Dear Flist (and the World at Large):

I know there are only about four Who people reading this, and only two? three? old schoolers, but I'm asking this anyway. Maybe someone is wandering by who can help me, or maybe I've missed a repository of knowledge. Either way:

I'm looking for recommendations for old school Doctor Who arcs. I'll swing any Doctor, any companion. Things I've seen already are City of Death, Hand of Fear, Mawdryn Undead, The Happiness Patrol, and The Five Doctors. I just finished Mawdryn Undead -- boys screaming like girls! People with exposed brains, clothed in matching party streamers! Spinny green background of doom! Turlough, didn't your mother ever tell you not to make deals with men with waterfowl attached to their heads? I think Terror of the Autons is on deck.

Recommendations don't necessarily have to be classics -- though I would adore knowing what the classics are -- just arcs that were thoroughly enjoyed.

Much love,
Cherry

I should add, I have a number of the ones reommended here that I can transfer to you whenever - I'm downloading the Key to Time saga right now. Actually, I'm downloading a crapload of things right now. Basically if it has SJ or either Romana in it, I am either downloading it or I have downloaded it. ;) So check with me. You're on the download comm, right?

See, you just keep making me love you more and more. I definitely want to see all of the Romana and SJ eps at some point -- it's just that I have to take them on slowly so that my HD doesn't go kaboom.

(I am on the ep comm, it's just the HD space thing again, and the fact that my connection seems to hate the download site. File Factory makes me tear my hair out. It took more than five hours to download BSG 2x18, and I have a cable connection.)

I can repay your kindness in fic, you know... Though, just so you know, the Mickey bunny is eating my brain, on top of the discordant Time War bit, and I blame you.

I shamelessly extort various arty things from you regularly, so I am more than happy to help out. And the download sites do suck quite a lot, but they're better than nothing. And certainly faster than the torrent I have going, blah.

And hey, I totally blame you for getting me into watching Who in the first place, so really, me encouraging you is entirely your own fault!

Also, check it out: Who books online. I can only find Eighth Doctor books in town so far, so this is kinda awesome.

Let's just call it a free and open exchange of ideas, goods, and products, shall we? *prods torrent*

*wins*

so really, me encouraging you is entirely your own fault!

But you're supposed to encourage the good ideas, hon. Not the ones that are on low-quality crack, and possibly hallucinogens. At this point, I should really just be writing something, shouldn't I?

Oooh, neat. I'm currently trying to figure out something about the audios. I could probably load them to my iPod, couldn't I?

Hee. I like that.

Anyways, all the Who ideas you've run past me are good, or at least are on high-grade crack. (Hon, this is a fandom with people who not only juggle geese but wear them as headwarmers, and you're worried your fic will be too crack-y? Come on. *g*)

And yeah, audios will go on iPods. I don't know how old or new yours is - mine's a couple years old and it has the "audiobook" section, but I don't know how to configure that particularly. But it exists! (I want the Sarah Jane audios. *pouts*)

Three words: Fragmented Time Lords.

I'm just saying. Time war and shards of Time Lords scattered about the universe. (You can't fight a war, because the war wins.) There are so many reasons it is not a good idea for me to write it.

And yeah, audios will go on iPods. I don't know how old or new yours is - mine's a couple years old and it has the "audiobook" section, but I don't know how to configure that particularly. But it exists! (I want the Sarah Jane audios. *pouts*)

I have a mini, so. I think there's probably a way? I'm just not sure what it is, or if there's a way to save your place. I've never actually listened to any sort of book on tape before. If I figure it out, I will let you know. *G*
