Bio:

I love Jane Austen and am discovering that I am somewhat of a SciFi geek. I love Doctor Who and Star Trek, but I am beginning to realize that I might be drawn to them because they both feature strong women of color in Uhura and Martha Jones. I was excited to find this community, as I always crave fiction centered around three dimensional women of color.

Summary:

A Doctor Who/Supernatural Crossover: When Dr. Martha Jones hits a rough patch in her life (her fiancée's been stepping out on her and her confidence in her job performance is waning) she calls on her best friend, The Doctor, to sprint her away, losing herself in promises of far off galaxies and fantastic new worlds. It’s a trip she’s taken before. Only this time, she’s suddenly ripped away from the TARDIS and tossed into a strange car with an even stranger (though admittedly very attractive) man at the wheel, ranting about his missing brother and evil demons. Which was all very ridiculous, because everyone knew that demons weren’t real.

Were they?

Dean Winchester was having a pretty good night for once. He and his brother Sam had killed a nasty demon in record time, and he’d been settling in for an evening of cold beer and hot women. So when his brother disappeared inside some kind of bright light, to say he was irritated would definitely an understatement. He had no idea where Sam was, or how to find him. And now he had some crazy (though very hot) British chick yaking about aliens and time machines, like that stuff was real.

It’s not, is it?

Title: Chapter 15: Chapter Fourteen

That was awesome! I read it all in on go, ignoring hunger to get to the end. That was all very well done. I like Martha as a Time Lord. But, I wonder about her traveling alone.

Title: Chapter 1: Genetic Transfer

Very nice. I always thought that "genetic transfer" was rather thorough. I mean, he could have just licked her. But no, he chose to snog her senseless. Who can blame Martha for developing a bit of a crush after that?

Author's Response: :) Thanks for reading!  And you're right, he took a few liberties. :)

Title: Chapter 1: A Dream Come True

That was great. Now I have to watch that episode. I imagine Spock would be rightly confused by things like racism. 

Author's Response: Human racism, yes, but he's no stranger to prejudice, I think.  But yes, I do enjoy that episode, if only for the first ten minutes of it!  Thanks for reading!

Oh! These stories are so precious. Ok, your TOS Spock is currently beating out the Quinto Spock I've been reading and writing about in the competition for the sweetest Vulcan. But, it is just a three Vulcan race.

Author's Response: Well, Sarek is kind of hawt too!  But I do prefer Lenard's Sarek to Cross's, but Spock is win no matter who plays him.  Thank you for reading!

Title: Chapter 1: Prologue

Jovanfanever,

Sorry, I deleted your question by mistake. I picture Freema Agyeman of Doctor Who and Law and Order UK playing Mary. I was trying to find pictures of dark skinned black women in Regency garb, but such pictures are hard to come by. Freema played Tattycoram in Little Dorrit. I imagined Mary as taller than Freema. I don't like to write petite heroines, maybe because I am not petite :-P So, if Col. Fitzwilliam is 6'2, Mary is 5'8. So, in the picture below, put Freema in platform shoes and give her a bit of a tan, and you'd have a good visual of Mary :)
