I have of course considered a Gallifrey guide, but I have also considered a Counter Measures guide, though I’m not sure what the interest in that one would be

Are we able to drop likes on those guides? If not, we really shoud! I read all your guides when I first found out about TG and they helped me a lot

Oh that’s brilliant to hear. Thanks. Back in the early days when it was just me and shauny, I used to spam him with stuff and I swear he was just humouring me.

One of the first things I did on the site was read your guides on stories in different time periods, so good.

Thank you! There are plenty more where they came from!

I would love more obscure guides. Like TV comics or Marvel cross overs.

Also perhaps a good question for @deltaandthebannermen - What’s the best way to format the guides? Is there a good template or something you’ve used in the past for submitting to Shauny?

Exactly! I’ve seen him in the covers of some non-Eight BF stuff and I just go ‘oh boy, where are you now???’

Been chatting with @LucyBA we are going try and do an 8th Doctor audio guide :blush:

I have just written them in a Google document and sent it to @shauny

I used to just send him a Word doc but now I can edit the site directly.

Shauny gets annoyed at me because I put two spaces after a full stop which messes with his formatting…

Here’s a question: should there only be one definitive guide to a subject (i.e. The Eighth Doctor) or are multiple guides on a subject allowed? And is it possible to update a guide as it inevitably becomes outdated?

I mean, what with the Gallifrey Relisten on Tumblr too, I feel like me and @sircarolyn could probably put together a gallifrey guide pretty easily…

And I am still on a mission to complete all of Romana’s stories, for which I have been compiling notes on tumblr which I could probably convert into a guide once I’m finished.

If anyone wants to collaborate on something Sixth Doctor Era related, I’m willing to be of service. I’m not sure what it would need a guide for, but :person_shrugging:.

There should only be my guides and everyone shall enjoy Doctor Who as I decree.

Seriously though, the playlist feature (one of those things shauny keeps ‘promising’… :wink: ) would be a version of this with different ‘guides’ being available to users.

Yeah, this will be a huge update!

I’m so tempted to do a “New to Doctor Who? Start Here!” guide, and then just link to the EDAs, starting with The Burning

Hi yes! I do plan to discuss with shauny and upload the Benny guide to the main website sometime soon. But I’m… crunching on my thesis right now and really won’t have time to concentrate on fandom stuff before the summer…
