August Forever

The Doctor lets go.

A post-Giggle fix-it of sorts.

“Good night, Doctor,” said Shirley as she rolled past.

“Good night,” said Mel and kissed him on the cheek, then, swaying a little, hurried after her.

“Good night,” the Doctor called after them.

“Good night!” Mel called back and giggled.

“Good night,” the Doctor repeated, and they called to each other through the house until the front door shut behind her.

i like how the thirteenth doctor knows her life would be easier if the master was dead but ALSO knows that if she kills him he "Wins" which is completely intolerable. so she just keeps handing guns to random girls when he's in the room and hopes he says something nasty enough that they do the job for her

Together we can make doctor who the new pdf

And underrated DW fan experience on this site is writing a post and it traveling and somebody reblogs it with an essay of tags that are neck deep in such insane eu lore that it reads like word soup in your activity feed because you do not understand how one single solitary word in the entire spiel relates to any of the Other words I'm the spiel. It's the fandom glacier meme for real.

Soo fucking funny that doctor who isn't trending on tumblr over this. Not with a bang but with a whimper

now we have to have a tv movie where doctor billie piper is gunned down and promptly killed by the american healthcare system, only for her to regenerate into slutty paul mcgann again.

I think you’ve all been misinformed as to the actual IP situation of dr who in the 90s. Fans did not “own” dr who in the wilderness years and it’s a massive stretch to even say we controlled the direction of it. Like it’s an actively romanticized and ahistorical view of that time period to say it was a uniquely free time that we can never return to. Because it wasn’t. The major difference is not in how much control fans have as fan-authors (big finish has been actively hiring new fan-authors to write new original dr who stories this whole time) but in the specific content standards of Media In General these days. Like it’s true that we’re not getting Doctor Who: Sex And Violence like we did in 1991 but I wouldn’t even say that element of the VNAs is a major defining characteristic of what wilderness era who looked like.

Which is all to say that it’s going to be more similar to the old wilderness years than you think, but that’s because the old wilderness years were a lot worse than you remember

also: it is an objectively true fact that there are more avenues for fans to contribute to licensed dr who media now than there ever have been in the show’s history, regardless of whether the current moment becomes a “second wilderness years” or not. Do not let nostalgia for a time I Know many of you were not around for fool you—the pool of authors for the VNAs and EDAs were tiny compared to the amount of new writers big finish alone is bringing in. It wasn’t populist, it wasn’t The Fans taking Control, it was a few specific fans (overwhelmingly white and male fans with a very narrow view of what doctor who is or should be) taking direction from editors who ultimately reported to the BBC. It may not seem like it but we have been in a great time for fan labor being recognized and compensated by the bbc for a while.
