Welcome to Wattpad's official book of fan fiction for the Eighth Doctor in the hit tv series Doctor Who!
The Eighth Doctor, played by the amazing Paul McGann in a TV movie in 1996, is one of my personal favorite incarnations. He is also the star of many different audio dramas produced by Big Finish, with companions like Charley and Lucie. There is also a book series called the Eighth Doctor Adventures (often shortened to EDAs by fans), which is a 73-Book series of original novels published by the BBC from 1997-2004. Some of my favorite Doctor Who stories ever come from the EDAs, so I highly recommend reading them.
The Eighth Doctor has more companions than probably any other incarnation ever. I am sticking with some of the more well-known ones for the sake of familiarity - and even some of these companions are obscure! I also have him with companions from Classic Who.
Some of the things to remember, if you personally don't know much about Eight:
- The writers give him amnesia whenever they get bored. He spent over a hundred years on earth with amnesia. (See EDAs The Ancestor Cell through Escape Velocity).
- He has severe claustrophobia (see EDA Seeing I by Kate Orman and Jonathan Blum).
- Most of his companions fall in love with him at some point. (Notable exceptions include Compassion and Anji, both companions in the EDAs. Compassion is asexual and Anji isn't interested).
- He is a very physical incarnation. He kisses people when he's excited and has definitely slept around a bit. He's also okay with getting naked every so often. (For examples of all these, see the TV movie, as well as EDAs: Dominion, Unnatural History, Autumn Mist, and Mad Dogs and Englishmen).
- He can be absolutely terrifying sometimes (see Audio Zagreus and Scherzo and EDAs Endgame and The Book of the Still).
