Hello. I'm Brooke and I'm new to the community. I was actually looking for local support in the site help and guidance, but found none and then I saw a link for this community and thought ok why not.
I'm AuDHD and like writing. I write short stories and YA adventure fiction stories, none published as of yet but it's the dream. I'm a fan of Doctor Who as well and have written my own Doctor Who stories. One day I would love to send them to BBC for the real deal but I don't think they are good enough, sadly. Maybe one day though. Anything is possible.
I've been looking for support for autism in Wales but there's none in my area. The closest is Cardiff but it's too far and busy to go to, and I can't drive anyway so it's not really applicable. I've considered starting my own autism support group but I'm still not one hundred percent sure of the idea as I get anxious and achy.
Hi Brooke. Welcome :-) Hope you really like it here.
That's very cool that you have written DW stories. Have you heard of Big Finish, who also make licensed Doctor Who stories for audio? Once a year they have an open submissions thing where you can send in a story outline and sample and if chosen it gets recorded and released for free so everyone can hear it. The most recent one is here https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-short-trips-the-hoxteth-time-capsule-2970
They started it in honour of someone who worked for them who sadly died young and suddenly. So it's a lovely memorial to him as well as a realistic chance for someone like yourself to get a story made for real.
No reason you shouldn't dream big about Bad Wolf/BBC making one of your stories, but I just thought I'd mention the above in case it appeals. No pressure to feel you should or anything, just some gentle encouragement and well wishes intended :-)
I stopped watching doctor who I got to word this politically correct they’ve spoilt doctor who, capaldi he should of got younger in terms of regeneration tennant is doctor who and will always be doctor who, I stopped watching its a mess. I wrote to Moffat and bbc Cardiff regularly ideas i better not say anyone more I stopped watching kind regards
I agree with Shardovan the specials from last year are well worth a watch. Seeing David Tennant and Catherine Tate again as the Doctor and Donna was amazing. It felt new and old at the same time and I got so much nostalgia, reminded me of when I first watched it in 2008 lol.
I thought the 60th Anniversary Specials were fabulous and I've watched them a lot of times over and now have the dvd as well. It's really good having RTD back in the writing chair again, and it shows to be honest. I thought both Peter Capaldi and Jodie Whittaker were amazing Doctors but had scripts that were beneath them, they deserved better and I'm sorry RTD wasn't writing for them.
I'm excited to see where he will take the 15th Doctor
Yeah Jodie was fab, the overall script quality less so. Still a few standout eps though. Rewatched Eve of the Daleks recently and it’s top drawer
