Wanted to write a story for the First Lady of Big Finish? Here's your opportunity! Big Finish are asking for a story featuring young Benny during her time at military academy before she meets the Doctor in Love and War. Due to licensing, you aren't allowed to use the Doctor, or any monsters or companions from Doctor Who. Get your entries in by April 12th, and go! The winner will get their story published in the December In Time short story collection, and read by Lisa Bowerman, Benny herself, for the audiobook version. Yeah. www.bigfinish.com/news/v/bernice-summerfield-collection-and-writer-s-opportunity

Really want to, but got too much on. Damn I think I have the opposite problem. I can make the time to get something in under the deadline, but nothing in the way of story ideas because I'm (much) less read or listened up on Benny than I probably need to be to put together a proper submission. Would anyone out there be interested in teaming up on a story? Your concept and continuity/characterization checks, my writing?

I've been looking through her wiki page and most of the stories from this period of her life are actually included in the BF anthology collection Missing Adventures, so I might buy the eBook and give them a quick read.

Really tempted to give this ago but don't really know Benny that well. Plus not sure what word count for story sample is or what to put in about me bit.

It says short paragraph, no more than 150 words for the outline and a couple of paragraphs for the style - that to me means up to about half a page. As to 'about me' they want to know you can write and do so in the timescale available

So, did anyone else give it a go? There's still just under a day and a half to get your ideas in! Good luck all!

I gave it a shot, though I doubt I'll have any luck. I was a bit disappointing it had to be academy-era Benny as I would have had a much easier job thinking of a story that involved archaeology.

Phew, just sent my submission. Clicking that send button is never not gonna be terrifying. My feelings exactly. Just got it off now - about thirty minutes before the deadline. It's certainly a thing! Hopefully a good one?!

Yes, a real little niche in her chronology - I had to brush up on the details (thank goodness for the TARDIS Wiki) and then actually did as advised and listened to the start of 'Love and War'. Managed to get some archaeology into mine, sort of.

(thank goodness for the TARDIS Wiki) Amen to that. I'd have never remembered Beta Caprisis without it.
