I intended to make another attempt to do a post a day in December. Last year was unsuccessful but, hey, I tried. ALAS, it is 2020, so I missed the fact that December started yesterday. Well done me. This year, well, everyone knows about this year. It started in March, lasted approximately three decades, and…
Oh, I've been meaning to do a Gally (Gallifrey One, the greatest Doctor Who convention in the world) report for, uh, two months now? A long time anyway. In my head it was a beautiful thing, detailed, and effervescent and lengthy. I think I'm going to manage one of those things. For this post will…
There are hundreds of articles about starting podcasting online, full of helpful and relevant advice. Is this one of them? Uh, maybe. Sort of. I guess. I mean, why not? I have experience though! It's coming up to Verity!'s seventh birthday (how??!) (also, you can enter our seventh anniversary giveaway!), and Hammer House of Podcast's…
No, it's not the Doctor Who post in a vaguely timely fashion. I shall get to that about two hours beofre tomorrow's ep, probably. Still, I've now at least seen last week's ep. (One and five sixths thumbs up.) But, anyway, here are some VAGUELY RECENT podcast things I have been doing that I record…
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…
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 assume they're faster anyway. This is because I had my first podcast recordings yesterday since I had NEW INTERNET installed. And it was amazing. Uploading, instead of taking a seriously cantakerous hour, was over in 3 mins, and that was for two podcasts, *and* the Skype call didn't even lag. It was ridiculously awesome.…
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…
As we all know from, um, watching movies and stuff, timeliness is for losers. Thus, despite being released on International Women's Day, it's only now that I write this blog post on the ridiculously gorgeous anthology Cranky Ladies of History edited by Tansy Rayner Roberts and Tehani Wessely, in which I have a story, 'Little…
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…
