Back in October 2019, Nick Briggs (exec producer at Big Finish) confirmed and denied a bunch of things that they were planning at Big Finish.

Of course... 6 months later a lot of plans changed. I made a post about the original stuff back in the day, so lets see how much of it came to fruition!

Things that were "Definitely happening"

"A new series of Dalek Empire" - well, they made Dalek Universe! But.... that has the doctor, and it doesn't have the dalek empire vibe, which is all about what happens when the doctor isn't around to stop a dalek invasion. So no this hasn't happened.

"Charlotte Pollard Series 3" - No - Still delayed, still not released. But Charlotte has been in a couple of recent things, so its possible they've recorded it recently!

"UNIT" - ah yes, at the time the UNIT series had concluded with no news of if it was going to continue - it was in limbo, and peeps were concerned it was cancelled. After 2019, it came back for a storyline called "Nemesis", so yes this came back. Now that Nemesis is over, we are yet again in a limbo where we don't know if the series will continue.

"1st Doctor Adventures" - yes! We got more of these, now with Noonan in the role!

"3rd Doctor Adventures" - yes these are still being made

"Further Adventures of Lucie Miller" - No - nothing since the last set in July of 2019.

"Missy" - yes, series 2 and 3 were released and series 4 is coming out next year.

"Lost Stories" - yes, miraculously they somehow found more unfinished stories to turn into audio dramas.

"Eighth Doctor Adventures: Stranded" - yes, and 2019 was before the first ep of stranded came out but oh boy were there troubles for this series. The first 4 episodes were recorded before the pandemic, and then the remainder had to be delayed and shifted around in the schedule a lot. But they did release it!

"Classic Doctors, New Monsters" - yes, two new boxsets.

So 7 out of 10 of the Definitely Happening announcements came to fruition.

Things that were planned

"Both Alex Macqueen and Derek Jacobi as the Master" - yes, the war master series with Jacobi is still going on, but Macqueen has only appeared once: in 2021 with the boxset "Masterful"

"Narvin" - yes, has appeared in 2023's Gallifrey box set.

"Matt Smith knows that he can approach [...] to do stories [with Big Finish]" - Woops... This isn't really a planned thing, it's just a statement. Matt Smith has not joined the audio dramas yet.

"3rd Doctor Adventures with Liz Shaw" - yes this happened in a couple of the recent 3das.

"Jago appearances" - yes Jago has appeared in a couple of things, like the Paternoster Gang series.

"Jenny (the Doctor's Daughter)" - yes she came back for another boxset.

"Rose [Tyler]" - yes there's been 2 more boxsets with Rose.

"Davros" - yes he's come back a few times.

"Torchwood Series 7" - yes. This is referring to "The Story Continues", the audio continuation of Torchwood, with seasons set after the show. Series 5 was "Aliens Among Us" from 2017, Series 6 was "God Among Us" from 2018, and Series 7 was "Among Us" and finally came out in 2023. I'm not sure if they're planning to make a Series 8, I'm not really on the pulse of Torchwood - let me know!

"Re-arranging the Monthly Adventures" - yes. This is the one that fascinates me the most! Because at the time of my original post, we still didn't know what they meant by this. I remember at the time people mourning the Monthly Adventures (or "Main Range" as it was originally known), as that was how they got into the audios in the first place. I think the changes they made are much better - instead of having the 5th, 6th, and 7th doctors crammed into one range, they each have their own sections on the site. And all the Doctors feel on the same level now, and it's easier to get into. Plus: you can now just pre-order a single doctor's releases in a bundle, if you only want that doctor's stuff.

"Subscriber Short Trips" - Sort of. This is an interesting one, because with the end of the monthly adventures there aren't any subscriptions anymore. So the Subscriber Short Trips specifically are gone. Replacing them is something much more interesting in my opinion: the first boxset for each of the 5th, 6th, and 7th doctors each year has included a bonus 1 hour audiobook. I like this system because it makes it possible to get these audio books without having to specifically subscribe to a specific period of monthly audio books - with the subscriber short trips, you could only get them by subscribing! You couldn't get them by just buying something! Plus, I've liked the audio books I've heard so far.

"Constance Clarke" - Yes, she appeared in a few of the last Monthly Adventures before the range stopped, and also in the special boxset "The Eleven". She hasn't been seen for a while, though, as the 6th Doctor now has Hebe Harrison as a new companion, so they're focusing on her story arc.

"Vicki, Steven, and Dodo joining the First Doctor range" - Mostly - Dodo is the main companion in the recent 1das, Vicki is coming back in this month's boxset (January 2024), but Steven hasn't made an appearance yet.

So 10 out of 12 planned things did happen, with the other 2 being mostly as planned.

Things they had no plans to do

"A torchwood + cybermen story" - Nope.

"Class Volume 3" - Yes, they've done volumes 3 AND 4.

"Iris Wildthyme" - Sort of, she's been in some audiobooks but not in any proper dramas.

"Sarah Jane Adventures characters" - Yes, in the recent "Rani Takes on the World" series from 2023.

"Ace and Benny together" - No, I don't believe so.

"Raine" - Nope.

"David Tennant" - Yes he was in a lot of things over the pandemic.

"Multi-meddling monk story" - Yes, this happened in Missy series 3 in "Two Monks, One Mistress".

"The Rani" - No, as previously noted the Rani is still stuck in a tangle of Rights issues.

"Clara and (Lady) Me series" - Nope - was noted as a great idea back in 2019, but I'm sure that the actors are busy with other things.

"Frobisher" - Sadly no.

"Graceless" - Yes - the series didn't come back, but the main characters came back in "The Fifth Doctor Adventures: Wicked Sisters".

"Romana III" - Nope.

"Novel Adaptions" - No. This is one of the things that is very weird: fans vocally want more adaptions of the VNA novels from the 90s, and Big Finish want to make them. But.... Nick Briggs has said that they don't sell for some reason, despite being one of the most commonly asked for series. I doubt this will come back at all.

"New Series Lost Stories" - Nope.

"Shalka Doctor" - Nope.

"Mel and Glitz" - No, and sadly the actor for Glitz passed away in 2021, which makes this unlikely.

So 5 out of 17 things they had no plans for actually did end up happening.

Things they said Will Not Happen

"Lungbarrow adaption" - No of course not lol.

"Anniversary boxsets for 3rd/5th Doctor/the Master/etc" - Sort of - at the time, Nick said "Almost every year is an anniversary of something or someone now". But since then we've had an anniversary boxset for the Master, as well as a semi-special boxset for the 40th anniversary of the 5th doctor (albeit this was just a normal release that was a bit anniversary-like)

So one sort of out of 2 definitely not happening things.

Things they said "Just Imagine..."

(which means "we're not going to answer that right now for marketing reasons")

"More unbound" - Yes, the Doctor of War boxsets which came out in 2022.

"Marc Cory (from Mission to the Unknown)" - No, but the elements of Mission to the Unknown appeared in Dalek Universe (which is probably why they didn't talk about it).

"Eric Roberts and John Simm as The Master" - Yes! Roberts has his own little series called "Master!", and both of them showed up in the "Masterful" boxset in 2021. It was heavily implied in behind the scenes stuff that Simm is not planning to show up ever again, so that may be the only time we get a Simm audio.

"Class Series 2" - Sort of. This is referring to continuing the story of Class from after the end of the TV show, which they originally couldn't do for rights reasons. The 2023 drama "Secret Diary of a Rhodian Prince" was set after the TV show, but is so far the only episode to do so.

"More incarnations of the Master" - Yes, Milo Parker played the Master in "Masterful", but nothing otherwise.

"Lady Christina Volume 2" - Yes.

"New Earth Volume 2" - No.

"The Nine/Eleven/Twelve/more incarncations of the character" - Yes, in fact this character has appeared very frequently over the last few years and I'm starting to get sick of them.

"Delta and the Bannermen sequel" - No? I'm not sure what this was referring to, but neither Delta nor the Bannermen have returned.

"Jo meeting Missy" - Yes, this happened in "Masterful".

So 6 out of these 10 happened.

"I'll look into that"

"Availability of The Veiled Leopard and Sarah Jane Smith: Comeback" - Comeback is now available on the website, after many years out of print. The Veiled Leopard is not available on the big finish site in general, I think there's some complex issues there. They occasionally make it available for free as a bonus special thing for a special occasion, and you can also listen to it on their soundcloud page.

"Limited Edition Vinyls on the website" - When they did vinyls for the 9das, those were available on the website, so this did end up happening.

And that's it! Interesting to see how much changed (and how much didn't) between October 2019 and now.

[the-invisible-queer]

My initial reaction to V the unreleased released Jonas Brothers album from 2013

FIRST OF ALL my OVERALL feelings for it is kind of lukewarm

I didn't hate it I could never hate an entire Jonas album but I didn't exactly enjoy it

It felt familiar yet so foreign

Like I know these guys but it didn't feel like them

I was hoping for some like "oh" moment which I had but it wasn't a good "oh" it was a "this is why they broke up" 😭

Also the lesson learned from listening to this is I miss Joe's voice from pre-2015 SO badly

I yearn for the whine we'll never get again 😔

I only wrote notes for the songs I'm unfamiliar with and haven't talked about at length before

It is my stream of consciousness as I listened through so it's somewhat incoherent as usual

"Mr. Nice Guy"

Joe's voice OKAAAAYYYYYY

It's giving Fastlife lowkey

Weird listening to a "new" song with how his voice used to be

"Neon"

Giving Nick's first solo album

VERY 2013

LIVING for Joe's vocals

Giving "Airplanes" by B.o.B. and "Diamonds" by Rihanna

"Let's Go" ft. Karmin

OKAYYYYY

I jokingly was like watch this be my favorite song BUT LIKE MAYBEEEE

Still giving Fastlife vibes but better

OKAY NICHOLAS

OHAY JOSEPH

Not to be a WHORE but Amy Noonan has my CONSENT

MY QVEEN

Josh and I would have lost our minds over this fucking song

OKAY JOSEPH PART II ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

"What Do I Mean"

This SCREAMS NJ solo Nick

NOT THE DUBSTEP

They had me up until that point

I know that was the fucking vibe of 2013

But kill it with fire

But Joe's vocals are good

Songs would have been INFINITELY better without the fucking dubstep but I do appreciate Joe's "what do I mean to you" screams behind it because that makes it tolerable

If I'd heard this song in 2013 it would have made me stop being a Jonas Brothers fan all together

"Don't Say"

It's giving Who I Am vibes

I love it already

Nick needs to do an album like this because it would be so good

This might actually be my favorite song...and it's a Nick centric song...what is going ON

Nick x Bruno/Silk Sonic collab WHEN?!?!?!?!

"The World"

Ooohhhhhh off the top the vibes are great

OKAY JOSEPH JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WITH THE VOCALS OHMYFUCKINGGODS

I knew I wasn't gonna stan a Nick song

Joe had to come claim his bitch(me) back

"Found"

Heard this one eons ago and loved it but I haven't heard it since

It's very chill

UGH JOSEPHHHHHHHHHH

I miss his voice like I love his voice now but I miss his old voice

Yes it IS a Jonas Brothers album but it didn't feel like it

It didn't feel like THEM

It DID feel like a Nick album featuring his brothers which explains A LOT

I have so many feelings I'll probably keep posting as the day progresses and I process what I heard more

Prompt: Companions react to Sole/Courier being woken up by a nightmare

Joshua Graham: You wake up to the feeling of cold holy water hitting you in the face. You sit up, prodding at the water dripping off your face. "There," He speaks in a low, even tone. "The demons of hell will haunt you no longer." He screws the cap on his tactical holy water (it's holy water in metal flask he keeps on his person, just for moments like this. Devil works hard, but Joshua works harder)

Boone: "There, there." He grunts, stiff and awkward. If he had a broom, he would consider petting you with its bristles - staying far away, least he feel something other than rage

No-bark Noonan: slaps you awake

Lily: Offers milk and cookies in a moderately terrorizing way

Strong: Where are they? Want to kill

Nick: Would hear the sounds of you struggling in the bed as he is reviews case files. He'd quickly rise from his desk and visit the bedroom at the back of his agency. He'd see you there, curled into the fetal position, clinging to the blanket wet with your tears. Valentine would sit next to you on the bed and offer pleasant reassurance (stroking your hair, 'it's only a dream, you're safe here', cuddles, snacks - whatever would sooth sole best)

Deacon: Would off you a hot drink. Once you are feeling better, he'd take you on a fun adventure with him. Deacon had a lead on an underground/black market trade circle. Deacon uses this lead as an excuse to pretend to be someone else, even just temporarily. The two of you put on your disguises and pose as traders, looking for goods.

Hancock: Familiar to the pain of life, he knows the right combination of chems to help with the exhaustion of waking from the horrors of lingering/haunting memories.

Cait: "You too!?" Offers a high five, "Up top!"

Curie: "Monsieur/Madame, what eva could be ze problem? I see no sign of phizical harm, but....you are so pale. What can I do to aid you?"

Preston: "Something happen that I should know about, General?" I'm also sure Preston would give the royalty treatment sole deserves for the remainder of the day. After much rest and pampering, Sole feels much better <3

Piper: "Woah! Take it easy, Blue! It's just me. You were really worked up just a moment ago - what happened?" Piper wants to hear Sole out, really get to the bottom of these nightmares. And if she finds out the source is [a person/problem that can handled], there is hell to pay - and everyone in Diamond City is going to know. Oh yes, Piper is getting justice

X6-88: "You're going to get us noticed. Cut it out." ice cold Sole needs a blanket just to recover from X6-88 chillish remarks

Badass collab by Ben Kaye and Nick Noonan

[byneddiedingo]

Anomalisa (Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson, 2015)

Cast: David Thewlis, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tom Noonan (voices). Screenplay: Charlie Kaufman, based on a play by Charlie Kaufman (as Francis Fregoli).Cinematography: Joe Passarelli. Production design: John Joyce, Huy Vu. Film editing: Garret Elkins. Music: Carter Burwell. Of all forms of animation, stop-motion has for me the greatest creep factor, which Charlie Kaufman, who wrote the screenplay, and Duke Johnson, who supervised the animation, deliberately play on in Anomalisa. Traditional cel animation works with the charm of seeing hand-drawn pictures come to life, and computer animation has overcome the gee-whiz element of technological innovation to bring about a simulacrum of real life. But to my mind, only Nick Park and the geniuses at Aardman have managed to overcome the flickery stiffness of stop-motion, and that mainly by telling genuinely funny stories. Anomalisa succeeds too, but it isn't funny -- except in parts. It begins with Michael Stone (voiced by David Thewlis), an expert in the manipulative field of "customer service," arriving in Cincinnati to deliver an address to a convention. Soon we begin to notice something odd: All of the people he meets, male and female, sound the same. They all speak with the voice of Tom Noonan, with only a few variations of accent and pitch to distinguish them from one another. So it's a shock when we -- and Stone -- hear a female voice (Jennifer Jason Leigh's) outside his hotel room. Stone immediately pursues the voice and finds its owner, Lisa Hesselman, who is bowled over to be meeting the Michael Stone, famous in customer-service circles for his book on the topic. Stone invites Lisa and her roommate for a drink, then rather rudely throws over the roommate and asks Lisa back to his room. Kaufman's creation of shy, awkward Lisa, who is deeply self-conscious because of a facial scar that she hides with her hair and who talks constantly and nervously, is a masterstroke. (Anomalisa was originally a play in which Thewlis and Leigh sat on opposite sides of the stage with Noonan in the middle.) Stone calls Lisa an anomaly, a word that he morphs into "anomalisa," and after persuading her to sing Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," they have sex. (The film is rated R and there is full-frontal male puppet nudity.) But the next morning, after a beautifully staged nightmare sequence that plays on Stone's guilt and paranoia, he finds his infatuation with Lisa beginning to fade: When she speaks, he begins to hear Noonan's voice echoing everything she says. He has a breakdown during his convention address, and returns home to his family, now uncertain about his sanity. It's a devastating tale, based in part on a neuropsychological phenomenon known as the Fregoli delusion -- the hotel Stone stays in is called the Fregoli, which is also the pseudonym Kaufman used on the play -- but more largely on the universal conundrum of personal identity. It gets into your head and stays there like an unsettling dream.

Lyrics:

Oh, yeah

Uh, c'mon, yeah

This is more than the typical kinda thing

Felt a jones in my bones when you were touching me

Uh-oh, didn't wanna take it slow

In a daze, goin' craze, I can barely think

You're replayin' in my brain, find it hard to sleep

Oh-oh, waitin' for my phone to blow

Uh-oh, yup

Now I'm here in a sticky situation

Got a bit of trouble, yup, and now I'm pacin'

Five minutes, ten minutes, now it's been an hour

I don't wanna think too hard, but I'm sour

Oh-oh, I can't seem to let you go

See, I've been waitin' all day for you to call me, baby

So let's get up, let's get on it

Don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight

Come on, that's right

Honest, baby, I'll do anything you want to

So can we finish what we started?

Don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight

Come on, that's right, cheerio

What's the time? Such a crime, not a single word

Sippin' on that Patrón, just to calm my nerves

Oh-oh, poppin' bottles by the phone, oh yeah

Had me up, had me down, turned me inside out

That's enough, call me up, baby, I'm in doubt

Uh-oh, and I don't even think you know

No, no, no

See, I've been waitin' all day for you to call me, baby

So let's get up, let's get on it

Don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight

Come on, that's right

Honest, baby, I'll do anything you want to

So can we finish what we started?

Don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight

Come on, that's right, cheerio, ay

Anything you wanna do, I'll be on it too

Everything you said, is like gold with a view

Business in the front, party in the back

Maybe I was wrong, was the outfit really wack?

This kinda thing doesn't happen usually

I'm on the opposite side of it, truthfully

I know you want it, so come and get it

Cheerio

See, I've been waitin' all day, for you to call me, baby (yeah, yeah, yeah)

So let's get up, let's get on it

Don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight (oh-oh-woah-oh, yeah)

Honest, baby, I'll do anything you want to (thing that you want)

So can we finish what we started?

Don't you leave me brokenhearted tonight

Come on, that's right! Cheeri-cheerio, uh

Songwriter:

When you gonna call?

Don't leave me brokenhearted

I've been waiting up, let's finish what we started

Oh, oh, I can't seem to let you go

Come on, that's right, cheerio, uh

2000 Followers Celebration!!!

& Fallout Alphabet Poll End Results!

Hey all, so the secret is out! (Kinda) But all these past polls have been the prelude to my 2K Followers Celebration BONANZA. (That's not the official title, I just wanted to use the word BONANZA).

Anyway, a HUGE, MASSIVE thank you to every single one of you folks who are a part of this little community and who've supported me and my fanfiction writing journey for the past few years (which is crazy that it's been that long, omg.) But I love and appreciate you all SO MUCH and am absolutely baffled that I've made it to this. I thought 100 was crazy, then I thought 1K was crazy and then it just kept on going! Ahh, I'm just so so so glad that there's a thriving Fallout community out here of amazing writers, artists, and fans that are still so involved 😊

I don't know what I would do without this space, so thank you all for being a part of it <3

ANYWAY (x2) Here are the final results to all 22 polls that I posted, with more event details just below!

So I've posted the 1st place winners, 2nd place, and then a 3rd "runner up" position that will only be filled by non-companion npcs, just to give them a chance to shine, and me a chance to write for some folks I'm not as used to. For the purposes of the 2k event, I will only be using the 1st place winners for the 'prompts' (which I'll explain in another post), and then a few of the 2nd placers and (almost) all of the runner ups will be used in ANOTHER upcoming event that I'm going to start prepping for (because I'm an insane person).

The Ship Song Project, Sydney Opera House

The Project is an interpretation of Nic Cave’s iconic “The Ship Song”.

The song itself is performed by Neil Finn, Kev Carmody and The Australian Ballet, Sarah Blasko, John Bell, Angus and Julia Stone, Paul Kelly and Bangarra Dance Theatre, Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Opera Australia, Martha Wainwright, Katie Noonan and The Sydney Symphony, The Temper Trap, Daniel Johns and the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

Sydney Opera House CEO Richard Evans says of the project:

“We set out to create a tribute to the House’s role in the global creative community – a love song to creativity if you wish.”

“We wanted to give people everywhere the opportunity to experience the creative genius that makes this place tick, to get a taste of the artists, venues and other spaces that power the heart that beats beneath our soaring white sails.”
