Alright fellow Whovians, who is up for a Doctor ATC series? I hope a lot of you.

The plan is to make one ATC for each of the 12 (or 13?) Doctors. This is Swap #3 of the series so our subject is... the Third Doctor! He was played by Jon Pertwee.

The Third Doctor was a suave, dapper, technologically oriented, and authoritative man of action who practised Venusian Aikido. A keen scientist, he maintained a laboratory at UNIT where he enjoyed working on gadgets in his TARDIS. In his spare time, he was fond of motoring, handing all manner of vehicles. His favourite car was a canary-yellow vintage roadster that he nicknamed "Bessie," a construct which featured such modifications as a remote control, dramatically increased speed capabilities, and inertial dampeners. He also maintained a hovercraft-like vessel that fans nicknamed the Whomobile. The First Doctor, upon meeting the Third, described him indignantly as a "dandy", while the Second Doctor, with whom the Third had something of an antagonistic relationship on the occasions they encountered each other, referred to him as "Fancy Pants".

If this Doctor had a somewhat patrician and authoritarian air, he was just as quick to criticise authority, too, having little patience with self-inflated bureaucrats, parochially narrow ministers, knee-jerk militarists or red tape in general. His courageousness could easily turn to waspish indignation; it is thus no surprise that a common catchphrase of his was, "Now listen to me!"

(Isn't Wikipedia wonderful?!)

We will make 1 ATC for 1 partner.

Use any media you wish: collage, hand drawn/hand painted, mixed media, etc. You may represent the Doctor with his image, his symbols, a quote from him, anything you like. Please avoid making a general ATC since we're going to be making 12 or 13 of these.

Standard ATC rules apply: must be 2.5" x 3.5", with a sturdy backing, NOT sticker slapped (although, good luck finding stickers on the First Doctor!), with some real thought and effort behind it. Do the Doctor and your fellow Whovians justice please.

If you meet the qualifications for being in Whovians United then you meet the qualifications for this swap. I don't anticipate having to ban anyone, but I always reserve that right.

I will angel after you have made multiple attempts to contact your partner with no luck (please also copy me those messages) and rated a 1. I don't think that will happen. =)

I can't wait to see what we all come up with for the Third Doctor!
