Awards Eligibility and Recs
It's that exciting time of the year where many creators of stuff fantasy and science-fictional do a very sensible thing: make a post about what creations of theirs are eligible for what awards. This is particularly useful for the absent-minded, who may have missed or forgotten something, and the lazy, who really really appreciate it…
Unfurl the New Year!
I'm sure I made some sort of decision, probably around Christmas after a little drinkie when everything seemed shiny and possible, that I would do more blogging this year.

Doctor Who: The Enemy of the World, episodes 1 -3
New Doctor Who! Practically a whole two stories of new Doctor Who! So, after some considerable flail, I was able to summon the calm to sit down and watch the beautiful, perfect, shiny new Troughton stories now free in the world, without accidently dancing the dance of Omg!New!Troughton.

Worldcon 2013
I went to Worldcon in Texas in the United States and I did not get shot or die of heat. I admit it's probably fairly unlikely either of those things was actually going to happen and I may have been worrying about them far too much but still, I count it as a win. (Also,…
