Fanfictioneers

I'd hoped that this was going to be a productive week. Hasn't really gone to plan. Come down with the latest lurgy, plus had to work extra hours to cover those who are off sick at work, so it's all been a bit on the knackering side. My brain doesn't really seem to be in gear. When you go to work with odd shoes on, you know you're not quite with it. When you do it twice, you need a holiday.

So, not much progress made on my new story for The Doctor Who Project, tentatively entitled 'Timebase.' Still plenty of time left till deadline, but I had hoped to get it done good and early so I could start work on some other bits. Ah well. Still, the Project now has a rather marvellous poster up for my story Peace of Mind, the first of the 2011 specials.

And you can read a little about it here.

Also on the fanfic side of things, E. G. Wolverson has released the second part of his excellent audio story, Wolfshead. Part two, 'All of History's Heroes,' which you can download from The History of the Doctor.  It's the official end of the site now, which is a real shame, but Eddy has a whole world of more important things to focus on now. It's been a pleasure and a privilege to be part of it; and yes, my story for the Wolfshead sequence, 'The Six Pillars,' is one of the things on my ever-growing to-do list.

Doctor Who is back tomorrow. Rejoice!

Audio Adventures

If you head on over to The History of the Doctor, you'll find a little treat from site maestro E. G. Wolverson. We've had a little fanfic up on the site before over the years - much of it from the prolific pen of Chris McKeon - but this time we've decided to go for something a little different. Wolfshead is the first in a short series of audio stories for the Doctor, available for MP3 download exclusively from the site. Featuring the tenth Doctor during his last days, Wolfshead is written by Mr Wolverson and read by James Bolton, a broadcaster for Rother FM. It features original sound design to complement James's wonderful, pacy reading. Only Part One is available right now, with the conclusion to follow shortly, but I've read the original script and it's a cracking story.

So, although The History of the Doctor is winding down as a reviews site, the occasional little something will be made available for our faithful followers. Wolfshead is the first in what we hope will be a trilogy of stories, the second of which shall be written by me for production at some point in the not-too-distant future. So pop over now and download Part One for half an hour of audio goodness.
