I am sleeping so badly this week. And I know part of it's down to ridic anxiety with the world at large. Not even mental health related anxiety, since I really don't think it's irrational to be anxious given the daily news of what's going on. As my dear friend Deb Stanish put it on…

HamilWho
Hello, lovely people! I spent an hour or so of today engaged on a terrible enterprise. Hamilton, that wildly successful musical (I say, just in case you don't know what the dickens I'm on about), has been mashed up with all sorts of other fandoms in all sorts of ways because Hamilton is kind of…
Three Lovely Writing Things
Hello, delicious readers! I am currently rather excited as I'm off to The Americas next week, which will be full of convention (Gallifrey One) and friends and larks, but also HEAT. It is NOT FREEZING in California. Oh, for the joy of not dressing like a Yeti! In the meantime, let me share three lovely…
Happy New Year and all that…
Some might argue the New Year arrived about a week ago; these people are, of course, wrong. It was yesterday. That bit before doesn't count because there were floods and I had fake flu, and I wish to start the New Year both well and not feeling faintly panicky every time it starts to rain.…
Face the Ravenclaw
This week's Verity! is out. I have not heard it yet, but I ASSUME they are all very excellent and correct about how great Face the Raven was. If not, I shake my head in fannish sadness at em. Also, the first special ep of Down and Safe arrived safely on Monday. It's almost two…
I live on podcasts and wine, apparently
Yes, I owe this blog, um...four posts about Doctor Who. And I will make them. It's just this has turned into a ridiculously busy time, and I've had to do a smidgen of prioritising, alas. What I have found time for, however, is a few extra podcasts. So if you just have to find out…
Everybody needs good podcastings (sung to the tune of Neighbours)
This is a post about podcasts, which are aces, but first I need to make myself a GIANT NOTE so that next time I move my computer I'll be less concerned about 'workspace' and 'plenty of natural light' (all those windows are doing is eating what little heat there is, dammit) and more concerned about…

Down and Safe: The One with the Gorn
At some point today, this was supposed to be a disorganised but delightful con report about Nine Worlds, but the little hand is well, well past the twelve so I should actually have been in bed for about two hours. I leave you instead with this fine link to a freshly minted episode of Down…
I think I can blame this on ComicCon
I was flicking through lists of San Diego ComicCon panels on the YouTubes looking for anything of interest to me that wasn't Doctor Who, and I failed really quite badly. (The two Doctor Who panels are however excellent and I'm totally not saying this just cause three-quarters of both panels were Scottish. And that Moffat's…
Down and Safe
The first episode of this shiny new podcast that I'm on came out last week: Down and Safe, an episode-by-episode look at Blake's 7. B7, in case you don't know, is a smashing BBC sci-fi show that aired from 1978 to 1981, and combined awesome banter and fabulous costumes with broken morality compasses and spaceships.…
