A wheeze or not a wheeze ?

  • Nov. 9th, 2009 at 5:20 AM
First time poster, full time lurker and coming out of my little corner of the universe to seek an end to a debate. " Planet of the Spiders" , last episode when the Doctor arrives back on Earth just before he regenerates. When he opens the tardis door i swear he says ," back on earth "  under his breath, but a someone else insists that he just wheezes. Is it a wheeze or a wheezy " back on earth " ?

The rewatch continues with the last Patrick Troughton story, the last Black and White story and the first to feature the timelords. It achieved the rating of 82.18%, placing it at number 29. This story is noteable for being one of the biggest gainers from the previous DWM poll (the 5th highest overall and the highest in our rewatch) gaining 5.87 points and almost completely swapping positions with Logopolis.

But what do you think? Please post your reviews, comments and thoughts here. All are welcome

Sorry for the lateness of this post, I have been away and ill since ?Friday.

Next week will be Spearhead From Space.

Reference in Mr. Bean

  • Nov. 8th, 2009 at 11:20 PM
I'm quite a lurker here, and I guess this is my first post.

Anyway, I've been watching Mr. Bean episodes lately. In the Christmas episode Mr. Bean is playing with some figurines (including sheep and cows). But there's also one particular figurine that has something to do with Doctor Who.

I wonder what this is... )

Day Four: Map It Out

  • Nov. 8th, 2009 at 3:00 PM
 The card from The Observation Deck that inspired this puts it under a different title: "Think Architecturally," but IMO that term doesn't work quite as well for those of us who deal in Fantasy.

The idea is not so much to create a physical map for your world, but rather a mental one.  The map for Lord of the Rings is, quite literally in this situation, the map of Middle-earth: not because there's a map that you can follow along with the characters, so much as because by reading the story you become fully immersed in the world itself, and all it has to offer: havens, alternating with terrifying danger.  The words reinforce the setting: the Mordor chapters become as positively oppressive as the land itself.  So the reader does not so much travel through a word-house as an entire landscape.

This was also what I found when I tried to apply the "think architecturally" card to KatM.  It was a sort of minitrek across a Shire landscape.  You walk along your road (or lack of road); sometimes you pass a smial or a town and someone invites you in to tea, so you stay there for a little while, but eventually you must go and the road suddenly gets tougher and tougher...  Eventually you find yourself wintering in a place with only the barest of shelter, and you must hold out and press through till spring.

But the point is (and this is something I need to do more) that if you start to think about your writing in spatial terms, you can let the chapter structure and the words themselves reinforce the idea you want to convey.  I'm hoping to apply this to my current writing project, which is so intentionally chaotic I'm thinking of either having no chapters (the bugger currently stands at 30,000 words) or having a chapter for each individual scene, even if it's only a sentence long.

So, look at something you've already written, and try to think about what kind of a place it is.  Is it a journey you must hurry along, or a nice cozy little cottage you're invited to stay in for a time?  What kind of location creates the feelings you want your readers to have?

The Master watches from the sidelines, rubbing idly at the blood on his hands.
