Proud Whovian

[puppetmaker]

Or whatever we are calling ourselves these days.

I have been a Doctor Who fan since I was a teenager so close to 30 years now if I am calculating correctly.

And after the end of this season, I am still glad to be a fan.

I am also glad that we have spin-offs of the original show to sustain us between seasons.

Recently many pockets of Doctor Who fandom have been down on RTD for various reasons most of which conflict with each other. (like More Rose vs. No More Rose factions).

Remember without RTD, we would still be telling our friends and children about this TV series that we grew up with and forcing them to watch Classic Who (which is not a bad thing in itself but still).

We have a whole new set of fans of the series and I welcome them to the fandom.

This year I have added another achievement to my list of things I have done in the realm of Who by having a short story published in a Big Finish anthology which makes me now a published Doctor Who author. Feels kind of funny to say still but I'm enjoying it.

I am grateful for all the wonderful things that have happened because I am a Whovian

I am very happy about the new Who. For whatever reason, though I begged, I was not allowed to watch original Who when I was a kid, so I was thrilled when a new one started and I could watch it! I really enjoy Torchwood and SJA, and even when there are things in particular episodes that make me go "What? This again?!" or "Nooooo!" I am still a big fan. :)
