Then why is Tennant there?

>using the wrong title format
>not including "edition" in the text

fuck yourself

Chris/Kris GOLDEN AGE

R.I.P.

I was very struck by when 12 was regurgitating previous regeneration lines, and the fact he did BOTH of Tennant's ("I don't want to go", "It's started, I'm regenerating") was really neat.

>/who/ presents:
DOCTOR WHO: SHIT TRIPS Vol. 2
- The Anthology -

>Are you a true fan of Doctor Who?
>Have you ever written down a sequence of words?

If the answer is yes or no, then you are ready to contribute a literary masterpiece to the second /who/ collection of original Doctor Who-based short fiction.

/who/ did it once. Now, we're gonna do it again! Yet another entry in an age-old tradition of p̶a̶c̶k̶a̶g̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶f̶a̶n̶f̶i̶c̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶g̶e̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶g̶i̶v̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶a̶i̶r̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶l̶e̶g̶i̶t̶i̶m̶a̶c̶y̶ / celebrating the magic of Who and the talent of a community.

There are no limits (except the story must be at least 1 word long, and preferably not in excess of 10,000, it's short fiction you fuck).

>- Can involve any Doctor(s), companion(s), side characters, spinoff characters and beyond, as your heart desires
>- Can be in any style, whether it's "legitimate writing", "pisstake", or "shitpost".
>- Can be about absolutely anything
>- The main focus is on good fun in the vein of the wiki, although serious entries are allowed. (If you're going to write smut, maybe approach it with a degree of levity)

Stuck for ideas? Try starting with your favourite TARDIS team (or for timeliness, 12/Bill “I'm a lesbian” Potts) and one of these authentic titles:
saberpunk.net/DoctorWho/DoctorWhoSerialGenerator.php
glyphobet.net/drwho
And free scenario prompts:
games.usvsth3m.com/drwho/

We are going to be starting an index on the wiki for the collection. Anyone can contribute, no signups/pitches required. If you have ideas, feel free to broadcast them.
The rest is self-explanatory. Format for uploading your work is up to you, as long as it can be conveniently copied across (and ideally don't spam long texts in /who/ directly). (Pastebin works well.)

BONUS: Anyone who wants to do cover art or "illustrations" is encouraged.

Series 11 will be about Silurians and muh giant Dinosaurs.

>post ended on 14
Clearly a fact.

>ywn hear it again "Don't forget to subscribe to the official Doctor Who YouTube channel."

He also said when the doctor was me

50th anniversary

I read it in his voice :)

Seems Douglas Mackinnon is going to carry on directing

>yfw you realise the line was always "Don't forget to click below to subscribe to the official Doctor Who YouTube channel"

Yup, and the Sontaran line was 4 immediately post Pertwee regen, and (this one might be a bit of a stretch) the "No, no, no, no, no, no!" is also what 2 said when he regenerated at the end of the War Games

WHO?

strawpoll.me/13434305/
strawpoll.me/13434305/
strawpoll.me/13434305/

Series 11 will be about Sontarans perverting the course of human history.

Matt Smith is trending on Twitter. Peter Capaldi isn't. Capaldi suicide when?

Solid if unremarkable director.

13th Doctor being announced Sunday.

WE

I will always remember when the Doctor was we

ahaha well memed

WUZ

what are rumors for new doctor so i can be hype and disappointed its not michelle gomez

Girls, the Thirteenth Doctor is being announced on Sunday!

BIG FINISH N SHIT

kek

keep going

Guys, Moffat's leaving after the Christmas special!

It's almost an absolute certainty that it'll be a woman.

Jodie Whittaker is the strongest female contender right now.

I will always remember when the showrunner was Moff

>tfw know who it is

won't spoil but it's not a female

good to know it isn't ya mum then

No it isn't. The 14th Doctor probably will be if 13 isn't though.

The Mirror are now reporting that 13 will be announced on September 4th. Get hype.

Jodie a cute!

youtube.com/watch?v=r5LbkhheXvw

Just tell us. It's 2 days away.

DOCTORS ARE NOT REQUIRED ON SUNDAY

Not it really isn't. Do you honestly believe the BBC are going to risk their already failing franchise by casting a woman? which would cause the biggest divide in the fandom in history, no they will not.

>Only 1 more Capaldi ep left
Even though I've found the 12th Doctor to be kind of inconsistent character wise, I'm sad that he's going, he's a fucking great actor.


And nothing against the bloke but I really hope it isn't Kris Marshall.You either need a renowned actor who can fucking ace it (Eccleston, Capaldi) or a relatively unknown/non-household name actor who can totally inhabit the role (Tennant, Smith). Marshall is well known enough that he'd be distracting.

nice prediction you have like an 88% chance of being right

tom rosenthal

>tfw actually know who it is

wont spoil but it's not a male

Is it future?
Or is it past?

So am I the only person here who loved Tennant and Capaldi equally? I think they are best Doctors at equal level.

ENOUGH. Mackinnon has literally never created visual kino in his life. The closest he ever came was Listen and that's because most of the script took place in dark rooms, and he still ruined it with his bastard neon lighting. Flatline only avoided looking like utter gash because most of it was done in post-processing.
I still remember the fucking multiple primary colour filters over the one corridor in Time Heist. Kill me.

>Inconsistent

That's called actual character development user. Something 10 and 11 didn't have.

Tennant as 10 or Tennant as Meta-10?

i'll always love smith. eleventh hour is a fucking masterpiece, one of the reason why i fucking love moffat too

also i fucking love capaldi

It's not really development if he goes back and forth and eventually nowhere, it's just inconsistent

Wow, I didn't know Steven Spielberg was on /who/!

Stop forcing this fucking meme

Back and forth?

S8 beginning - Am I a good man? Wrestling with who he is. Irritable, cranky, unsure of himself.
S8 ending - I am an idiot. Found his identity, more carefree, more compassionate.

S9 beginning - Again, I am an idiot. Guitar, playful antics, carefree. Clara acting the same way leads them to bounce off each other co-dependently and make each other more and more reckless, leading to...
S9 ending - realising he went too far, and dialling things back down. Less playful, more self-assured.

S10 beginning - Settled down, still wants to adventure but is being dutiful, guarding the Vault and whatnot.
S10 ending - After giving in and having some (fairly careful) adventures (again, building off the tempering his personality aspect the last 2 series did), his duty is paid off in Missy turning good - but he doesn't see it, and everything seems to go to shit for him again, and he starts to regenerate. He's angry at his life going down the same road so many times, so he tries to refuse to do so, leading to a christmas special where he presumably comes to terms with that, alongside 1 going through presumably a vaguely similar crisis.

REVISITING THE OLD FAVOURITES

>suporting cast members are black
>their aren't featured at the bottom of the side bar as usual

Great job Briggs, you fucking racist

>and disappointed its not michelle gomez
Next best thing

Where did he go back to though? Grump 12 transformed into thrill seeker 12 in in series 9, thrill seeker 12 then matured into a solid version of series 8 and 9 Capaldi in series 10.People are not consistent in real life, so it's refreshing to see it here with 12.

>The THICC meme was fun, had a few good laughs with it
Yep, you're definitely the second worst trip

Spielberg can piss off too. The BFG was utterly inept filmmaking that somehow couldn't surpass the cheapo Cosgrove Hall animation from fucking 1989! (although the script was the biggest issue there)

rofl come back on sunday and tell me it's a meme user

>canonically 10 only lived about 3 years and wasted a regeneration
What a tard.

ok

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

ok you guys, serious question time:

who would actually drop the show if it was a female doctor?

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

nobody.

Depends on who is the female, how she acts and how it's written. However I think it's possible I do leave.

didn't ask me, did you, cunt?

i dropped the show a long time ago lol

Reminder that Eccleston has said that he would come back to Doctor Who if Joe Ahearne was directing again.

im going to watch if the new doctor is a a woman but I actually don't expect it to make a big difference to the show.

There might be few scenes where fem doc has to stand up a sexist strawman and all the kiddies can cheer on but DW has always had bits like that like. Pandering to kids, I hate kids, fuck their role-models.

Good post

The new doctor is going to be a strong black female. Every episode will be about having tolerance for Muslims. The villain in each episode will be an evil white male who will be forced to check his privilege

BBC: Look, we know Wimbledon's shit, but please could you watch the Wimbledon final? Our ratings are down too, and we've decided to announce the new Doctor Who LIVE ON CENTRE COURT ON SUNDAY.

For more than 50 years the Doctor has represented an alternative, kinder, less destructive form of masculinity, and that's good. But it's still falling short of the final step towards a truly humanistic vision - the empathic suggestion that the outward body maketh not the personality. When the Doctor is demonstrated as able to maintain his essence regardless of gender, he will have reached the next stage in his evolution.

what an original concept for a post

kek keep telling you that cunt

>Jodie Whittaker
yeah, ending the season one way and starting another way because Moffatt said 'we want the doctor to be lighter this series" is certainly planned character development

If it was, i'll probably watch the first episode out of curiosity and then drop it.

Depends who it is and how well they act.
If it's Sue Perkins I'll fucking drop it though.

I don't think many will, and people will still watch if it's Kris Marshall too. Doctor Who has got to be the show that hardcore fans say they're going to stop watching but hardly ever do

Holy shit it might be real

There are so many Doctors and so few seasons for most Doctors that proper character development is pointless. I'd rather Capaldi had just been given a sarcastic outwardly-aloof Doctor with a heart of gold from day one.

I would desu

NO CUZ HE WON T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN HIS ESSENCE REGARDLESS OF HIS :
- RELIGION
- SEXUALITY
- SPECIES
- ALIVE OR DEAD
- ABLE / DISABLED
...

You're just looking for any excuse to post more and more distorted versions of that image, aren't you?

Anything have a download for Terrance Dicks Making of Doctor Who book?

Me, but would probably come back when 14 is announced.

I'd watch the first episode and go from there, but I'd probably drop it after that.

Thanks. It just all seems pretty clear to me that he goes through pretty cohesive character development
S8 - anguished, prickly, unsure
s9 - carefree, kind, arrogant
s10 - tempered, kind, careful
s10 finale - despairing, kind, suicidal

Angry to carefree to responsible to suicidal.

It's Doctor Who, showrunners should try new things, not just do the same old because fans think "it's pointless". You've already had plenty of static Doctors, don't begrudge that we got a dynamic one for once.

But 14th will be a woman.

And so on until we'll have had 13 Male Doctors and 13 female doctor

You sexist monster ! Check your privileges ! Check your oppression !

Source?

Yes, we can all fill the gaps in the character to make the personality changes make sense

Not many people honestly. Unless Moffatt was writing her

imagine sitting next to him and then looking to your left and realizing who it was

>tfw he's finished filming and after Comic Con and some promotion for Christmas later it will literally be ALL OVER FOREVER for him

Indeed I am.

I met him in a pub in Glasgow before any of this Thick of It & Dr Who success

Nice guy.

I think there'll be two women in a row, IF the first is successful, people will complain if they have a woman then go straight back to a man.

JUST

What might be real?
