Second Chances: A Doctor Who Short Story
During this time we're all staying at home, an awesome company called Fantom--which normally hosts lots of Doctor Who conventions and events in the UK throughout the year--decided to start having virtual Doctor Who conventions!

Purring: A Sixth Doctor and Peri Short Story
A little while ago, I thought it would be a good exercise to write brief stories for each Doctor from Doctor Who. I pulled up a random word generator and gave myself 10 minutes to write and edit a story based on that word! I had the idea that since I can do Peri's voice … Continue reading Purring: A Sixth Doctor and Peri Short Story
Fear of the Dark
Dark. The ever-present fear Living in every heart Stretching every imagination Scaring every child Is it innate within us? Or passed down through generations? Is it really so dangerous? Or does the dark make fear come alive? Yet there is beauty within the terror Shades of colour within the blackness Maybe dark is not the … Continue reading Fear of the Dark
