So, this obviously has to be a thing after the Christmas Special. One last time, folks. (Moffat Appreciation Days might not be a thing of the past, but they will never truly be the same, right?)
That said, a couple of things have to be sorted out before we go for another round of Moffat appreciation and I’d love to have some input.
1. When should Moffat Appreciation Week 2018 take place?
I’ve been aiming for late January, tenatively the week between January 22 and January 28, but nothing is set in stone. So if you prefer one week over another or have a completely different suggestion, I’d really value your input.
2. What kinds of prompts do you want to see there?
Right now, there are a couple of prompts on the forefront of my mind. I really want to do “Favourite Doctor”, because I think it’s a surprisingly flexible question (sure, it might be Eleven or Twelve, but there’s always Clara or River... or maybe even Steven Moffat himself). Of course, there will be a final day dedicated to just celebrating Steven Moffat himself. And I’d love to bring back “Favourite underappreciated work”, because I imagine the responses will be spectacular.
That would still leave four days wide open though! What would you love to write or read (or make gifsets or...) about? Previous prompts have included favourite characters, episode, arc, line, moment, friendship, villain and many more - you can look at them here. But we could always include new ones, for instance a day for our favourite Doctor Who Special written by Moffat.
3. Do we want to do anything different this year?
For instance, I quite like the idea of an “afterparty” in which we take some time to actually read people’s posts, maybe look back at our favourite metas or gifsets (or fanfictions or videos...) over the last couple of years. And you know, cry a lot.
