How bad were the 9 audios with Briggs? Worth a listen if I pirate? Will the upcoming 10 and 11 audios be worse?

IIRC they weren't that bad, although Briggs' interpretation of 9 is what it is.

Thread theme: youtube.com/watch?v=wMykYSQaG_c

Ha, why'd you mark this post with your Sup Forums pass?

>Prologue: The Club of the Forgotten Ones
Fun smorgasbord of “forgotten ones”, obscure characters not well known outside places like /who/. Very glad to see dear Jenna Coleman’s Beryl here, as well as silly old Clive.

>DOCTOR WHO AND THE MILD IRRITATION OF THE SLITHEEN: A CANON STORY
As Slitheen-y a Slitheen story with 1 could be.

>Smith and Jones
I've already talked to McGanon about all the ways I enjoyed this one, but basically I like how its clearly written with love and in loving detail, I like the idea of a post-Time War Doctor companion meeting a pre-Time War Doctor and actually thinking on what that meant, and I thought the memory issue was handled well.

They are truly terrible. The stories themselves are just regularly mediocre, though they undermine a lot of what made 9's early stories work. But the performance is not a minor thing, it's astonishingly bad and to be honest I find it in extremely poor taste.

>How bad were the 9 audios with Briggs? Worth a listen if I pirate?
Pretty decent, I'd say go for it.
We don't know anything about the 10/11 audios.

>The stories themselves are just regularly mediocre, though they undermine a lot of what made 9's early stories work.
Retail Therapy is perfect in style for the RTD era.

>Ha, why'd you mark this post with your Sup Forums pass?
For visual effect

Take you long to get 'books' in the tripcode? I spent a while trying to get something more like "Cloister" but settled for the lazy "CLSTR" in the end.

Also, keen to read your thoughts on the stories as well when you post them.

damn i never noticed the clstr was meant to be cloister in your trip. i read it more as "cluster" and never got it. cloister makes more sense.

>Take you long to get 'books' in the tripcode?
Actually, not at all. Tripcode Explorer made it a quick and easy process.

Thanks Tripcode Explorer™!

B-but there's already a trip called Rob

I know, I just typed my name in. the code came out differently to what it said in tripexplorer though...

I want to drop the university to become full-time screenwriter. What do you think?

>I just typed my name in
MODS MODS DOX DOX
actually that makes me wonder what trips actual names are
trips around,, whats your name

It certainly isn't "Neo", I'll tell you that much.

I wouldn't make that decision hastily. For a field like screenwriting, networking is hugely important, and university is one of the best pathways to making important connections in that way (I'm assuming you're in university for something relating to screenwriting - if you're not, have you considered switching degrees/majors?). That's not even mentioning actual skill acquisitions, resources, advice, etc. Screenwriting is also a risky business to get into, even with good contacts. No matter what you do, I'd recommend having a back-up plan too. Preparedness and success are close friends!

Use this to test tripcodes in future rather than wasting a post on it: desktopthread.com/tripcode.php

If something's going wrong, check
- Was there a typo?
- Did you put the wrong number of hashes #?

Turns out it contained a japanese character, and so wouldn't work properly when copied :P

"Full-time" implies you're regularly getting paid, and you can't just magic that up in one go.

I wanted a Doctor Who/Blake's 7 crossover but not like this.

writing isn't like programming. like neo says, its a showbiz, it needs networking. college/uni is one of the best places to get that.

>Doctor Who and the Mild Irritation of the Slitheen

I wished this was longer and more elaborate, because the concept of it and the jokes were really enjoyable. My absolute favourite line of the whole thing came not from the (very funny) Slitheen characters, but from the Doctor when he responded to Susan saying there was something not right about them. The perfect gag for that situation.
Also in general, the dialogue style for the Doctor and Susan clearly had attention paid to making it feel like the TV stories. I'm always impressed when people capture the 'voice' of 60s Who characters, rather than trying to do a modernised version of them.

The top 3 alone wrote something longer than Shit Trips Vol. 1, that's kinda cool

I might add the author credits for Volume 1 to its wiki page as well, it could be fun to see what the stats were last year.

im pleased it spread out to be more of a community thing, loads of people writing very short fics, but also newcomers like neo writing tonnes. i still dont like the twitter author advertising thing in there (pretentious much) but for the most part it was a very successful team effort
i didnt write any myself cause im not wired that way, but enjoyed reading them
also i wasnt sure how to order the first couple on that list since the amount of pages vs amount of stories dont line up all the time. the top 3 are the same 3 people either way so i didnt think it mattered though.

The Hartnell "hmm?" that crops up sold it for me

Peter Ca-baldy

Shouldn't Iu be a little longer? Why is it just " le "

I feel like it was a shitpost submission that Immigrant included for quirky purposes. I don't know the truth behind it though.

>newcomers
Newcomer to Shit Trips sure, but I've been around /who/ (admittedly on-and-off rather than consistently) a lot longer than I've been tripping here. I have a lovely toy Dalek next to me I got from Cloister a few Christmases ago, an user or two would have one from me as well, I remember when S8 got leaked, I remember filling out the e-mail IP complaint thing when you-know-who's got found out, etc etc.

Pie graphs when?

I appreciate you didn't try and compress anyone's multi-part stories into just one stories to conflate anything. Most impressive effort user.

Oh the dreams of Terry Nation

Yeah I feel like I missed the joke on that story.

Is the /who/ wiki the only real satirical entity left in the world of Doctor Who?

>do an episode claiming england always had a huge minority population even in victorian era
>later do an episode where Evil Aliens take over by tricking earthlings that they were always there

Yeah, 23 pages.

your opinion isnt kino enough to be worth reposting in another thread. you already got (Yous) and responses to this exact post yesterday.

What's the story with the separate names? Guy/Rachael? Nice stories b t w, The Healer took me by particularly pleasant surprise.

It's Regency England not Victorian . Jane Austen era

Separate names? And thanks :)

Your trip not being your author name I mean!

Reminder that Sonja Bergstrom is a thing and you should all be horrified by her art

>still pretending you hate it when you keep bringing it up just to get lingerie six drawings posted

Really? All tumblrinas suck.

Questionable content aside, it's not that bad

I draw waaaay worse Doctor Who related things in my spare time

Oh that, well I wasn't using a trip when I submitted my first story The Davros Collective Black Archive and when I submitted the other three I asked Immigrant to just change the author's name to the match the first one: Rachael Riley.

>kino
I fucking hate this word and how overused it is.

Why didn't your first post in this thread as a trip show as a new IP? What previous post as user did you make?

It did though, it literally reads (16) right there. Maybe your extension fucked up.

Cool cool!

Hey Edge! How's life with the platonic roommate?

A few years back everything was "GOAT", now everything is "kino", these things move in cycles.

damn you must be right cause the first 3 posts in the thread dont have numbers either, then (4) does
ill clean my cache and shit

It did, refresh your page, maybe?

Just fine, kek

Glad it's platonic as usual!

We know that, you are a Tennantfag.

Dunno what that has to do with anything, unless you're implying that Tennantfags are more degenerate than usual

Neo it aint gonna happen

Why are you tripping here? In the archive it shows you started by doing weird roleplay answers to yourself when no one else talked to you. Then you were so new as to have a weird complex about calling the Sixth Doctor "Sixie". Now you keep complaining about some Tumblr porn and acting like you're an old hand with the other trips. You aren't contributing anything unique. Why are you using a trip?

Can we watch Dreamland in the stream sometime lads?

...

Whenever you want my dear sir.

>Oh the dreams of Terry Nation

Glad Chris Boucher crushed them.

They ain't, they just draw Tennant porn.

Come on now. You wouldn't have found it unless you were looking for it in the first place.

How come you didn't respond to ?

There is a surprising lack of drawn nsfw of him

>Good stuff, anyway.

with the exception of prism who is great

Why are you so fucking obsessed with a random tumblr? You've literally posted more about it than anything else.

I'm running away from all my problems.

Oh my word.

Take off your trip and no one will be able to confront you about them even if they wanted to, since they won't recognise you're the same person.

holy shit those are the biggest names in the Science Fiction Cat world. Birmingham is going to be the epicenter, the burning red hot nucleus of catdom when that show comes to town.

this makes it look like theyre actually the tumblr artist false flagging to get views desu


^those ones in particular. linking to multiple websites of the art for clicks

What a fucking mess. Edge, Guy with an Art Degree, and Lymerence don't spam links to their offsite art, and don't pretend to be random anons who've "come across" it.

FUCK EVERYTHING

We already missed the cat event of the century.

Scaroth reporting in.

5...

Views don't mean anything on Tumblr though. Only likes and reblogs.

>5...
You wot

Makes it all the more pathetic

>Smith and Jones, by McGanon

God this would have been such a better duo than 10 and Martha

I don't suppose there's any need for a Doctor anymore.

Could Taylor swift work as a companion?

I read the introduction and it was filled with typos, is the rest of the series any better?

Which story?

I got some stuff to take care of (doing a literal shitpost from a public toilet right now), but def. going to post thoughts about these later.

>1 story, 11 pages
All Bernard all the time, baby.

I haven't noticed many error-riddled entries, but you should expect some proofreading blips since it's not exactly professional quality.

Also, if anyone wants to ask RTD a question there's apparently a thing happening for his new book

Somebody redpill me on Blake's 7

> maximum of 600 questions

This sounds like trouble.

Avon was right.

What the fuck. And that's per entrant?

>You can ask 600 questions

Christ, I don't even think I can get past 20

Post obscure /who/ wiki pages

doctorwhogeneral.wikia.com/wiki/Crying_in_the_Cuck_Shed
doctorwhogeneral.wikia.com/wiki/Do_you_wanna_come_with_me?
doctorwhogeneral.wikia.com/wiki/The_Three_Families

There is one line I fucking despise more than anything else and I don't know why.

In Utopia when Yana is remembering all the Time Lord shit the Doctor and co. say, there's that repeated/echoing line where Jack says "REGENERATION... REGENERATION... REGENERATION" and it pisses me off so much. I don't even know why, but it just does. It's probably the obnoxious way he says it.

C'mon, that scene has Delgado kino

The scene itself is great, it's just that one line.

RE gen UR AYshun

"RegenerATION! RegenerATION!" On relistening I can see why that would get annoying

Thoughts on this season?

The aliens at the end of Series 2 were meant to be Daleks but the BBC basically said "fuck off"
