calliopes_pen | Spook Me Prompt Poll

I’m working on the plot of the fanfic for the

spook_me ficathon, using either the prompt Mad Scientist, or using ideas prompted by the covers of Donovan’s Brain or Death Watch.

So far, best I can think of is a bizarre Mad Scientist convention the Doctor attends with Jack and Donna. He destroys the occasional evil invention, in between being a great big science geek. One device can make the wearer think he’s really just a disembodied brain. Another is a watch that kills anyone that wears it—it was supposed to send them into suspended animation. Possibly set after A Slap Is Worth A Thousand Words, in which case it would include Jack, Donna, the Doctor, the clone, and Rose.

That, or something involving the Doctor and Donna accidentally going to the wrong century--they see they are at Geneva, near Lord Byron’s estate. The Doctor wanted to take Donna to 1910, to see the first Frankenstein silent film, but he’s thrilled to get to hear the beginnings of the Frankenstein story firsthand. Since he thought Victor Frankenstein was inspiring for him--he assures Donna he hasn’t unearthed any corpses for experimenting on in the last 400 years or so. They try to pose as servants (so they can listen in--it doesn't work, so they try other ways in) after wandering the estate for a bit.

So I’ve started a poll. Vote for either of the above, or vote for Other. If you can think of a good prompt using one (or more) of the three assigned, just post it in the second poll. Or in the comments. OT3 centered ideas would be great.
