Throughout the season there will be a force or entity that is trying to assert its power and influence. The Doctor will continually feel like his life is not his own. Something, or someone, is trying to control him. Trying to influence him and guide his destiny. Something is trying to take control of the universe and make it its own. The Great Intelligence is at work again. Each story the Doctor will battle its influence either directly or indirectly. But each time he does, his life seems to be slipping away from him. Each battle tires him out more and more and he begins to age. By the end of the season the Great Intelligence will be at full power and will make its last great stab at taking over the entire universe. Despite the Doctor being tired and worn out he summonds the strength and courage to defeat the Great Intelligence one last time.

The Doctor will be joined by two new companions this season in the form of Val Rossi and Tom Brooker who will travel alongside of the ninth Doctor.

Throughout the season, as well as before and after, readers are encouraged to join the TDWP FORUM at www.thedoctorwhoproject.com/forum to participate in discussions, polls, share opinions and more on the stories and overall season. Membership is free to join, so drop on by and sign up today.

TDWP Is Looking for Story Reviewer(s)

The Doctor Who Project (TDWP) is looking for one or two individuals who would be interested in reviewing their stories for publication in the reviews section of the TDWP site.

There are no major qualifications for the post other than: a) it would help if you like to read fanfic, b) are able to write a well put together and unbiased review, and c) would be willing to write reviews on a regular basis. In reviewing the stories, you would be able to freely express your own opinion of said story and aren’t expected to tote any “party line” – basically the review is your own opinion.

If this is of interest to anyone, or you would like further information please feel free to email TDWP at tdwp[at]thedoctorwhoproject[dot]com.

You can visit the TDWP site at www.thedoctorwhoproject.com

A Focus on Fan Fiction

If there’s one thing about Doctor Who fandom that really catches my eye it’s the sheer variety of high-quality fan fiction that’s currently available. In fact, I’m so impressed by this phenomenon that I tend to take every opportunity I can to write about it. 

The decade-old The Doctor Who Project (www.thedoctorwhoproject.com) is probably one of the best known collections currently doing the rounds on the fan circuit. Helmed by Whotopia’s Senior Editor, Bob Furnell, this series lays claim to an all-new timeline of Who events, stemming from the end of season twenty-six of the television series. Two regenerations and a cartload of companions later and The Doctor Who Project’s Ninth Doctor has just completed his second full season of exciting adventures. Available to download for free, I highly recommend checking out this series. 

Of course it’s not all text-based stories. For starters, I can’t say enough good things about Whotopia’s splendid comic strip Blossom Core by Kyle Borcz and Jon Wesley Huff (check out the opening instalment in the free-to-download Whotopia Issue 5 at: www.whotopia.ca/downloads.php). As for Malcolm Orr’s brilliant diorama series Time Tales (www.drwho-online.co.uk/timetales) words almost escape me. Orr conjures up a magical mixture of words and model-based images, which are an absolute visual treat. More of Orr’s sterling efforts can be found at his site, Tales from the TARDIS (wwwtalesfromthetardis.co.uk).                                     

All of which is to say nothing of the simply awesome puppet-based Genesis of the Moleks by Jay Tyson and the team at 99 Acre Woods (www.requiemoftheoutcast.com/99acrewoods/2008/10/13/genesis-of-the-moleks). Combining top-notch CGI with some first-rate puppetry – and a very cool re-working of the Doctor Who theme music to boot – and you have one of the most innovative slices of fan fiction around. 

Moreover, let’s not forget that fanzines like Whotopia and DWAS’ Celestial Toyroom are always on the look out for new pieces of fan fiction. So, if you’re thinking about putting pen to paper why not take the plunge and give it a go. With no production budget to worry about, actors’ egos to massage or Michael Grade-inspired hiatuses to sidestep, only your imagination’s the limit!
