Oh yes! If you have any links to recons send them my way via IM! Funny enough I just got some new DVD's this morning for Who (mostly stuff which has been out a while which won't be rereleased in any of the Revisitations sets - Aztecs, Ark in Space, Horror of Fang Rock etc)
It's fair to say that the 60's female companions were - interesting and occasionally well written as they could - were often there to scream, sprain their ankle and other rather womenly things. Despite this I do love many of the 60's girls - Barbara, Vicki and Victoria in particular.
I usually prefer Gen Fic too given that it's like the actual show and the era it's trying to replicate. That being said I do have my prefered 'pairings' which have either always been around (like Ian/Barbara, Jamie/Victoria, Five/Nyssa and Amy/Rory) or fellow fans have got me hooked into (case in point - lostspook getting me into Liz/Brigadier!) But despite that I reckon Classic Stuff tends to be less (and forgive me for not having a better word but as a fanboy it does always pop up in my mind) 'fangirly' than several New Series fics. Indeed this has often threatened to put me off characters like Rose Tyler altogether! But to each his or her own.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the rest of the Pertwee era! Three is one of my joint place top three Doctors (Five and Ten being the other two) and I think you'll really enjoy the first appearance of Sarah Jane and Tom's first season (Giant Robot! Davros' first appearance! Highly Campy Cybermen and Snakeish Cybermats!).
