Doctor Who is basically accidentally-communist panto /pos which tries really hard to pretend it ISNT communist because it is owned by the BBC. british institutions cant even give Robespierre credit for helping create the world that lets them exist, much less someone like Lenin

I should note that earlier works wouldn’t really count as fanfic, as fanfic is a specific historical phenomenon that arose in direct contradiction, and thus unity, with copyright law. However, both the works of Ovid and Shakespeare AND fanfic fall under the umbrella of derivative.
it’s really only with the rise of the copyright and both the big and petty bourgeois that derivative works of fiction (fanfic) began to be endowed with negative connotations of unoriginality or, god forbid, cringiness. You’d never call Ovid unoriginal.

Doctor Who and Homestuck are similar in that when you really get into them, deeper than the surface, they irrevocably change the way you engage with fiction.

I largely think you shouldn’t take anything at all from this book at face value tbh (in a good way)
This section at the start of The Book of the Enemy gets me a lot. Things are described in pseudo-materialist terms. Asking who is profiting from what. And yet a simple marxist analysis eludes us if we take it at face value, as the Enemy is described in terms both bourgeois and proletarian
![Pre-narrative Briefing A:
These buffers are presented for your safety between quasi-active-text experiences.]
The Enemy is not a certain world, nor is it a certain species. At one time a person may be of the Enemy's camp and at another neutral, or even allied with the Great Houses. To be of the Enemy is to have become infected with their rhetoric, to have adopted their methods, to strive towards their ends rather than our own. Ask always - who profits - is it us, or THEM? Is it those who create or those who consume? The Enemy are always in a minority, but their very inconsistency serves them for a shield. They wear the flesh of the commonality, they bow (seemingly) to their superiors, but they invest their every act with an irony which is symptomatic of their progressive disconnection from the world-machine. They are cogs which grit their teeth, and deny that all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds. They are immune to the certainty of history, and their most sinister belief is the assertion that *anything* might not only have been different, but that it might *still* be different tomorrow. By Enemy here, of course I speak only of the 'Rep' level; behind them, we know, stands (if standing is the correct anatomical metaphor) a different kind of entity, a different experience of what it means to be. It is by no means a false step (although it may be a step which is partially a circumambulation) to describe the Enemy by the German phrase: Weltschmerz. The one thing which the Enemy cannot abide is a Utopia. They are incapable of contentment, and this is their great weakness.

I have this idea of a short story series based on tokusatsu. Kinda the pithy summary is “what if Deltarune was Power Rangers and Metal Heroes via pseudo-string theory”

I think of the Enemy (War in Heaven) as basically the culmination of the dialectical process as applied to the Time Lords. All the contradictions in Time Lord society, ideology, dogma, and action. The internal contradictions causing Time Lord society to collapse around their ears.

Bluesky really isn’t left-coded, it’s just kinda liberalism coded. Not the same thing, really.
The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

ok story idea: the Master gets the Doc with a Tissue Compression Eliminator, but because of the events of Planet of Giants (plus some technobabble), it turns out the Doctor isn’t harmed by shrinking. Issue is, how do they get back to normal…?
what does it say about me that Planet of Giants is my favorite First Doctor serial? Not necessarily the one I’d rate the highest, but my favorite

The issue with being so influenced by Homestuck is that I find writing in second person to be the most natural way to write, and people either dismiss 2nd person pov out of hand, or treat it as a gimmick with no utility outside specific genres or experiments

The problem with living in the genAI age is that people really underestimate just how uproariously funny and culturally important bad art can be. Like I'm one hundred percent serious "bad" messy art is so important.

did Laura Drake now. First and second images are of her as Jenny’s manager. Third is her when she decides to get in the ring herself, using some enhancements which are “dubious” in terms of in-ring rules
