okay no i’m not done talking about this (queer doctor who). the first companion from the edas series was canonically bisexual. hinted at as early as the second book and she had a girlfriend in a later one. these are actual doctor who stories with explicitly queer companions and characters in the late 90s. the second companion of the series is also bisexual. he’s in love with eight and says thinks like “I was engineered to love you, but with the doctor it’s the real thing,” and fantasizes about sleeping with the doctor, and muses that everyone must be in love with the doctor. the very next companion is aroace. eight is the first doctor to have his gender discussed in any meaningful way, and it’s all to highlight how genderqueer he is. this is one book series. the expanded universe is full of this shit!! this was thoughtful and deliberate queer representation in the fuckin 90s! and people are still eating up clara’s “is she/isn’t she?” bisexuality. we have gotten better in the past and we deserve better now.

Just for an instant the Doctor contemplated what would happen if he were to become irreversibly insane.
And then someone not very far away screamed horribly, which was a great relief, somehow. The Doctor knew exactly what to do when he heard horrible screaming-run towards it and help.
(From The Drosten's Curse, by A.L. Kennedy)

I’m reading In The Blood by Jenny T. Colgan. I’m enjoying it so far. And after I’m finished, I’d love to read another DW book. 😊
What is your favourite Doctor Who book?

Being a non-brit Doctor Who fan is so frustrating like, what do you mean I have no legal way of watching the show? Not even the revival? Surely I can get my hands on the books? Or the comics, audios? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHIPPING IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE ACTUAL PRODUCTS

i will always remember the night I read a snippet of the legends of River Song
I remember being so excited about reading the sample and even more excited that the first entry was from their picnic at Asgard
But as soon as I finished it I closed my computer and turned of my lights and just stared at the abyss of my room at like 4 in the morning
And then I started writing fanfiction, so nothing bad came out of it, right?
All jokes aside, picnic at Asgard practically changed my brain chemistry both when I started reading it and finally finished it when my mum got me a copy of the book.

The Timewyrm is one of the best Wilderness Years characters simply because artists drew her in so many different ways:
Concept art (DWM 167)
Concept art (Andy Lambert, DWM 182)
Concept art (Andy Lambert, DWM 305)
The New Adventures Prologue (Paul Vyse, DWM 175)
Timewyrm: Genesys (Andrew Skilleter)
Fanart by Paul Cooke
Blacklight: The Art of Andrew Skilleter
The Last Word (Lee Sullivan)

Reading "The Wintertime Paradox" and look!!!!
The Doctor writes fan fiction??? Plus a mention of Braxiatel?? Fan service at it's finest (:
By the way, I've been thinking of uploading videos/pictures of each book, so people can read them for free. I know you can access some online but not all. If anyone would be interested in reading this one and wants me to do it, send me a message and I'll set out some time to post at least some of the stories in these stories collection dw books! I have a few, not many, but I figure some people might be interested.

anyone ever think about how in the edas the eighth doctor is like the most explicitly asexual doctor in the history of doctor who but he also has more sex and fade to black moments than any other doctor before or since. every single edas author was like “he’s asexual but he’s also a slut” and i respect that

[The Doctor] could feel his muscles straining, his head spinning - and the tumult of temptations rolled on. The Bah-Sokhar knew him now- he knew what to offer better than all the petty tyrants and monomaniacs who had tried to buy him with crowns and riches. Nightmares he was used to, monsters he could resist, wealth and glory didn't interest him... but happy endings, visions of rich and fulfilled lives, of saving and aiding lives... visions of his own life finally reaching a point where he didn't have to leave just as the good bits happened and the dangers were done with... That was much harder to resist.
(The Drosten's Curse, A.L. Kennedy)

Biggest hindrance of Doctor Who being a family show is that it ends up preventing authenticity. By which I specifically mean there's no damn way that Donna's response to some of the things The Doctor says wouldn't have been "Fuck off."
