Welcome to this edition of Gallifrey Times!

Editor's Note: After yesterday's mammoth entry I thought I ought to update a bit more regularly. We'll see how it goes, eh? I am still buggering about with categorisation a bit - new clips from the show are bothering me today. Do they go in news, or podcasts and audiovisual? Comments welcome, as always.

DOCTOR WHO

- Discussion, Reactions, Reviews and News -

TV Guide has an Jenna-Louise Coleman interview where she talks about Clara/TARDIS
Stephadoo has some thoughts on the rumours surrounding the classic Doctors in the 50th continued here and here and here (why can't tumblr have a sane comment structure?).
Den of Geek review The Krotons soundtrack and share lots of Cold War promo clips
nostalgia has a plaintive plea for Elementary/Who crossovers
The BBC Doctor Who blog on the return of The Ice Warriors

Crack theories about Clara: I'm not linking to all of them, but I liked kelsey716's she's JackBoe's mpreg baby and thought clarayowzin's she's an extension of Bad Wolf was the crackiest.

Welcome to this week's Gallifrey Times!

Editor's Note: So I thought this week I would try the weekly format and see how long it takes me... Suspect we'll be going back to interim editions next week. This is winding up WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too long for one day's entry. Reading List was up to 850 posts, and not all of those need to be linked, but even so... If I've made typos, do feel free to report them, but it might take me a while to get round to fixing them.

Hi! Most of you have probably seen me bimbling about Who fandom; for those who haven't, my name is Jennie, my favourite Doctor is Six, and I am going to be shouldering most of evilawyer's burden in compiling GT as of tomorrow. E mentioned in her earlier post that I am planning on making a couple of changes - I want to reassure people about a couple of things that I definitely do not want to change.

Firstly, I do not want to tread on Who Daily's toes. I am a WD ed as well, and I think WD does a fabulous job on LJ, and I read the WD feed on a regualr basis. That said, I would like to see maybe closer ties between GT and WD - the two could, in my view, happily work in synergy, and I have been talking to the other WD eds about how this might happen without either of us trespassing on the other's territory or crimping each other's distinctive identity.

Secondly, I don't want to be spammy and overlong, (and I'm aware that this post is already heading towards that... ;)) With that in mind I would like to reduce the number of categories in GT, mainly to just cut down on the content to heading ratio.

The really major change I would like to make is to start tracking/linking to content from individual journals without them having to promote the content in a comm. DW comms tend not to be hugely active in comparison to personal journals, and this is in somewhat of a contrast to LJ (from what I recall of the LJ ecosystem). However, I AM aware that this is a big change and so I am including a poll. The poll also asks about some other stuff. I hope you'll take the time to answer it.


Thanks for reading/answering, and I'll see you for my first regular post tomorrow :) If you have any questions/suggestions, feel free to leave a comment :)
