Just in time for the newly announced audio. Yes, I saw that announcement and was briefly tempted to postpone covering Cold Fusion until the audio adaptation was out. But then I realised it's not due until December, which is leaving it a little late...

Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your eyes... Been a long wait, so I made sure it would be worth it. New update has grown from a dozen pages to nearly 200 pages. drive.google.com/open?id=0B4RRnRNaDS5wZmpWanJ6b2lCdEkDon't thank me, thank MisterHarry; his entries are the only ones I had time to lay in. Also done, the first pass of pictures - those that didn't require TOO much extra work. (Image makers, you may suggest assignments on the rest!) Still missing: Gadgets, because the layouts on those are finicky and I try to keep them for the end as much as possible to keep cursing at a minimum. Thanks for your patience, and you'll see more, and more frequent, updates from now on.

Ah is see that The Mutant Phase - Location/Daleks Victorious Parallel does not appear to have been picked up. Can I put my hand up for this or is it too late at this stage?
I guess what we are looking for is a general description of Earth, its survivors, Skaro, Thals and Daleks with a side bar for the mutant phase. Any room for character write ups there are some quirky people in the story? Should I avoid detailing how the parallel was created to avoid spoilers?

The Mutant Phase is still unclaimed, so go for it - and welcome aboard the project! As well as the Daleks Victorious Parallel, if there are any characters you think worthy of their own separate entries then by all means write them up. Siskoid's list provides suggestions for entries from each story, but there are often additional characters, monsters or gadgets which come to light when the story itself is re-visited. In terms of including spoilers, we use a spoiler warning at the appropriate point in the text ("SPOILER WARNING! SPOILERPHOBES SHOULD READ NO FURTHER!"). So yes, include info on how the parallel was created, but after the warning line. If you've not already done so, have a look at the submissions guidelines thread for advice on formatting and word count: Submission Guidelines

I have the first three novels listed there and read the first two. I think it's pretty funny that no one's jumped on Divided Loyalties and Warmonger yet, given they are considered among the worst of the canon (DL the absolute worst - I think it was my first PDA). No one need hurt themselves by taking these on, as I probably will in the end.
But if you have a love of the material (somehow), don't let me stop you either.

Yes, odd that, isn't it? For me, Warmonger is the very worst Doctor Who novel of all, really appalling. So I was leaving it until the very last - I guess partly in hope that somebody else might volunteer for it. I don't remember too much about Divided Loyalties except that it's a massive continuity-fest that has all the significant renegade Time Lords - the Doctor, the Master, the Rani, the Monk et al - having been in the same class at the Academy. Hugely ridiculous and diminishes the scope of the Whoniverse. If you're happy to cover these two, then I'm not going to try to stop you. It is a far, far better thing that you do...

Hubert, Early of Mummerset: "Early" should be "Earl". Witch Guards: left volume, line 1, should "deathly" be "deadly"?
Otherwise excellent job, keep up the good work.

[A few typos I've noticed. The Winter Planet: right column, line 3, I believe "encourage" should be "entourage". Well spotted. I wondered who would be first to notice that. You're right of course - though perhaps Early is the opposite of Late (as in dead). No, "deathly" is correct (meaning "resembling death" - as in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows).

BTW the stat block for Lady Nyssa, page 115, has "TECH LEVEL: X STORY POINTS: X".
