Well, 'Not Your Usual Ghost Story Dr Who' is unique because it combines elements of mystery, sci-fi, and horror in a way that's never been seen before. The characters have complex backstories that add depth to the story.
The unique characters and their adventures. The time-travel concept and the way it explores different eras and scenarios keep you hooked.
A great Dr Who story often has an engaging villain. For example, the Daleks are so well - loved (or hated) because they are a constant threat to the Doctor and the universe. Also, a unique setting can make a story stand out. Like the underwater city in 'The Underwater Menace'.
I'm not sure who Dr John Dancy is in this ghost story as I don't have access to it. He could be the main character.
A different regeneration Dr Who fanfic might stand out if it incorporates fresh storylines and unexpected plot twists. Maybe it reimagines familiar settings or introduces never-before-seen companions.

For me, in my true ghost story, it was the unexpectedness. I never expected to experience such strange things. One minute I was going about my normal day or night, and the next minute there were these unexplainable events. It catches you off - guard. There's no preparation for it. And that sudden realization that there might be something supernatural around you is what makes it so terrifying.
