hahaha, yesterday i listened to an audiobook, today i am looking up more about the 7th doctor on the net. no reason, just curiosity. i am halfway through an eighth doctor novel. it's like ... it never ends.

Well, I just started reading the Virgin New Adventures from um, somewhere in the middle. I am getting quite Sevened-up (ooh, haha!). I was listening to a Seven audio at the same time, which was confusing, in a fun way, because it didn't seem to fit in with any continuity whatsoever. Now I'm wondering if I can do the same trick with Eight books and Eight audio along with the Seven books. Or if my head will just explode.

Also, my Series Two box-set is stranded at the Royal Mail sorting office!

You're telling me, I've spent the afternoon with Rose and the Doctor and extras and Russell T Davies and episode commentarys and I think I'll be dreaming of Jack and the Doctor in compromising positions tonight.....

Fun though isn't it?

Oooh, Jack/Doctor. There's always something to look forward to, isn't there? Even if only in our minds... :)

900 and something individual episodes, about 400 books, over 100 audio dramas and god knows how many comics... *g*

Yeah, well... I didn't have much on for the rest of my life, anyway. :)

That's the spirit!

I worked out today that I've been into Who for about 21 months, old school stuff maybe 18... it's rather scary how much canon you can get through in that time.

Your stamina is quite breathtaking! :)

I've been doing a fair bit of dipping in at random, but I think I may be heading for scary 'following bits through in a linear fashion' territory. I do want to get to know Eight, he seems like a nice chap.

Eight is lovely. And so much of a slut he makes Ten look relatively unflirtatious, bless him.

Ooh, good! :)

*prepares to leap into the fray*

There's so much that we can't even find all of it! (Seriously. During a period of neglect at the BBC, some episodes got lost. There are people who've dedicated their lives to tracking down copies of lost eps, in places like Hong Kong.)

But there's something to be said for a fandom you know won't just cut you off as it's getting to the good part.

Oh yes, and then people claim to have found them abandoned in somene's rubbish, and everyone goes mad. I like my fandoms insane. :)

I'm sure there is!

Do you happen to want another Radio Times audio freebie, if you don't have it already? It's The Stone Rose, read by David Tennant - I can upload or send you the CDs as you prefer.

Ooh! Yes please and thank you - I'd be very happy to download! :)

I haven't forgotten you; I've been trying to upload to my webspace, but either the server or the ftp client is being an arse (my money's on the server) and it hasn't worked out. I'll try one of those transfer service thingys, I'm sure I have an account with one of them.

Indeed. Thank god there's a Doctor Who fan of the old school persuasion in my family who buys the DVDs. Mostly the 3rd doctor. Still don't know quite where to start though.

Ah, it's tricky, isn't it? And that's even without the books and the audio and the rest of it. I swear by a combination of asking knowledgeable people for recs, and dipping in randomly and wilfully.

ps. I think I have cleverly seen through your sekrit identity. ;)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Not particularly hard is it? And yes, I did thief the name from your post. And yes, I spelt it wrong. Iset this up because I noticed that when I was added by loads of real life people, my geeky posts stopped because I'm such a closet case. Besides, I'm sick of being so traceable.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Yes, it can be tricky juggling fannishness with real-lifeness. But I say, hooray for geekery, in whatever form! :)

You can always say you were being clever with the spelling. Just be mysterious - people are bound to believe you.

I can only get into the last 2, and I liked but was not mad about Torchwood, tho my sis said when Jack hears the Tardis at the end of the series, she screamed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to reading your fic :-)

I liked Torchwood, but I thought it had serious problems. I'm looking forward to a second series, but it in no way compares to the way I'm frothing at the mouth for New Who! Hearing the TARDIS always makes me scream a little bit, although usually I manage to keep in inside. :)

[link] [parent] [reply]

Oh, and I really must finish that fic! I'm so, so, so near the end it's silly.

[link] [parent] [reply]

And most of it is Great Fun!

Yes! :)

Doctors 7 and 8 are massively under-appreciated. The books and audio are tremendous.

Yes, I'm just starting to realise that! I just finished reading 'Love and War' by Paul Cornell, because I read his 'Human Nature', seeing as it was free on the BBC site, and I loved Bernice. So I thought I'd go back to her first appearance and carry on from there. Incidentally, I hear rumours that Cornell's two-parter in the next series might be a version of 'Human Nature', which is interesting.

I'm not sure where to start with Eight books and audios, though. Any recs or pointers?
