Doctor/Master Poll!

[teyla]

Doctor Who is a wonderful fandom, because it has almost no canon. Or at least no consistent canon. The further you go back, the fuzzier the details become. Doctor/Master, being a pairing that encompasses all of canon, from the very pre-TV-show beginnings to End of Time Part 2, is therefore a very flexible pairing--every fan has their own theories about what the early years of Doctor/Master looked like. So I decided a poll was in order.

Tell me all about what you think happened in the early years at the Prydonian Academy. The poll asks some basic questions, but if you want to elaborate in a comment, you are more than welcome to do so. Have fun!

. . . My answers differ by 'verse! I still like the idea of Looms, because the mental images involved are cracky as all hell.

Also, you didn't give the option that they might *both* have married. I think the Master would have married if he had to, for political reasons. Not like he does in canon, or any such thing . . .

I know, I realized that once I'd posted the poll. Bad me. Usually I'm better at this. But people can always tell me in the comments who they think the Master ended up marrying.

Although I always thought that your Master made the impression that Lucy was his first wife, political marriage or not.

Oh, yes, my Master was never married before. He thought it was silly that the Doctor got married. But I was thinking other people's Masters might have gotten married.

This is my favorite sentence today.

. . . It does look a *little* odd when I read it out of context >_>

*is really, really used to talking in Who-language*

Heh, I was gone from fandom for a while, and I'm just getting back. It's things like this that remind me why I love it so. ^__^

I agree, simply from Ten's incredulity at the fact the Master had a wife!? (And no rubbish beard!)

Hee, yeah. I think the Doctor was the one who entered a political marriage back on Gallifrey, in fact. Because in my head, when they were doing their politics thing on Gallifrey, the Master wasn't so much the one the public paid attention to. The Doctor was the sympathy figure, and as such, he was the one the emotional opinion of their followers hinged on. He got married to a close friend, so it wasn't completely random, but he made it official only because of political reasons.
