>/who/ presents:
DOCTOR WHO: SHIT TRIPS Vol. 2.5
- 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 third /who/ collection of original Doctor Who-based short fiction, because following the success of Shit Trips 1 and 2, /who/ has started another anthology of wondrous tales. God help us.

This time, the rules will be a tad different, as in we actually have rules now. The stories must be about:

> alternate Doctors (original Doctors, fanmade Doctors, Unbound Doctors, Doctors of wild divergence from canon)

> spinoff characters from audios, books, comics, etc (Torchwood, Erimem, Faction Paradox, Vienna, Sarah Jane Adventures, Iris Wildthyme, etc)

>companion focused stories (stories with the companion facing a threat, or dealing with life, WITHOUT the Doctor)

Besides that, no limits (and your story can be in more than one category above).

>Can still be in any style, whether it's "legitimate writing", "pisstake", or "shitpost".

>the story must be at least 1 word long, and preferably not in excess of 10,000, it's short fiction you fuck

Anyone can contribute, no signups/pitches required. If you have ideas, feel free to broadcast them.

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 or google drive works well.) And remember to mention, preferably in your work post, what you want your author moniker to be, which doesn't have to be your real name.

Remember, it doesn’t matter if it’s shit, just have fun! Deadline is April 2nd

Good night, sweet prince. Walk amongst us nevermore.

Vale Aurum ;~;7

Time and the Rani is objectively a 6.5/10

do we have any actual reason to believe the new logo will be shown to the public this week?

My honest opinion on Time and the Rani is youtube.com/watch?v=YgHNtzxO0y8

I actually agree with that somewhat.

...

the BBC showcase normally reveals all the branding shit. In Doctor Who, that means the logo for sure. Also Ed Russel used to be in charge of all that stuff, and he said if he was gonna reveal the logo, the BBC showcase is when he'd do it. I wouldnt believe Ed on everything, but this is actually his job so I dont think theres a reason to disbelieve him either

So what really caused interest in NuWho to wane? The breaks? Casting Peter Capaldi? Boredom?
Discounting things such as "The WritingTM"

...

Slower and less action packed stories.

oogleh doctor
controversial companion
piss poor marketing

Endless waiting around for series didn't help

le reddite meme face

The breaks mostly, but the polarising season 8 probably didn't help either.

>I'll definitely get this annoying new tripfag to go away by supplying him with constant attention!

nth for Jodie.

It takes him less than 30 seconds to respond to my posts, his dedication is pretty cute

youtube.com/watch?v=YgHNtzxO0y8

Fuck You!

>obsessed with a girl from a fan film
>had amental breakdown because he was getting bullied by fucking Judy
>has to take off his trip and samefag because he knows that nobody will defend him besides the tripfags
Is Lymerence the most pathetic trip on /who/

her wonder is false

No one responded last time, why would you repost

Nah. He's the 5th most pathetic.

It's called "acting", champ

yeah because doctor who is a fictional character

Series 7 was really fucking bad, especially 7a. The 50th Anniversary and Time of the Doctor might've saved it, but Series 8 just wasn't that exciting after those 2 specials. Add in the year long gap after Series 9, the stupid looking superhero in NYC christmas special before Series 10, and then just shitty marketing for series 10 in general, and people kinda lost interest. I think with Chibnall and Jodie they might be able to recapture the spark that was there with Series 5-6, but who knows.

I don't think Peter being an older Doctor was the leading cause. People hated Smith before Series 5 since he was replacing Tennant, too young, and looked like a fucking foot, but he won over 99% of the audience by the end of The Eleventh Hour. Capaldi running around like a retard in Victorian London in his first episode was just starting off on the wrong foot. Introducing a new character with them acting out of character for 75 minutes is just stupid.

The agenda pushing was just way too obvious
The breaks were killers, just fucking lazy
People still sore about female Doctor (because even before it was announced, a lot of people felt it was headed that way)

>muh agenda pushing

if you say so.

Who was the memest Doctor ?
I would say Peter Dab-inson

...

logo WHEN

t. 2odastream

You're damn right.

>Introducing a new character with them acting out of character for 75 minutes
But he's in character by the time he mugs the homeless man for his coat, which is far sooner than that.

Jack was fun and silly and so it was palatable. The stuff lately is just judgemental and depressing. You can't say that Jack being a crazy guy that'll smiling and fucks anything is the same as the newer stuff. Nothing about Bill being gay or any of the "messages" felt like they wanted to inspire you so much as shame you.

Clearly Sylvester MemeCoy

This really frizzles my curly's
> leggo's are cool!

Capaldi

YOU
JUST
KNOW

It took him too long to find his interpretation, or at least to sell it. Yeah, he was kinda in character at the end, but he wasn't memorable. 10 and 11 pretty much had you sold on who they were by the end of the first episode, and they stood out. Capaldi's doctor felt muddy for a long time.

It does make the episode a lot better on a rewatch though.

>The nu-tranny doctor will be a load of hogwash. Regardless of how good the actress is it's just simple tokenism having a woman play a man.

>Every time I see her/it as the doctor I become depressed and sad that something as iconic as this show has been ruined by drug addicted manginas. I can't even look at the original series anymore or even the past nuwho without thinking that HE is actually a SHE. I loved this show for 30years and now I can't watch ANY of it anymore. This show used to make me feel alive and excited about science and history, about space and adventure, something that was so enjoyable that I would share it with my friends and family. It's all over, I can't even bring myself to watch anything to do with it this year because of the transgenderness of it all. No amout of shilling by the tripcodes on this site will change how I feel. It's such a shame that people are rejoicing about making me miserable and calling me names because of it. Nasty and unnecessary all because I have not been brainwashed by politics. It's not fair that the makes of "entertainment" are so thrilled at destroying something that was a little piece of happiness in my world. This show will never be the same and I will never be the same.

I'm still amazed this never became copypasta

Political correctness
Fewer epic scope stories.
Lack of characters dying
Clunky writing.

Despite it being good pasta, I think it actually hit's home for too many people who do feel let down by it.

>mfw The Writing-posters always flock to whenever someone asks "why did NuWho wane in popularity" because they think their idiotic catalogue of complaints applies to the entire populace

>Political correctness
you know fully well that's not the reason, no-one gives a fuck

She looks like that little girl with down syndrome running that used to be in memes

8 in Heaven Sent, how do you feel? And what doctor do you feel could also pull this episode off?

But it's so amazingly over-the-top.

It's like a parody, except it's legit.

Unironically all the nuWho Doctors and 6, that's it.

1 would be interesting but I can't see what he'd hold out that long for other than Susan? 2 through 4 are similar, but I can sort of see 5/8/9/10/11 doing it. 7's a real wildcard.

Clunky what?

Some obscure spoilers of RTD's Rose novelisation. Quote from gb:

"Oh my god Jenny Colgan just mentioned that RTD’s novelization of Rose includes references to subsequent Doctors, including post-Whitaker Doctors, one of whom is a black woman and I didn’t quite catch the next thing she said but I think it was a non-binary child?"

Nice bait.

I thought Russell hated the idea of a female Doctor?

>ywn get capaldi but with good writing

Not disagreeing. Just saying I think people start reading it and before laughing get pissed at the gender swap so the pasta never has the full effect.

Oh boy, can't wait for someone to take a pic of that page and see it get spammed for eternity

Someone tell Hoodie quick. His meltdown will be hilarious.

I mean just compare the trailers for Series 5/6 and Series 8:
youtube.com/watch?v=UnPUF8an-XE
youtube.com/watch?v=9vIsQ25Krq8
youtube.com/watch?v=TivqZTq5u6Y

The first 2 are great, they show you all the variety the show offers and are generally just super exciting trailers. Series 8's trailer on the other hand is just vague and generic. Series 9's trailer also had the line "I'm the Doctor. And I save people." as it's climax which is just so flaccid it undermines everything before that line.

NON CANON

Oh boy.

So what? They are as canon as The Curator or better yet Merlyn

But Edge, it's "inclusive"!

I love the idea of a female doctor but a non-binary is just taking it too far for me.

I for one, CANNOT SEE: 1, 2, 5, 6, war, 9, or 10 being able to do it with the same passion that the doctors i have not listed have.

>post yfw Jodie bombs hard and we never, ever get a non male Doctor again

kino

Target books have always been non-canon, so no worries.

how would that even make sense in a Rose novelization?

> oh my

I love 3 but let's be honest, he'd find a shortcut

They definitely lost all concept of how to sell the show at some point. They didn't know or understand what audience they were even trying to target, let alone how to get people interested in what the show was actually doing.
"Born to save the universe"? I mean what the fuck does that have to do with anything in Series 9?

Oh no no no, 451. You've tainted enough things with your photoshop atrocities, but you do NOT touch the face of Capaldi.

>he wasn't memorable
>that diner scene
>that scene where he leaves clara
>that broom speech
>that ending where he stares into the camera
>implying

Far more memorable than Tennant literally sleeping the entire episode.

...

>non-binary

So like 10 and 11? Nothing new on this side

Fuck I miss him now.

#SaveJudy

Result!

Could they have chosen a worse actress?

Daily reminder that 10 has most likely taken Jack's dick in the ass at least once

if paul gets back into the role, how long would he stay? What type of media would it be? (mini-sode, ads, full series, etc) and lastly, do you want him back?

Olivia Colman or Tilda Swinton
