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…

Verity Two Cents: 10 Doctor Who Companions That Should’ve Been
In last week's ep, and for Verity!'s first episode on companions, it was a discussion on Doctor Who Companions What Never Were, or Guest Characters We Really Liked And Are Bitter About Not Becoming Regulars (that may just be me.)

Companion Stuff
So we've done something terrible for Verity!. On last week's show, we announced our theme for 2015: the companions of Doctor Who.

A Lovely Post of Lovely Things
Not, y'know, universally lovely things, though obviously a post of kittens and spaceships would be keen, but lovely things for me, lovely writing related things, which I fully intended to blog about in a more timely fashion but clearly that didn't happen so everything gets thrown in together, like a cake!

Everything I Loved About Deep Breath
I wouldn't call this a review so much as a ramble. It got quite long: I loved rather a lot about Deep Breath, and what are blog posts for if not to natter on interminably without the cruel shackles of editorial oversight! Anticipation levels of self were Exceptionally High for this episode. Which was quite…
Verity! Big Finish Round Table
This week's Verity! has three whole guests on it! Or two, if you think we cheated by including me. But two guests! All novel and exciting for us. And there's a competition, with prizes from Big Finish, ra! Behold: "We at Verity! often jabber on about Big Finish, but this time we thought we’d let…

Breaking Bubbles Bits and Pieces
My Doctor Who audio from Big Finish, Breaking Bubbles, is out this month. Precisely when? Not a clue. But there are a couple of THINGS to do with it that of which at least one, I am assured, is yayful and lovely. Naturally, I lack the courage to look and/or listen to them without first…
