Hey all!
Although we don't deal in fan fiction on this wiki, I just wanted to make sure you were aware of an exciting new competition that the BBC launched today. They're asking for digital submissions surrounding the Twelfth Doctor (yes, the Capaldi Twelve) in a specific scenario.
Launching as part of the BBC's Make it Digital campaign, which encourages people to experiment with coding, programming and digital technology, the new Mission Dalek challenges fans to put together their own stories featuring Peter Capaldi's Twelfth Doctor, bringing him into conflict with his most persistent nemeses. Exactly how he gets there is left entirely up to you, with the BBC providing an almost entirely blank slate. The broadcaster says "there’s no need to know about the upcoming episodes, except they involve the Time Lord taking on the mighty Daleks."
Would-be creators can use clips and images provided by the BBC, or shoot their own footage. Content can include new, original aliens, or feature existing Doctor Who enemies, such as Missy, the Cybermen, or -- of course -- the Daleks themselves. For anyone unsure where to start, there are tutorials in digital content creation available on the site.
In practise, it seems there is a bit more structure to the contest place than the BBC makes out. The main site leads with a starting description for the lead-in, which indicates what sort of stories are being sought. It reads: "Lost in space and time without his TARDIS, the Doctor is trying to make contact. The only clues as to where he is are in his 2000 Year Diary, located in the TARDIS Core. Use these clues to create your very own #MissionDALEK adventure to tell us how the Doctor comes face-to face with the Daleks once again."
Note that, while people from all over the world are invited to submit their work, only people who are 16 and older, and legal residents of the UK, can actually win the prize: a visit to the DW set in Wales to meet with Peter Capaldi himself.
