Welcome!

Do you post about Classic Doctor Who, the Doctor Who or Bernice Summerfield novels, the Big Finish spinoffs, or any of the even wilder and weirder spinoffs out there? Or would you like to follow people who do? This is your hub to find others in the fandom!

FAQ:

How does this blog even work? - If you want to promote your blog, hop over to the submissions tab (it says “Introduce Yourself”) and answer the questions there. The submission will go into our queue and will be posted soon! If you want to find new friends in the fandom, just follow the blog or scroll through the archives and you’ll hopefully see exciting new blogs introducing themselves.

Who are you, anyway? - I’m Aurelia, my main is lurking-latinist. I’m just doing the administrative work to make this blog exist, I’m not in charge of anything in particular!

What do you mean by Classic Who and DWEU? - Classic Who is the version of Doctor Who that aired before the 2005 revival. The DWEU (Doctor Who Expanded Universe) consists of the many BBC-authorized and not-technically-not-authorized audio dramas, novels, short stories, and graphic novels that also tell Doctor Who-related stories, including spinoffs like Bernice Summerfield, Gallifrey, The Diary of River Song, and Jago & Litefoot. I’m going to make a somewhat arbitrary decision and say that this blog isn’t focused on the televised spinoffs Torchwood, Class, or the Sarah Jane Adventures, since those are bigger and have their own fandom spaces. (Of course, if you post about those and Classic/DWEU, this blog is for you!)

I post about other things too, is that ok? - Absolutely! As long as you regularly post about Classic Who and/or the DWEU, even if you post about lots of other topics, it’s perfectly fine to submit your profile. In fact, I bet lots of us have more than one fandom or interest in common!

I’m not a content creator, is that ok? - As long as you post something–whether that’s fic, art, memes, headcanons, weird TARDISwiki facts, rambles in the tags, reblogs with comments, or anything else–then please do submit your profile! Transformative work, commentary, encouragement, and information are all valuable contributions to fandom.

I’m brand new, is that ok? - Again, as long as your blog isn’t completely empty, feel free to submit your profile!

I submitted a profile but now I want it taken down. - That’s just fine! Message us and we’ll take it down ASAP.

I submitted a profile but now I want to change it. - If it’s substantively changed (e.g. you started posting art when you didn’t before, or you got into a new spinoff, or you changed your URL), just submit a new profile! If you just want to correct a small error, message us and we’ll see what we can do.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible for the content of the blogs linked to here or for the quality of your interactions with them, and I cannot moderate interactions that occur off this blog. These profiles are provided purely for information and are not an endorsement of any person or blog.

I’ve started this project! Feel free to reblog this post or otherwise spread the word–and, of course, please submit your blog profile if you wish to do so!

“if i wanted to get into [obscure doctor who spinoff], what would be the best way?” there is no good way. pick a random book and hope it’s not the one that costs $20,000. put one of the audios available on spotify on shuffle. watch torchwood backwards or something

This post really made me want a website that selects random Doctor Who stories to force myself to get out of my comfort zone, but there wasn’t really a good one online. And then I was like, Hey, I’m a computer science student.

… so I coded a website.

I used a massive database for it. Like I’ve been consuming Doctor who content for over a decade and I still don’t recognize most of these. It was really fun to make (I encouraged people to try it out and share it :)

she looks a little ugly but that’s okay!! plum pudding, because christmas just wouldn’t be christmas without it. thanks to @theladyjojogrant for sending me the recipe. full disclosure i don’t plan to make one again, but i’m glad i gave it a go!

I love it!!! Well done! 😁

THING DOCTOR WHO EXTENDED UNIVERSE FANS SAY:

- “The Time War Doctor? Oh, you mean Paul McGann!”

- “Yes, the Sixth Doctor DOES undeniably have the highest quality serials in general.”

- “You say you liked the episode ‘Dalek’?” *WIDE EYES, LEAN IN, WHISPER: “You should listen to Jubilee. Here, I have it on a thumb drive that I keep in my pocket for just such an occasion.”

- “What’s your favourite Doctor Who episode?” “A Death in the Family. No, wait! Doctor Who and the Pirates. No, no, uh, Natural History of Fear!”

- *nerdy professor voice* “Well, in the books the Eight Doctor made the decision to start counting his age over again fresh beginning with his current regeneration, and even though the books are not technically canon with the audio dramas, he DID spend at east three centuries on Orbis In the EDAs and we can assume there was a fair amount of time between Charley/C'rizz and Lucie based on his behaviour in ‘Blood of the Daleks’. I don’t think that Seven was lying when he said he was nine hundred and fifty three. Nine probably wasn’t lying when he said he was nine hundred either, so it’s fair to assume based on the evidence that the Eight Doctor lived for over eight hundred years!”

- “Peri and Mel are such great characters…”

- “ZAGREUS LIVES INSIDE YOUR HEAD ZAGREUS LIVES AMONG THE DEAD ZAGREUS SEES YOU IN YOUR BED AND EATS YOU WHEN YOU’RE SLEEPING.”

- “Lady President of Gallifrey, Romanadvoratrelundar…”

- “Rory is your favorite character? Can I perhaps interest you in THOMAS HECTOR SCHOFIELD?” “You like River? Let me tell you about BENNY SUMMERFIELD…”

- “Apropos of nothing, let’s talk about Fitz Kreiner, Evelyn Smythe and Erimemushinteperem.”

- Clara: So I may have accidentally invented a boyfriend. The Doctor: Yeah, I did that once and there’s no easy way to get rid of an android. “SHALKA DOCTOR IS CANON!??!?!?!???!!?? AHHHH!!!!”

- “My favourite new!Who Companion? Definitely Lucie Miller.”

- The Doctor’s brother, Irving Braxiatel, whom he grew up alongside in House Lungbarrow…“

- “LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS LOOMS”

this but completely unironically and it makes me cool and sexy actually

In the novel Doctor Who: Blood Harvest by Terrance Dicks, the 7th Doctor runs a saloon and becomes friends with Al Capone and he makes his own booze by making it in the TARDIS swimming pool and bath tub. 

Now I have an image of Benny and Ace at some point on this mission swimming in the TARDIS pool full of alcohol for the fun of it.

for @stillthesunkenstars based on her tags from my Gallifrey/BS incorrect quotes post!!

for the permanent record i didn't write or intend this as a ship, just two slightly insane DWEU antagonists meeting. and i haven't read the book(/s?) with Avril Fenman, so her characterization here is based entirely on Georgia Moffett/Tennant's portrayal in the audio The Curse of Fenman, hope that works lol

(fic below the cut!!)

Hey so can we just talk about how absolutely insane Time in Office is or—

I wanna talk about Time in Office!! But it’s been too long since I heard it so I don’t have any coherent thoughts I just remember it being a ride

(Tell me yours!)

Okay it’s going to take me some time to organise my thoughts on this masterpiece but in the meantime here are the “spoilers without context” notes I took while listening

trying to understand brax’s timeline is like unravelling the worst knot of headphone wires imaginable. except there’s multiple headphone cables and they’re spliced together in weird places and you’ve somehow found three of the plug end and none of the headphones. also they’re all black cables and it’s dark. someone is laughing in the background. you’re not sure they’re actually the same thing, or if they’re even really headphones at all…

also the cables are probably trying to murder you. or your planet. for the greater good.

And as of Enemy Lines, it seems Big Finish have just decided to say “screw it” and take scissors to the whole mess.

file this under jokes i wish i didn't understand

NO
