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. And that doesn't seem very likely to happen if I can't even manage one post in the first week of the year. Honestly, self, FOR SHAME.…

I'm heading off down to London tomorrow, then planing off across the Atlantic to the Americas where I'll be going to the smashing ChicagoTARDIS for Thanksgiving weekend.If you happen to be going to this lovely event and, goodness knows why, wish to see my, er, very informed and eloquent flailing in person, I'm on a…
Every Single Doctor Who Story Ranked From Best to Worst
There was an article on io9 a few days ago ranking every Doctor Who story from best to worst which, being a Doctor Who fan, I disagreed with, naturally. So in the spirit of Fannish Ire and 'omg how could you be so wrong' ness, I have made my own list. Couple of things beforehand:…

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,…
Five Doctors DWM Cover
The next cover of Doctor Who Magazine makes me flail with such fannish glee, it's difficult to express in words. So I expressed it with Photoshop instead: Ahem. There'll be an ever so exciting post about Worldcon up soon, but, in the meantime, there's a lovely new Verity! Extra episode up in which Deb…
