Doctor Who Unofficial and Charity Fiction
Missing Pieces
Love may be only a story, but stories are the greatest things in the world.
From the dawn of time to the end of everything, the Doctor has fought against evil, challenged the darkness, righted wrongs and saved the occasional planet from disaster. And now, together with his faithful companions and his trusty TARDIS, the mysterious Time Lord from Gallifrey ventures forth on an all-new campaign for truth, freedom and a hot cup of tea, in this landmark charity collection featuring contributions from four actors from the long-running series, over thirty professionally-published writers, sixty prominent fan writers and a plethora of talented artists.
Join the First Doctor as he witnesses the Charge of the Light Brigade; the Seventh Doctor as he faces intrigue in ancient Antioch and injustice in Nazi-era Poland; and the Sixth Doctor's adventures in shopping malls. Be witness to the Fourth Doctor's battles against a murderous fury in modern London and a savage gangster war in 1950's Las Vegas. The Third Doctor's love/hate relationship with a clever white witch, and his perpetual game of chess with an old foe. The Second Doctor's encounters with Hollywood legends and time traveling filmmakers. The Fifth Doctor's adventures in a Florida retreat. The Eighth Doctor's sabbatical in the fine arts with Leonardo da Vinci. And the personal demons the wandering Time Lord faced before he left Gallifrey — before the mythos began....
The adventures span the universe: The Master's fiendish plot against a people in Paradise. The daring quest of the rogue Tharil Time Lord, Romana. Anji Kapoor's near-miss with the Sixth Doctor. The horrific truth behind the transformation of Kamelion. The apocryphal adventures of the young handmaiden Katarina. Benny Summerfield and her forgotten loves. A very peculiar visit with Iris Wildthyme. Nyssa's brush with showbusiness. Sara Kingdom's last great adventure. The timeless relationship between Samantha Jones and the soulmate she left behind. A game of golf with the mysterious Dominie and Alice, the Doctor and Ace's enigmatic shadows. The conundrum of the savage Leela, lost among the spires of New York City. The secret life of the Whifferdill shapeshifer, Frobisher. The ancient rage that strikes against the TARDIS itself.
Stories of intrigue, drama, action, suspense, and even a romance or two... all in a book featuring all eight television Doctors and nearly every companion from the television series, the novels and the audio plays. MISSING PIECES is a collection for the ages!

June 23, 2013Yes, I totally did write the Fifth Doctor story "Irresistible Force" in this anthology, and I'm still rather fond of it more than ten years later. (It's still on the web if you're curious: http://www.whofic.com/viewstory.php?s...)
Apparently I like to write stories about people getting haircuts and terrible things happening in Kitchener-Waterloo. I have no idea what this says about my psyche.
Also, I never received my contributor's copy of this anthology so I can't tell you what I think of any of the other stories, but I'm sure most or all of them are quite good.

I contributed the 1st Doctor/Steven story "The Breach" to this collection...and it seems like oh so long ago. I read it now, and there are things I would change...but for a story I wrote quickly, in a white heat, I remain happy with the end result. The rest of the collection is full of quite the collection of authors...it's well worth the read. I wish I had been able to obtain my OWN copy of this book at the time of publication...but you can't win them all.

I don't remember how I heard about stories being wanted for this anthology, though it was most likely through yahoo groups or something. I took the title literally and used a throwaway comment to write my First Doctor story regarding the Light Brigade. I researched the hell out of it and was so excited when it was accepted.
Once I got my copy I read it cover-to-cover and I still have it. If you're a fan of the show and short stories, I heartily recommend this.
