Oh, I've been meaning to do a Gally (Gallifrey One, the greatest Doctor Who convention in the world) report for, uh, two months now? A long time anyway. In my head it was a beautiful thing, detailed, and effervescent and lengthy. I think I'm going to manage one of those things. For this post will…
A I type I keep glancing up at the window to make sure the land hasn't been covered in a sheet of white. Storm Ciara has hit the UK and it's a bit, uh, blustery out. And cold. And sleety. And snowy. I'm off to Glasgow later today, where I'm flying from tomorrow, but there's…
So excited to wake up this morning and discover that The Diary of River Song Series Seven is out! It seems forever since I wrote it, and it's such a thrill to know it's finally out in the world. It also remains utterly bizarre to me that I *wrote words* that *Alex Kingston* acted, and…
There are hundreds of articles about starting podcasting online, full of helpful and relevant advice. Is this one of them? Uh, maybe. Sort of. I guess. I mean, why not? I have experience though! It's coming up to Verity!'s seventh birthday (how??!) (also, you can enter our seventh anniversary giveaway!), and Hammer House of Podcast's…

PANIC. Stretch. Lots of stretching. Like gum. Or spaghetti. An infinitely long piece of human spaghetti. Call for help. Then remember that sounds doesn't travel in a vaccum. Consider how neat that Stargate episode is, where a black hole attaches to the Stargate and tries to such the Earth through. Remind myself that Romulans use…

I always find it a bit weird to be so saddened by the death of someone I don't know, even though it makes perfect sense: just because you don't know someone doesn't mean they can't affect your life, bring you joy, inspire you, give you comfort. They're still a part of your life, and when…

An Admiral hails you. They're probably going to betray you and Starfleet principles. Half of the senior staff are giving acting lessons. Half of the senior staff play a musical instrument.
