''Starfix'', #3, April 1984 Source The malevolent Molasar from the 1983 film, 'The Keep', directed by Michael Mann. Molasar was designed by the French comic book artist Enki Bilal. The film's music was composed by Tangerine Dream who had worked previously with Mann on his (much better) film 'Thief' from 1981. The movie was based on the book by F. Paul Wilson who did not like the movie adaptation (to be fair, from what I've read over the years, the production of the film was a shitshow for everyone involved and the movie was cut down from 210 minutes to 96 minutes before being publicly released which partially explains why so many critics found the film "incomprehensible"). The movie was a commercial bomb but eventually became a cult classic. It was definitely a movie I saw repeatedly on VHS as a wee lad.

Nightworld (F. Paul Wilson) "At the start of Nightworld the sun rises five minutes too late. Repairman Jack can't understand why the scientists are so disturbed by this, but when portals to Another Dimension open all over the world, spewing a horde of Eldritch Abominations every night, the fact that every day the sun inexplicably rises later and sets earlier than the last becomes a reason for serious panic."

The Night Land (William Hope Hodgson) "The Sun has gone out and the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in the Last Redoubt, a gigantic metal pyramid, nearly eight miles high, which is under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a shield known as the "air clog", powered from a subterranean energy source called the "Earth Current". For thousands of years vast living shapes known as the Watchers have waited in the darkness near the pyramid. It is thought that they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle's power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human."

Some new thriftshop finds!

[candywafercutie]

Drew a lot of genderbends and actually named them. I'm naming them for my own convenience, and bc it's fun to look at baby name sites :'D

Elizabeth "Birdie" Wayne was a hard pick bc Brucine or Bryce are right there, but the nickname "Birdie" to correspond to "Brucie" is SO cute I couldn't pass it up.

For my Fem!Jason, she's p masc-leaning, so I wanted a fancy sounding name that she just refuses to use.

"Dixie" was always going to happen. Idk how she ended up with that nickname in-universe, but it's SO damn cute I couldn't not use it.

"Tracy" Drake is a subtle reference to Dick Tracy :D

Fem!Damian went through quite a few diff names before I settled on Damiah. It's literally just "Damian" with a tall "N" ya'know? Also it's really pretty

Duke -> Duchess is pretty self explanatory.

"Ra's al Ghul" is a title that means Head of the Demon, so there's no need to rename her.

Jeanne-Marie was hard to pick, because Jean-Paul is a very french/christian name, and I wanted to keep the hyphenated name AND those themes, and ultimately I couldn't come up with anything else that fit that still sounded nice. Low key a reference to Joan of Arc/Jeanne D'arc.

Odile Cobblepost because Odile is the name of a famous swan-girl. Bird pun.

Rowan is just Roman with an upside down M :'D

The rest p much have no specific thought process beyond "yay that's close enough!" or "I like how that sounds!"

Anniversary Tournament

Last year for Doctor Who's anniversary I ran a tournament between Doctor Who stories, and I wanted to so something different again this year. A tournament between real people important to the history of Doctor Who, actors, writers, producers, directors, composers, production designers. Technically it'll be a tournament for the most infuential person to Doctor Who and its development over the years, but really I want it to be a celebration of all of these people, and not just the winner.

To that end, the nomination form, you can also submit nominations normally, ie sending me an ask or replying to this post, however I won't be accepting propaganda through those methods.

I'm thinking I'll close nominations on the 18th of November, that might change but probably not by much
