my friend was carjacked and her car was totaled, and she desperately needs to buy a new car to make it to work and classes to finish her degree! if you are able or if you hate insurance companies, please consider donating and sharing: gofund.me/2396793ec

it would be a cool research project to compare the tone and content of the different master box sets (especially concerning missy). like i'm not doing it but there's a free idea. copyright donna noble.

The best part of Harlan Ellison's Doctor Who essay is that Pinnacle Books censored one line and one line only of Harlan's submitted draft dated Nov. 1, 1978. A dig at Anita Bryant at the height of her pernicious political influence in the States.

We’ve been out of Class since 2016.

sarah @teganandsarahj.bsky.social · 2d

NOOOO lmao

sarah @teganandsarahj.bsky.social · 2d

anyways is dwtwt still starting drama on sundays and school holidays bc they're bored when they're out of class

sarah @teganandsarahj.bsky.social · 2d

but it's frustrating to see paraphrases of dialogue in the same order to the same end. it feels disingenuous, perhaps ironically. but of course i won't say anything, just feel bad about it and bad for feeling bad about it.

sarah @teganandsarahj.bsky.social · 2d

we're kind of always bouncing off each other as fic writers anyways, it's a community thing. remixes can be very fun and creative. and i LOVE that dynamic when it's supportive. it's one of the best things about fic, to feel like you're sharing in the creation of something.

sarah @teganandsarahj.bsky.social · 2d

except, upon reading, often their fic is just a paraphrased mash of my fic & others'. very little originality.

now, i allow remixes in my BPS. and it feels hypocritical to care when it's fic; hell, the last two fics i posted interpolate canon dialogue well past the point of recognition (lol).

sarah @teganandsarahj.bsky.social · 2d

posting here bc i don't want people to know who i'm talking about or shame them:
i posted a multichap fic and had someone leave several comments and tell me it inspired their writing. ofc i was encouraging, referred to my blanket permission statement, & they listed it as an inspo for their longfic.

A Doctor Who pure-historical where the TARDIS breaks down in 1750 BC Mesopotamia; luckily, it’s actually a really simple part to fix as long as they can find someone to sell them some good quality Sumerian copper.

LOL i don't blame you!!

sarah @teganandsarahj.bsky.social · 6d

the best thing about studying the 80s as a period of history is making people feel old 💜💜💜

sarah @teganandsarahj.bsky.social · 7d

someone at work asked what my focus was when i was in academia and then said "oh! you could do a lot with that and doctor who, i remember watching it in the 80s."

oh. YES. indeed. 😊

introducing the Lynda With A Y Test: is your side character as memorable as Lynda With A Y?

sarah @teganandsarahj.bsky.social · 9d

me: this book has too many characters, i can't remember them.
also me: can name every dr who companion and actor sequentially

sarah @teganandsarahj.bsky.social · 9d

he's actually a serial killer and really DOES kill everyone he's accused of and more, poisons sybil for leaving downton, murders gregson and covers it up to protect edith, kills lavinia to make room for mary, then cuts the brakes in matthew's car bc they no longer need him as heir, etc
