DOCTOR WHO – The Gods Plot
UPDATE!!!
Life, as ever, has been a major pain in the behind – hence the lack of updates on this story I WILL finish. In a bid to work around the limited internet and word processing access I'm currently experiencing, I'm going to go about 'The Gods Plot' in a different way; I'm in the process of writing the rest entirely on paper before I even think about typing-up any more.
That way, I can type and post further updates with a more specific update schedule in mind. So, hopefully, any faithful readers still out that should see a new chapter within the next fortnight!
For new readers – a recap! Imagine this to be a montage before and after the show goes on a week-or-two hiatus.
The TARDIS crashes in Ancient Egypt, throwing the Doctor and Martha into a time of deep intrigue and mystery – the gods have come to Cairo, not as word or literature, but as living beings of unimaginable strength... and hunger. The hunger for human flesh.
Our adventurers stumble across the site of the gods latest fateful 'visitation', and the Doctor immediately suspects the worst. Chased out of the temple by the sinister Hem netjer, they find themselves face-to-face with the Pharaoh's convoy and suspicions are thrown out to everyone as our heroes try to clean their name and reveal the High Priest for the evil he truly is. The High Priest slips up in his lies, and causes the Pharaoh to lose trust in anyone for the time being; he decides to delay his judgement until after the sacred ritual...
The annual inundation of the Nile.
Hope that clears things up! And please, to keep your curiosity piqued, feel free to PM me with guesses as to exactly what's going on, and how things will wrap-up...I'll be incredibly surprised if anyone gets it entirely correct – it's one of my stories that's surprised even me! But I can promise you one thing – it'll be sure worth the wait! Mystery, conspiracy, horror, action – all is yet to come!
You won't regret this!
Until next time, faithful companions!

PS: if this story continues to garner enough interest, and if time and my personal situation improves, I have several more adventures planned for 10 and Martha/possibly Donna Noble. These include...
The actual adventure mentioned in one of the early chapters – "The Nightchildren of Sherwood Forest"!
A chilling future horror that wouldn't be amiss amongst zombie movies – "Starbase of the Dead"!
Words fuel the imagination, but what happens when the imagination becomes too powerful? – "The Pen is Mightier..."
Wars are fought for many terrible reasons – but none more terrifying than for a simple game! – "The Gamerian Invasion"!
