[ID: venn diagram. the two individual circles say "people who have put music on bandcamp.com" and "people who have written EDAs". the text in the middle is "jim mortimore". /end ID]

Was revisiting some pre-NuWho gold eruption regeneration descriptions because of course I was…
Jim Mortimore’s fakeout in Parasite is fascinating for revisiting the bizarre sequence in Planet of the Daleks when Pertwee literally frosts over, while the visualization of almost a film blur is striking, and the “golden spores” coming from his mouth is hilariously precognitive?
Miles’ descriptions throughout Interference pushing The Tenth Planet’s light and fade into something meatily high concept (with just a touch of Muppet Christmas Carol’s Ghost of Christmas Past) is nifty especially with Sarah literally dragging the humming corpse through the dust?
I have all the notes sitting beside my desk, in the same dusty box as they've been in for the last 10 years or whatever. It is on my list. If I don't die of old age first. I had thought about doing it as a Patreon thing in monthly installments and offering it to Stuart when it's done - but I don't really have enough patrons to keep the cost down, unfortunately. It's a bit awkward in regard to copyright too - unlike Who, I don't want to step on Stuart's toes here. He's a decent bloke and a cool editor. I suppose I could write it as an orginal novel - but my experience is that fans of FP and WHO don't really buy original SF - from me anyhoo!

Read that again. “SEASON. LONG. MARRIAGE. SUBPLOT.”
exCUSE ME??!!!!?!!?!!?!
