I've almost finished the entries that I put my name down for - I'm just tweaking the final few and hope to get them to Siskoid at the end of the week.
After that I'll put myself forward to cover The Rosemariners - but if anybody else is doing this one or wants to, shout now! I'm also looking through the handful of short-story anthologies that I have for any additional ideas - George Washington is the only one I've come up with so far.
Actually, it would be helpful if we can have an update to the list in the opening post, to see what else is still up for grabs.

Mmm... Except for the stuff you've sent me in that second batch, the list is up to date.

Mr Harry, feel free to take whatever you want. I think that I'll do the ones that I'm down for and then if I can get through those and there are still a few that haven't been touched I can look at helping add a few more. Just finished my last Troughton audio yesterday so I am now up to date on everything other than some of the short stories which will have to wait for some other day.

Dastari, are you covering either Downtime or World Game ? I know you expressed interest in the latter but that's when you were hoping to cover Season 6B which I'd already written up.
As for audios, I prefer the sci-fi settings to the historical ones so unless anybody objects, I'll pick up Fear of the Daleks, Echoes of Grey and The Three Companions for now.
I've also got the unabridged audiobook of Wheel of Ice so could cover that one too - though as it's 10 hours long, it'll probably keep me busy for some time!

A few more entries added. I hope to do a lot more work before the end of the month, but I was called back to work this week on varied emergencies.

Is there a Gadget that comes before the Arimathea Artefact? I'm just starting to work on Wheel of Ice and I think there's gadget which will come before the Arimathea Artefact: the Allohistorical Lure. I thought I'd give you a heads up, but let me get further into the book to check whether it's suitable for a write-up of its own.

Ok, I probably won't touch the Gadget section for a while, given its lay-out challenges.

Thinking about World Game, I know that the villains of the piece, the Players, will probably get their own write-up either in the 6th Doctor or 8th Doctor volumes because of their appearances in other novels. But they're currently referred to in my drafts for both the Duke of Wellington and Serena. So it might seem odd if they have no entry of their own whatsoever in this volume. How about an entry on one of the specific Players? The Countess reappears in Endgame, so she should probably be reserved for the 8th Doctor. But there's also Valmont from World Game and/or the Count from the 2nd Doctor flashback sequence in Players. What do you think?

That's a pretty good compromise, I think.

I've added the time line and adventure seeds sections. Those who have read or listened to some of the harder to place stories may be want me to tweak story placement based on details they remember. Let me know.

Let me know. A couple of suggestions around story placements: The Great Space Elevator should be after The Web of Fear (possibly before The Emperor of Eternity). The Jigsaw War should be after The Krotons (possibly between The Memory Cheats and The Uncertainty Principle). I'd also suggest splitting the TV Comic stories into two groups: Up to Operation Wurlitzer: set after World Game, as the Doctor starts off travelling with John and Gillian, but meets up with Jamie again during the course of the stories. Action in Exile onwards: after The Nameless City, as Jamie has gone and the Doctor is exiled on Earth leading into his regeneration.

I'm now working on Zoe's first two Companion Chronicles, Fear of the Daleks and Echoes of Grey. Unless anyone else has already nabbed them, I'd like to continue with the others in her linking narrative, The Memory Cheats and The Uncertainty Principle, as I may be able to include a write-up for the older Zoe and her background story from the framing narration of these.

Thought I'd better mention here that I'm covering Heart of TARDIS unless anyone else is already doing so. The entries I'm writing are:
The Jarakabeth Location - Lychburg (with a sidebar item about Multi-Doctor stories) Gadget - The Arimathea Artefact
I'll leave the Collectors for the 4th Doctor volume.

Arright! Let's look at what's left! I've updated the top list and tonight's update will include a few more things from MisterHarry (and possibly some of my own). I'm angling for a late September release at this point, so getting most of the texts and images by mid-Sept is the plan.
MisterHarry - the "Machine" as I call him - has submitted everything he planned to submit (which is loads), but is still game to write more. So let's do a round of "story reservations". In this exercise you may divest yourself of a story you already had on hold for yourself if you think you can't manage it.
ALREADY RESERVED BY DASTARI The Menagerie Invasion of the Cat-People Twilight of the Gods The Dark Path The Roundheads Dreams of Empire The Great Space Elevator The Forbidden Time
ALREADY RESERVED BY SISKOID Foreign Devils Prisoners in Time (comic) Omitted but not Forgotten
COMPLETELY OPEN Dying in the Sun The Colony of Lies The Indestructible Man Helicon Prime Resistance The Glorious Revolution The Emperor of Eternity Tales from the Vault The Jigsaw War Shadow of Death And we're open to ideas from short stories and comics not mentioned here
So off the bat, I'm game to take on Helicon Prime, Resistance, Tales from the Vault and The Jigsaw War, unless someone has a deep affection for any of these stories. Let us know if there's something you want (or don't anymore) and we'll fill in the holes.

MisterHarry - the "Machine" as I call him I've been called far worse! OK, I can cover The Indestructible Man, The Glorious Revolution, The Emperor of Eternity and Shadow of Death if nobody else wants them. That leaves two novels, Dying in the Sun and The Colony of Lies, neither of which I have.

Ho is the expanded 2nd Doctor coming along?
Don't want to create stress for you guys, as you are doing a work of love for no material compensation, but now that the official Second Doctor sourcebook has arrived, and considering how well done your expanded 1st doctor was, I am eager for the the next!

It's all down to schedules right now. I'm doing a lot of proofing on provided texts and all that, but September has been a personal hell time and energy-wise. October has opened up like a beautiful meadow, so I'm realistically aiming for early to mid October for 2nd's release.
Not all promised material has come in yet and I'm behind on some of my own stuff too. I'm as impatient as you are, impatient to get some time to work on it steadily, polish and finish it off! But it's coming!
(It'll put 3rd around Christmas, which makes sense, and 4th late March. 5th has a lot of BF, so will take us through summer, most likely.)

Sorry for my own delays but I've also been going through a personal hell time. I'll be in touch this weekend. If I haven't submitted content by then then I'll talk about dispensing some of my reservations so that someone else can help on those. I'm pretty sure everything will be back on track by then though.

Mister Harry do you mind taking back my entries for The Dark Path and Twilight of the Gods? Although I love those books so I know that you already had some thoughts on those areas and I have a lot of books to do in the next couple of weeks so that we can get this out.
Siskoid, audios are a lot easier for me to do so how about I take on Resistance, The Glorious Revolution, and Shadow of Death? Also my wife has just told me that she's up for possibly doing one or two pictures so could you let me know if there's any artwork that you still need to have done?
Ack I just noticed that there's talk of some of those being reserved up above but isn't reflected in the main post. Let me know if those are still open.
Although with Glorious Revolution do we really want an entry for the Visitor? We don't learn a lot about him in the story and he just falls under Generic Time Lord in my mind. I'd rather do James II unless he's covered in another audio or something elsewhere.
I know this may mess with formatting somewhat since the page numbers would change but if it's not to bad I think that's a better way to go on that story.

I've no problem in covering The Dark Path and Twilight of the Gods. The Glorious Revolution and Shadow of Death have both been covered. For the former I've submitted entries for the Visitor and the Glorious Revolution itself (including stats for James II); for the latter, I've done the Quiet Ones and the pulsar planet (which I've called Geminga B). If this means you want to keep either The Dark Path or Twilight of the Gods, let me know. Otherwise I'll start work on them in the next day or so.

Naw, reading takes a lot more time. The audios are so simple to do. My mistake was just looking at the first page and I had thought that it was updated. It was only after I looked around on this page that I realized that it was taken. I didn't mean to step on your toes.
