Aug. 8th, 2015 08:35 pmAugust 17 is the anniversary of the day I consider the founding of my internet fanfiction universe(s), the day in 1997 when I started posting new material regularly, with summer breaks; at the time, weekly chapters of Doctor Who/Star Trek crossovers on alt.drwho.creative and alt.startrek.creative both. It's also the anniversary of the day last year when my wife passed away, an hour or so after I wondered online whether I ought to start the new Hero of Three Faces cartoons season that day as planned or wait till my life settled down again; knowing, even as I speculated aloud, what that would mean. The Hero of Three Faces season started the next weekend. This year's Hero of Three Faces season premier (and probably every subsequent season premier) will update August 17 featuring the Doctor in his tenth incarnation and Rose Tyler, the characters who made my favorite tv show into her favorite tv show. It may go up anytime after 12:01 am GMT, even though I usually go by CDT with Three Faces, because season premiers bring out my enthusiasm; but it may not go up right at 12:01 because I'll be traveling the 16th. After that there are nine more ready to go at this writing which I will probably upload daily in order not to have to edit tentative posting dates already entered in my spreadsheet.

May. 20th, 2015 08:03 pmTonight's Hero of Three Faces archive retcon project is to replace Red Nose Day Doctor Nine with Red Nose Day Doctor Thirteen, for two reasons, which range from obvious to matters to no one but me.
The obvious reason is to bring into my cartoons the only existing female screen Doctor. I'm ashamed not to have done it before now. I plead assumptions I'd failed to notice are no longer valid, which brings me to the other reason.
The reason which matters to no one but me is that the face I've always used for Red Nose Day Alternate Doctor is the one that the Doctor stops using in The Curse of the Fatal Death, the air date of which is in my chronology when Red Nose Day Doctor starts appearing. In the continuity of my fanfiction of 1999 that made sense, because I'd consigned the events of Fatal to a dream, in order to convert the girl companion from someone called Emma into the third incarnation of the Doctor's half Romulan half sister Saavik of Vulcan, whom I'd already used in one prose story but had no screen or cartoon face for. But since I rebooted the Three Faces continuity last summer and the Fatal companion has reverted to being someone called Emma (even though Saavik is still half Time Lord), there is no need to unhappen Fatal, so the Red Nose Day Doctor's face needs to be the one that Fatal ended with.
There's only one cartoon in the active archive that this affects, but I've already scripted another for her for the new season in the fall. First: triangle character design.

Feb. 18th, 2015 08:10 amThe last time I chose between cheese and peanut butter to give up for Lent, I chose cheese, so it's peanut butter's turn. But at the moment I've been avoiding peanut butter already because I think it's a sensitivity that's one cause of nighttime post-nasal drip coughing/insomnia. Giving up peanut butter wouldn't be the trial it used to be, but giving up cheese when I'm already avoiding peanut butter would be outright torture and would leave me nothing to eat for lunch.
So for this Lent I'm giving up putting the Doctor in triangle fanfiction. On the one hand, the Doctor's my favorite, and the cartoons' usual authorial voice; and the TARDIS is the literal and literary device which has facilitated the crossovers in my fanfiction since I discovered the show. Also, did I mention, favorite. On the other hand, the cartoons have established Guinan and Buffy's gang as crossover ennablers also, and other characters like Starfleet officers and superheroes could contrive means to do so at need as well. So I'd be denying myself Doctor Who-specific jokes but not the primary premise of the cartoons, the crossovers.
That's a reasonable trial, and it might drive me to develop Guinan's and the scoobies' places in the cartoons in a way that doesn't happen normally when I have the Doctor to reflexively fall back on.
Similarly, if I should come up with a joke about, say, Daleks that I really can't bear not to run right away, instead of the Doctor I could for a change plumb the casts of one of the Doctor Who spinoffs, Sarah Jane Adventures or Torchwood. Or the spinoffs that started development and only got a pilot or not even that, K-9 And Company or Rose Tyler: Defender Of The Earth or Terry Nation's American Daleks. Or even the spinoffs that won't ever happen, The Paternoster Gang or 13 Bannerman Road or Torchwood Two or Love & Guns In The 51st Century or Yes Lord President or ... Maybe that's defeating the purpose. Though seriously I think SJA and Torchwood are fair game.
