I found some glossy photographic printer paper at work and decided to try it out and, well, damn. I don't like to really toot my own horn, but I'm so chuffed, I've never had full size (A4) prints of my stuff before and I'm so happy with how they look 😍

Picture shows five prints of Doctor Who digital edits.
Top, l-r: 13th Doctor blended with a cyberman. 13th Doctor and a wheel in space cyberman.
Bottom l-r: picture inspired by I, Davros, 1st and 13th Doctors in the tardis, 1st Doctor surrounded by Daleks.

If he's gonna watch that, he should also watch all the fan videos with fans playing the parts, making the costumes, writing the scripts etc. There is so much real creativity out there, born of an enthusiastic and inclusive fan community. We don't need artificial intelligence, we have genuine talent.

I’ve been a writer and illustrator for decades, and the rise of genAI slop has only provided further proof that many of the clients who hire creative professionals need them as much for their judgement as they do for their skills.

Book Quote Wednesday's word is 'treat' #BookQW #BookSky They say, if you want to really know someone, watch how they behave towards people who they think don't matter. The Riven Kingdom will be published on 27th October 2026. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GK5RVZWT/

The Riven Kingdom cover art by Alice Claire Coleman is in the style of a stained glass window. Blue-green leaves and vines dotted with golden flowers coil around silver swords in panels on either side. These are topped with a golden sun on the left and a yellow crescent moon on the right. In the centre, rival hands stretch upwards trying to get hold of a crown that's just out of reach...

Book extract reads: The woman brandished a letter in the light of the oil lamp hanging over the door. ‘The boy wasn’t injured. The lightning strike didn’t touch him. Now the shock has faded, he may recall further details of that day. I insist on asking him myself.’
‘You may consult his account of that day held by the high shrine’s infirmarians. They wrote down the recollections of everyone they treated who witnessed the tragedy.’ Brother Haber tucked his hands inside the sleeves of his thick black robe. ‘I can vouch for the boy’s honesty.’
No one could argue with that. The Moon God granted his priests the power to hear falsehoods. Everyone saw such magic at work when the nobility held assizes to punish criminals within their fiefdoms, where the justiciars delivered their verdicts in the crown’s name. A priest was always on hand to unmask anyone telling lies. Just as a pale-robed priestess used the power the Goddess granted her to endorse truth.
‘Your obstruction is unacceptable.’ The woman took a half-step sideways.
Startled, Reske thought she was going to force her way past the priest.

Although often regarded as non-canonical, elements from Star Trek TOS's 4th season including Kirk’s jet-propelled rollerskates have recently appeared as easter eggs in Strange New Worlds.

A 2,300-year-old silver container in the shape of a scallop-shell decorated with an octopus 🐙 It may once have held cosmetics. From Paternò, Sicily. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a silver shell-shaped container with an eight-armed octopus in relief at the centre of the lid. The arms of the octopus curl outwards across the ridges of the shell’s surface. This ornate shell container has a hinged lid and may once have been a cosmetic container . It is displayed on a clear stand in a museum case. Dimensions: 13.3 × 13.2 × 3 cm. It is part of the Silver Treasure from Paternò, Sicily, a hoard discovered in 1909, consisting of tableware and toiletries. Dated 4th-3rd century BC.

I love everything about The Watcher. The visuals, the music cue, the sense of mystery and foreboding, the fact that the Doctor understands but never tells us. There's nothing else like it in Doctor Who (perhaps a tiny glimmer in 37 Yards?) and it works so well. #DoctorWho

First will be the two-hour pilot in early 1988 with approximately six tapes a year. They will carry a three-year TV holdback which means the BBC will not be able to screen them until 1991

And if you've not read Una McCormack's "Asylum," it became my favourite Trek tie-in, and it's such a wonderful counterpoint to this episode—and tells a brilliant Trek story that's full of philosophical and legal tangles in the best Trek tradition.
