Some carry-over discussion:
Do the Daleks retain any mystique? An user isn't feeling the McGann audios as much as others, what's the consensus on the early monthlies? Are the only great Dalek audio stories the stories that don't feel like "Dalek stories?"

I'm not a fan of the main range Eight stuff either, the Dark Eyes stuff is fantastic though.

As a fanfic writer, I have to say Dalek stories are my least favorite to write. The Daleks are an enemy that don't deliberate, don't argue, and should really kill the Doctor immediately when they meet him.
They're so direct, that they're hard to write interestingly if you do a normal "Dalek" story.

8 has such a diverse set of ranges that people have a lot of differing rankings. Me personally, my enjoyment of his main stuff (so not including Mary Shelley or Shada or his CDNM story and stuff like that) goes
8s Monthlies>Dark Eyes 1-4>EDAs S4>Doom Coalition 3&4>rest of the EDAs>Doom Coalition 1&2
Xavier Diaz
>Doom Coalition 1&2
Why did it have to be so shit ;_;

When do 8's monthlies get really good, in your opinion.
Jayden Reed
Out of those two sets I only remember The Red Lady.

Someone please help Briggs understand this
I know :( "The Eleven" was a good start, but then...jeez. Helen is such a failure of a companion.
Scherzo and The Natural History of Fear are my favourites. You need to listen to Neverland and Zagreus to understand them though.
I loved Seasons of Fear and The Chimes of Midnight.
The Divergent Arc has some other fun stuff like The Next Life (pure Gary Russell lunacy), Caerdroia, etc.
Terror Firma was really good.
In general I just liked the more experimental vibe of the monthlies, and Charley/8's relationship, compared to the much more standard storytelling his other ranges traditionally get.
