The Doctor held up a finger in Sarah Jane's face. "Not another word, Sarah. Stay right here while I check down this dark, choked forest path for the road up to the manor. I shall return in moments. This spot is perfectly safe. Nothing bad has ever happened to either of us when we've separated in a new, unfamiliar place, now has it?" Flashing her a wide smile full of teeth, he swept his scarf over his shoulder and strode off.

As soon as he was out of earshot, Sarah Jane hopped up and headed down the other dark, choked forest path, directly opposite the one the Doctor had chosen. After all, if one spot was safe amongst the trees, shouldn't any other be as well? After a half-minute, she looked back, only to find that she couldn't quite make out where she'd come from. A low growl startled her into a full run in the direction she'd been heading. Her foot caught on a root and she tumbled out of the forest into a quarry, down a sudden slight incline made seemingly more treacherous by an attempt at a clever camera angle.

"Doctor!" she screamed as she rolled down the slope. A rubbery reptilian form with glowing red eyes lumbered after her.

Is this the end of Sarah Jane???

OMG! We're at challenge #200! Who'd a thunk it? It's been about a year and three months since we started this comm, and we've had over 300 fills! (Probably more, because I haven't tag-wrangled recently - sorry, been a bit lax.) Great job everyone!

For this challenge, I'm going to channel the Stargate SG-1 episode "200", which was the series' 200th episode. In it, the various main characters were suggesting TV show ideas to a TV producer, and so there were short skits showing these (awful, hilarious) ideas. Since two of the main cast were the main characters in Farscape, one of the TV show ideas was a campy, tacky version of Farscape, complete with campy, tacky skit. It was awesome.

In this challenge, take an established property (a fandom or your own original stuff) and write a few paragraphs of the campy, tacky version. Overblown dialogue? Purple prose? Grand self-important speeches? Self-insert Mary Sues? It's all fair game, as you both roast and pay homage to the original material. (For Doctor Who, think "Curse of the Fatal Death".)
