not interest me. This is more a "me" problem than the story itself. Great work, just not my cup of tea.
Maybe i'll reread shadow queen, it's been a while now

Thank you for giving it a try and letting me know how you feel.
I don't suppose you read False Face? Maybe it would be more your cup of tea. I don't know. Perhaps you already read it.
11699445
Eh, i was meaning to but i got caught in other stories and i just kept forguetting about it, but yeah, it is on the list to read eventually
Haven't read thus yet, and it is looking promising, so hopefully I have a blast, not many good doctor whooves stories on fimfiction, hopefully I like this one.

The preference of each person is different. I offer a piece of my world. How far you chose to travel in it is up to you. For as long as you do, I hope you'll agree that you travel in good company.

Thank you

Also, I didn't mean if they were actually good, art is subjective, I just meant, there's not a lot of long form doctor whooves stories still in work and not in hiatus rn, it just seems the community for doctor whooves isn't strong in fanfic form rn.
11842145
Funny you should say that. This story is about to go on hiatus soon as soon as I post all the rest of the chapters of the current arc I'm on, and I struggled to finish it too. I have much practice with dialogue now rather than action, but Daring Do is the main character of the last arc so far, albeit a version of her before she became a professional adventurer. Still, can't have a Daring Do adventure and avoid action for long.
A few smattering of ideas have come to me about the next arc though. Lately I've also been busy helping a couple of former roommates through very tough times.
Besides, although there is a story thread through all of the arcs here, this story isn't really about working towards a true ending. Instead, it is episodic just like mlp and the Doctor Who show. This story really could go on and on so long as I have ideas and time to write it.
In the meantime, wouldn't mind feedback from you and perhaps even story suggestions when/if you ever read this.

More recent update. As of today, finished first chapter of next arc after the one I recently finished. I think I'll wait till I'm done with the entire new arc, if it gets to that point, before posting any of it. That still means this story might go on temp hiatus but now there is some momentum behind it. Hopefully I can finish this new arc too.
There's been an uninterrupted chain of chapter posts once a week for about a year now. That's the longest chain of posts I have so far. How far will it continue? Who knows?

Ok, got a good place to consistently wedge my time in to watch this, so I am gonna start today, with at least 1 chapter a day.
Alons-y
nice chapter, can’t think of anything to criticize, it is a bit of a jarring point to begin the story though. Can’t wait for more.
Dang, bringing up all the questions people always ask when someone begins to watch doctor who.
Love the explanations and how everything is approached.
Good chapter, don’t know what to say, but I feel like I am on a roll for commenting on every chapter so far, so why stop here?
This could be a translation error you know doctor, unless he’s just switching it off or something, the doctor can do a lot, and it seems you are retconning some of the things about the doctor to this story, for the sake of this story, so I am not exactly sure if he is as OP as he actually is in the source material.
dang, I’ve always said this, but reading it out like, said through someone else's words and own opinion, this felt like a trip. But to be fair, that’s what the character thinks, not you necessarily, just shocked to see how much the logic of this story speaks to me, this story explains things the way I would.
I’m hoping on later adventures that the doctor will have big speeches later on.
Also the use of the word ‘sobs’ implies that this crying is super loud and visceral, which seems a bit off for the doctor’s character, for me at least.
But if that’s what you’re going for, than that’s fine.
love the dynamics so far, can’t wait to read more.
VIsion is a nice character, hope they don’t die.
11845650
That is appreciated because any feedback I get can help refine my craft and let's me know where you left off so far. Also I am very glad you're enjoying it so far. That did make smile. 😊

Actually, Feather is the closest thing this story, and a few others, comes to a self insert. He was the OC that convinced me to write MLP fanfics in the first place.
That said, there is differences between him and me too. He more represents a true heart ideal in spirit.
I've thought this for years too, only Feather is more articulate about it than I normally am, but hey. He's a poet.
11845711
You may have a point. What word would you recommend?
11845736
They share that sentiment, including Vision
I have been recently studying conlangs, I love how language works, I don’t know where I am going with this, but this sentence reminded me of that. So I am using this because I don’t want to lose my streak of 1 comment a chapter.
Loving this so far. Great characterization.
Kind of makes me think of cybermen or dalek, wonder if they are possibly going to be the recurring villain to the doctor in these adventures.
A dalek?
11845952
Probably not, the doctor’s reaction wouldn’t align with what he does in this story unless you are going for something different, and who am I to say what is more over the actual creator or the current owners of the property?
Klaxions? From kid cosmic? The Netflix series? If not the coincidence is funny.
This speech is so stephen moffat, and I am all for it.
NO!!! DON’T DO THIS TO ME!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU’RE DOING THE SONG!!
it has been so long since I last thought of this song, damn.
I hear baldumborat’s voice’s essence bleeding through the lyrics.
Damn, I just realized the title of this chapter is, I am the doctor and ends with I promise. This is oddly poetic.
Great start to this story, in a way, a bit of a rough beginning due to just being trusted into this, I kind of like a beginning stage, like the doctor first discovering Equestria and this universe, but I can also understand not doing that can cause a greater message of, ‘that is not what this story is about, and I am ready for the action now, and that is not important for the story you are about to tell’.
11845961
Ah ... yeah. In this case it is a coincidence. I haven't seen that show.

I thought this song fits with Derpy's innocent nature so much, and at this moment, how it's helpful in solving the problem. The Doctor uses his ingenuity to utilize a raw, innate talent of one of his beloved companions. It not only helps to sooth Vision and show how much Derpy cares, but also comes clutch to healing a source of pain for this adventure. For this first arc, every one of the TARDIS crew gets a chance to shine. Makes a fitting introduction for them.
One thing I can't easily tell from your comments is if you're moved by this or honestly bothered by it.
11845978
Glad you approve. That's one of the goals of this story here. Make the characters shine and help inspire any of this story's readers.
YES! This is something that is missing in most Doctor Whooves stories, and in Doctor Who itself, adventures that are purely slice of life, with low stakes, and relatively realistic playing out of events! The only thing that does this is ask blogs, but that’s all those are in a way.
I love this cast, super strong, can’t wait for more!
