    Exactly @arbutus. I think I was concluding that, but on the other hand, no bad thing to take a moment before crashing straight on.

    The question then becomes who is the audience, and consequently, is your story that must be told one that anyone cares about 😉

    If I might be so noisy, what do you guys write?

    I’m mainly poetry, short stories and…[Read more]

    Geez. Typos :- which is to say, are there things we shouldn’t write about?

  • Barbara Lefty replied to the topic The Cloven Hoof

    @pedant allergic to fanfic. Brings me out in hives.

    Got a wee original thing on the go, light drama

    The should of a story bothers me sometimes. Particularly in the sort of story where you have some good characters and aplot that inteeests you, and it ends that because they are interesting you go somewhere you didn’t expect you go, usually…[Read more]

    I know, I know, every now and again, up pops the newbie saying, I want to write stuff for Doctor Who and then they disappear quickly as the challenges associated with not being an established writer with a body of work, or indeed being any kind of writer with an understanding of editing, or rewrites, or rejection, or committing to something you…[Read more]

    OK. So maybe jumping the gun here but I’ve snaffled my Love film/Amazon/Whatever it is this week DVDs by post ™ settings so hopefully I will be guaranteed to get  Enemy of the World next. Tumteetum. Anyway, pleasantly surprised by their range; have had all the classics I’ve looked for. I now realise that I could have bought the set for the…[Read more]

    Enemy of the world sounds interesting, and apt. All for it

    Hello @amberpearl. Go for it

  • Barbara Lefty replied to the topic The Edge of Destruction

    @purofilion

    We’re all a bit overwrought..

    So if you’d just drink this sleeping potion and get out of my face….

    Love the idea of crows, particularly the ladies in their robes. So disorienting at the start.

    @bluesqueakpip. I noticed the Doctor’s characteristically dramatic volte face; to some extent I felt it was cemented by seeing Barbara…[Read more]

    Hey, tuppence.

    As I’m deep in my Doctor Who (re)discovery phase I am still most interested in classic or Nu episodes which inform about the Doctor’s character/where we are now so I’m going with @janetteB, @blenkinsopthebrave on ‘Edge of Destruction’, ‘Lost in Time’ sounds interesting, as does anything else which gets you that extra…[Read more]

  • Barbara Lefty replied to the topic Last Christmas

    So sorry @spider, did anyone call the animal welfare!?! Have a biscuit. But yeah, going with just a teaser…. probably

    @drben, @nerys, its consistent!

  • Barbara Lefty replied to the topic Doctor Who News (3)

    @lisa, well I suppose it depends where one is in Game of Thrones and who it is! I’m not looking, Schrödinger’s spoiler for me. However, I realise this isn’t the Game of Thrones Forum, so I shall just bug out of this thread if needs be 😉

  • Barbara Lefty replied to the topic Last Christmas

    @spider! Bad dog-spider! There’s nothing there so stop barking! (Nips round to YouTube to check if there is actually something lurking there in the shadows…)

  • Barbara Lefty replied to the topic On The Sofa (6)

    @scaryB twas @janetteB suggested edge of destruction but wholeheartedly concur reading synopsis.

  • @reprisal, hasn’t realised this was  here, was wondering where the sudden dubstep fans appeared from. Just awesome!

  • Barbara Lefty replied to the topic On The Sofa (6)

    Oh @ichabod, that sounds so hard, there isn’t going to be an easy way to do that. But as puro says you are here, and that’s no bad thing. Displacement activities (fair?) are absolutely necessary, can turn into useful and interesting interactions, and help us heal. Sometimes the crazy brain just needs pandered to for however long it needs, and no…[Read more]

    @Bluesqueakpip, @lisa, I know it’s fashionable to be in the Shona camp, but as I am a sort of semi sciency bod (lackey type only), I reckon your on that money and Ashley is the real deal.

    @purofilion, I can only read the funny or outrageous political bios. Tried reading Tony Blair’s, kept wanting to punch things

  • Barbara Lefty replied to the topic Last Christmas

    @ichabod, @lisa @purofilion @arbutus we’re properly down the rabbit hole now! What fun, does this often happen? @ichabod, don’t take away our in-dream resolution by pointing out that it is, in fact, a dream…!!! I’m going with @arbutus here (if indeed I’m following all this at all!) that it is real because Clara’s refusal to leave was a tacit…[Read more]

  • Barbara Lefty replied to the topic On The Sofa (6)

    Cheers @janetteB, hope all reasonably settled for you now. Definitely be up for an Edge of Destruction watch, now we have seen Unearthly child and the Daleks.

  • Barbara Lefty replied to the topic Last Christmas

    And sorry mods, last post should probably be on the sofa..
