Doctor Who on Twitch - again!

Oh dear, I spend a few days not checking in on Doctor Who news websites, and what happens? They drop a new Classic Who marathon on Twitch! with a few days' notice! So they've started on January 5th already and are currently busily streaming the Hartnell era!

If you're in the Doctor Who fandom, or if you have been hanging around and following my journal, you might remember when Twitch streamed most of Classic Who in marathons of three 8-hour runs a day, five days a week, and that's when I managed to get a taster of all the eras, fall in love with several of them and get obsessed with the Second Doctor era, and it all went crazy from there.

So, anyway, they're now apparently doing a quicker version of the marathon, by streaming it all in about three weeks, every day, two 12-hour runs per day. Which is really way hard core for me, so I don't really expect to do a lot of watching even though I have more free time now, but I sure will use it to catch some of the stories I wasn't able to see during the summer marathon. The link I provided above has the schedule if you want to try to catch up on some, too. (They've helpfully provided how many episodes each story is, which makes it a bit easier to calculate what's airing when - an episode is 25 minutes.)

So anyway, I just watched The Dalek Invasion of Earth, which I didn't catch before. Oh, Barbara is just so awesome! I'd forgotten a bit how much I enjoyed this era already. (And I'm tearing up a bit now, because of the ending.)

I found this out last night, when I couldn't sleep and was checking out new podcast episodes to listen to, and Radio Free Skaro had this in their description. And then I figured out that as awake as I was feeling, it wouldn't hurt to watch where they were at. It was showing some episode from The Web Planet. Let's just say that when I finally fell asleep again, my dreams were very trippy.

Chocolate Box writer letter

Hello, dear Chocolatier! (is that the generally accepted term? Hope so!)

I’ll be really happy for fic about any of these fandoms and relationships. And if someone happens to browse this who also does art, I’d also be happy with fan art, I just haven’t got enough ideas about art to prompt what I like in it, so I decided to request just fic.

I try to provide lots of prompts and general likes and such in the hope that it helps you on with your writing, but you don’t need to feel any pressure to incorporate specific likes or use specific prompts. I’m always happy with either gen or shippy fic, and even when I ship two character I tend to madly adore gen with the same characters, too. You can always modify or combine prompts, too, or take a shippy-sounding prompt and turn it gen or vice versa.

As long as you avoid my DNWs, feel free to create anything you like with these fandoms and characters, and I hope you will have fun writing!

Fandoms and relationships

In the fandoms with multiple relationships requested, the order of the relationship tags is the order I got them in the sign-up form, so it doesn't indicate preference. And if I have more prompts for some fandom or relationship than another, that doesn't indicate preference either, I've only requested stuff I'm really keen to see! (In particular, I realize looking at this that I've got ridiculously many more prompts for Classic Who than New Who, but that's probably because I'm newer into the Classic Who fandom, so my thoughts haven't coalesced as much yet and they're all over the place. Or it may be a feature of how awake I was when I wrote each portion.)
