Jerri Blank Strangers with Candy

My kingdom for a Doctor Who/Star Trek TNG crossover!

The gods of fanfiction are calling to me, and yay, I will reluctantly answer. My brain can never stop processing ideas. Seriously, I lose so much sleep this way.

It's been haunting me for days now: the prospect of writing a Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover. Actually, I'm thinking about writing three. In all likelihood there's probably going to be several written by fans in the wake of the new film, but deep down I'm a TNG fangirl at heart.

So I've been thinking about it and to be perfectly honest I'm spoiled for choice. So many ideas, so little time!

The first is the 8th Doctor with Charlie and K'rizz investigating a time anomaly in the past while the Enterprise-D encounters and investigates a similar anomaly in their present. This of course brings them together, and in typical TNG fangirl fashion I'm going to draw in Q somehow. (I've been watching Q episodes lately and I'm dying to write him.)

Secondly there's the 10th Doctor and Rose on DS9 seeking out Quark to buy black market spare parts for the TARDIS. However Odo had taken the form of a bar stool, grabbed the Doctor and had him locked up. Of course this is right on time for a Dalek invasion. The Daleks steal the Bajouran Orb of Healing and disappear. Where? To the mirror universe where the Daleks serve at the whim of the Intendant (evil Kira) and use the orb to cure her of a deadly poison that would have done her in. The Doctor discovers why the Daleks are there, battle of wits, rah rah rah... much fun.

A quick sample of what I had in mind.

INTENDANT: Seize the terrans!
DOCTOR: Woah woah woah woah! I'm not a terran. Go on, take a look. Two hearts, see?
*they check him with tricorder scans*
INTENDANT: Very well. You may not be terran, but your companion is. Take her to the ore processing plant!
DOCTOR: Ahm, actually, I'd rather you not. You see she's a family pet and I couldn't bear to part with her.
INTENDANT: Pet?
ROSE: *incredulous* PET!?
INTENDANT: Do you have papers?
*The Doctor flashes some psychic paper*
INTENDANT: Very well then.
ROSE: *whispers* We'll talk about this later.

Lots and lots of fun! (Plus Dax recognizing the Doctor as a lecturer from her academy days.)

Thirdly, finally, the Doctor (10) and Donna wind up inside an asteroid within the gamma quadrant. Inside is what remains Gallifreyan matrix. On the outside the USS Voyager duelling with a trio of borg cube ships. This, the Doctor being taken prisoner by Starfleet... again... and Donna making lots of "I love a man in uniform" cracks at Tom Paris, and you have yourself another crossover!

Ugh. My brain is made of fanfiction soup tonight. TOO MUCH CHOICE! Decisions, decisions, decisions. (I just needed to air this somewhere to keep my inner geek from drowning. Hopefully after this I can look back more objectively.)

So far I've found 3 TNG, 2 Voyager and 1 DS9 fics online crossing with Doctor Who, all on fanfiction.net. If anyone could point me at some more it would be greatly appreciated.
