Seriously, the Doctor just has a Thing for people who threaten/try to kill them:

The Master. No elaboration needed.

Jamie held the Doctor at knifepoint when they first met.

Turlough was sent to kill the Doctor.

I haven't read the EDAs but apparently Fitz goes on this list.

River Song was sent to kill the Doctor.

Rogue nearly executed the Doctor after mistaking him for someone else.

Conclusion: All the best Doctor ships have a threat of violence at the beginning.

You should be happy to know that, at the very least, the novelization added Fitz to the list.

do u think the artist of empire of the wolf even looked at paul mcgann before drawing the eighth doctor in there or did they just make it up as they went along. like were they sketching this art in a secluded monastery surrounded by luddite monks… forbidden from accessing such worldly luxuries as wifi or reference images

The dichotomy of the Eighth Doctor's one canon kiss in his two most popular EU ships-

With Fitz: Quick random throwaway moment, played for laughs, in one of Fitz's very first books before he even gets truly obsessed with the Doctor.

With Charley: Plot-important, an analysis of the uncomortable underside of love, psychological horror and body horror.

Fitz laughed as she told the story, which endeared him to her. He wanted to assure her that the Doctor was nothing like that, that he was down to earth, practical and straightforward, but he feared that he might find his nose growing at considerable speed.

The eight x fitz and eight x rose tags on tumblr are hilarious because one is a canonical queer ship with 50 novels of plot and relationship development together and one is two characters who have never met in canon before but are still shipped for some reason, but only one of these tags is popular enough to autosuggest at all when typing tags on a post. I’ll let you guess which one

this, but it’s eight, fitz and anji

My blog tells me that I finished reading The Adventuress of Henrietta Street around 4 years ago. That was around the time that I finished uni (and the pandemic happened) and I just stopped reading novels. Before then, I was reading the EDAs on-and-off all throughout high school and university, and got around 70% of the way through them. It's a really important series to me for a whole number of personal reasons.

So I'm really very happy to say that I finally finished a new EDA! 🎉🎉🎉 My first, shortlived attempt at Mad Dogs and Englishmen was 4 years ago, but now I've finished it! Here's hoping many more EDAs follow it. And the rest of my massive to-read list.

Mad Dogs and Englishmen was classic Paul Magrs, so it was good that I went in expecting none of it to make a whole lot of sense. Magrs really does like focusing on aesthetics, meta-commentary, and sometimes emotions over realism or strong plot logic. I really don't mind those kind of focuses, but I much prefer them with some grounding in realistic emotions and a coherent plot, which is why I'm not sure Magrs is quite as high in my list of favourite Who authors as other EU fans. I appreciate what he does with his stories, they're just not my favourite. For example, in this novel a bunch of seemingly normal clay figurines come to life for, unless I'm forgetting something, no reason at all. It's a cool sequence, but not really much more. Then the monsters lead to the kinda awful death of a minor character because the protagonists... ignored him? Forgot about him? And the novel brushes past that pretty quickly. So yeah when I read a Magrs novel, I just need to switch off my mind's logic (including, sometimes, emotional logic) and just enjoy the ride.

But having said all that, I did enjoy the ride quite a lot! Definitely more than The Blue Angel, which I remember dragged a little for me. Mad Dogs, on the other hand, really held my attention, especially when I got to the point where the Tardis team had split up on their own adventures, and all three of them were equally entertaining (A rare EDA achievement!) It's always a joy for Iris to turn up, though I wish she could've been in more of the book, and Fitz's reaction to figuring her out was so entertaining. Also, does Iris' new body in this book make her one of the first Time Lords(ish) in any media to change skin colour? Just two months before Don Warrington made his first appearance as Rassilon (It's always fun to figure out what the comics and audios were doing at the same time as the novel I'm up to.)

Anyway, the premise of the Doctor and his team investigating the various stages of a novel's adaptation into a movie to find out how and why it was temporally interfered with to turn it into propaganda for another planet's politics is fantastic. Noel Coward having such a large part in the plot was a little surprising but fun. It's interesting how Anji still feels like she doesn't quite fit this life after 10 novels now, the poor girl. And the infamous scenes where the Tardis team are stripped naked, collared, and made to crawl around by dogs, and only Anji is at all upset about that is hilarious (That just happened to be the bit I was up to when my girlfriend asked me to read aloud to her to help her fall asleep. She ended up asking me to stop because what I was reading was 'too interesting' for her to sleep to 😂)
