Spotlight on Fandoms: Fandoms for August 5th

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Only a day late this time. Go me! For next weekend, the mighty RNG has chosen Stargate: Atlantis, Princess of Thieves and Mahou Sensei Negima!. It has also selected Avatar: The Last Airbender, but since that has three volunteers, they have been shifted to the following weekend.

ltcolkirk, notafairmaiden and bound2blade, please let me know if you will be able to post next Sunday.

thebluespirit, southernbender and sarcasm_guy, please coordinate and let me know if you will be able to post on August 12th.

Thank you!

Update on Creatures of Nature class

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

I got a text message from whathasbeenlost and she is having problems staying connected to the internet long enough to post her class. She is still hoping that it will go up today, but it won't be until later.

Spotlight on Fandoms: Doctor Who and Torchwood

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Are you telling me I'm naked in front of millions of viewers? …Ladies, your viewing figures just went up."
-Capt. Jack Harkness

Doctor Who

Okayyyy - we are only gonna touch on Doctor Who in the briefest of brief possible ways because HOLY GOD thirty plus years of twisty non-continuity continuity and how many bloody audio adventures and books and they're all canon except not depending on who you ask and my head hurts just thinking about it.

( Right. Where was I? )

(  Torchwood: the place  )

(  Torchwood: The Show  )

( The setup )

( The People  )

(  Why should you watch it? )

(  Doctor Who again  )

(  Where can I find out more? )

( 'Where can I get it?,' I hear you cry, 'Give it to me!' )

And there we go! Sorry about it being late, though technically it's still Sunday on the West Coast of Canada! Question? Comments? Observations? The obligatory request for pie?
_____________________
I've tried to avoid explicit spoilers, but there's a lot of general ones for the last five episodes of season 1 (2005) of Doctor Who, all of Torchwood, and very minor ones for season 2 and the end of season 3 of Doctor Who.

Departing Characters

[ismyhairout.livejournal.com]

Wonderful spam!

You don't need to decide now, and there will be reminder posts over the next few weeks about this, but here goes anyway. If you are intending for your character to leave Fandom permanently at the end of the semester, please leave a comment below. All comments will be screened.
