Home from Gallifrey 2015 for over a week now. A nice quiet week as I recover from a hectic weekend of friends, panels, drinking, talking, and flailing at amazing costumes, but no con crud! I blame the fact I've been forcing myself to eat broccoli this year. Here are some of the things that brought…

To the Gallifrey-mobile!
I'm off to Gallifrey One aka Gally this weekend, and I'm trying to pack and I hate packing, so what's actually happening is tons of productive procrastination and no packing. Mostly I hope it's warm in Los Angeles. I am totally imagining the eye-rolling of certain friends as I type this since they have like…
Nine Worlds Incoming!
Nine Worlds is coming up this Thursday! I'm obviously calm, collected, and completely organised. If you don't know about Nine Worlds it's a ridiculously fabulous convention held in London and encompasses all manner of geek culture, including literature, gaming, cosplay, fandom, some twenty-six other things (ish – can I count signings as their own track?),…

To the Gallifrey-mobile!
This blog post does slightly resemble a rabbit in a waistcoat in that it is a smidgen late, and according to my dubious schedule of "surely you can find time to write one of these things a week, self?" I'm actually due to write another one, um, today. But never mind! Let us move on…
ChicagoTARDIS 2013
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…
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,…
Defence of the Skittle Daleks & other news
Sadly I'm not actually going to be defending the Skittle Daleks in this post, but I will be doing so this Saturday. So if you too are heading to Gallifrey One (that whacking great Doctor Who convention in LA) this week then you can mock me in person. Hurrah! This'll be my, er, sixth Gallifrey,…

Where, by simply commenting on my rather smashing co-editor's blog post over here or…
