They definitely had other competitions, even my Dad submitted some wayy back.
And that sounds so cool! Kinda reminds me of Voyager 19!

Thanks!

I haven’t seen any info about the 2025 Short Trip contest even after scouring the website. Where are y’all finding it? I wouldn’t enter this year (I don’t know if Americans are allowed to submit), but I’m curious about it for future years.

It’s due next month, it starts in May! It’s just a preemptive thread.

Just gonna put this out there: I know there’s a lot of insecurity regarding one’s own writing talent, but just remember that RTD’s first official Doctor Who Story (from his perspective) is Mind of The Hodiac.
And now he’s the showrunner so yk.. (I’d rather read/hear all y’all’s ideas than relisten to that abomination)

Since I haven’t been a fan that long, I haven’t entered it before. And it’s pretty much only in the past couple of months I started writing regularly too. I may write something this year, but to be honest it’s pretty unlikely. My brain just doesn’t respond well to pressure or deadlines of any kind right now, I wouldn’t want writing (one of the best outlets for emotions for me currently) to cause me more stress.

I entered it last year! With a story about Romana, naturally. I might do it again this year if I have time. It was quite fun writing to a deadline and with a specification, I found it easier to stay focused than when writing for fun.

That’s such an incredibly selfish and self-centred way of looking at it. Wow.

Okay? Last time I checked, I don’t have to listen to an audio if I don’t want to.

Nobody is saying you do, but not listening purely on the grounds of your ego being hurt is bizarre to me.

Okay, great. And are you supposed to be changing my mind? My gosh, I can have whatever rationale I want for not listening to something.

I lost last year, didn’t immediately want to listen to War Stories. But I did listen a few months back in a constructive way (for me).
It’s not selfish to not want to listen imo. Nor is it ego. I think it’s just human.

I haven’t entered before, but I think I’ll give it a try this year. I’ve been jotting down notes for things I could write about.

Are the submission guidelines up somewhere?
I am not pitching anything, but it could be interesting to see what they say

I’ve barely touched classic who so I try to avoid entering ones that have only have them. Each year is different with their own set of rules and doctors that you can use so hopefully there’s some where you can enter.
I also submitted the day before the deadline but I thought it was the last day of submissions. I was just glad I got it done. Looking back on it it definitely doesn’t fit the word count but it’s a fun idea and I kind of want to fully write some of it in the future.
