I recently created an expanded season look at Season 7 (Season 7: Expanded) that takes a look at the whole season that includes both TV and expanded media. First of all, should this be a recurring thing? Second, should it get its own category or just a set of tags? Third, should things set between seasons get their own thread and how best do we handle the Wilderness Years if this does become a recurring thing? Thanks in advance for any comments and replies.
Hey sorry for not replying - had my head down working on website content and features!
I think just create any threads you like, see what is popular and what sticks, and then worry about categorising everything later
I’m trying to promote the site in different places to get some more people to join in!
For what it’s worth, I love the idea of collecting all the media in one place for each season or era, and will happily visit and post in any threads dedicated to this concept. Hopefully there’s a list of said media - I know there are links to other sites people use, but the thought of having everything listed on TG in such a grouped fashion makes me smile.
Eyespider is a great resource for this sort of thing!
Yes, I have that one favourited, as it seems to be the best one, at least to me.
Absolutely. I don’t always agree with the order but it’s so meticulous — such a fantastic undertaking! And great at gathering all the stories from one era into the same place!
The main thing I really like about how it’s set up is that all the flashbacks are greyed out, so I can just skip over those in order to not spoil myself, instead going right to the vibrant colours indicating TV, audio, novel, etc.
I tend to bounce back and forth between Eyespider and the TARDIS Wiki timelines. The nice thing about the wiki timelines is that they tend to have more explanatory notes than Eyespider.
It’s awesome that we have so many different resources set up in varying ways. For me, the less information, the better. Just tell me these 2 novels, 5 audios, 3 comics, and 6 short stories happen during Season X, and I have all I need. If you feel like indicating which stories they fall between, that’s cool, too, but I don’t need any more than that.
