Welcome to the Doctor Who eBook Preservation Society

See original post.

What is this?

"This" is just a bunch of nerds making properly formatted EPUBs (convertible into other file types (e.g. MOBI, AZW3)) of Doctor Who books! It was started because @blazing-dynamo wanted to read properly formatted Eighth Doctor Adventures, however has expanded.

Currently the main focuses are Eighth Doctor Adventures, New Series Adventures, and Virgin New Adventures.

How far along are you?

EDAs: 31/74

It'll never not amaze me the depths and vast expansive-ness of Doctor Who spin-off content. Can any other fandom or show truly say that they have a 'universe' in the same way that Doctor Who does? You have decades of audio dramas, licensed, partially licensed, and unlicensed. Books about the main character, books about the main characters friends, books about timelines that never were or might have been! Movies with villains from the show and promotional shorts that occupy a secret third special place between plain fun and actual canon. Is all of it canon? Is none of it canon besides the show? Are only the bits we like canon? YOU decide, because you have decades and mountains and worlds to choose from.

Not to mention that this all gives fans the easiest in to make fan-content, fan doctors, etc and they do, hundreds of them! They have been for decades!

The Whoniverse is ever expanding, vast in a way that few can truly grasp onto, and you'll never be done discovering it. I'll never not be in awe of it.

girls be like I'm really normal about doctor who then proceeds to tell you the difference between EDAs 8DAs PDAs and VNAs

fucking SICK haul from my local used bookstore today!!! my partner and I are obsessed with dw so we’re very excited to read these!!!

[inkpalace]

getting really annoyed that the wilderness years / expanded canon of doctor who has so many contradictions but also contradicting ourselves because every discontinuity can effectively be dismissed by saying "faction paradox did it"

90's who was wild and weird.

i dont really know how to go about this other than making Posts and leading by example, but i really would love to try and build a culture in dweu fandoms to Leave The Wiki Better Than You Found It. SO MANY works on tardiswiki don't have synopses, and so often i see people complaining about tardiswiki being innaccurate or unhelpful. these are problems that you have the power to solve! you can edit the wiki! as i read wilderness years books, i make a point to write a synopsis if there isn't one. if you're worried about not doing it well, a bad synopsis is better than no synopsis--it gives other editors something to edit! even if it's just a few paragraphs overviewing what happens, it makes the wiki better and makes these stories far more accessible and comprehensible to the average dr who fan. i think many people forget that fan wikis are made and edited by fans and that The Power Lies In Your Hands. the style guide/editor's manual can be found here.

Only in the New Adventures can you get two thirds of the way through and have the author turn to you and go "And then the entire primary cast fucking died" and go "Ooh, it's been a while since we've done that one, here we go!"

tiny comic of No Future... i love Expressions

[image ID. a simple comic with four panels. the first panel shows Bernice Summerfield standing behind the seventh doctor, hitting the top of his hat irritatedly with her fist while he makes an annoyed face, sticking out his tongue. her speech bubble reads "Helloooo!! anybody in there!". In the next panel she's pushing his hat down over his eyes while he frowns, her speech bubble says "Stop being so rude, git-features!!". in the third panel the doctor looks up at her, fixing his hat angrily, with a shadow over his eyes. in the fourth panel he suddenly gives a big apologetic smile, putting up his hands and saying "guilty!". end ID.]

I've never seen a more prophetic trading card:

The New Adventures

Are the New Adventures novels "real" in the context of the show? Generally, only the primary medium and author of a work are considered canonical; for example, only printed stories by Arthur Conan Doyle form the Sherlock Holmes "canon." But in the years since the Seventh Doctor's final stories aired in 1989, there has been no new Who in its primary medium of television, and nine of the New Adventures published to date are by the same writers as the tv adventures. Some fans believe that only the 1963-1989 tv series should be considered canon, while others believe that the New Adventures and Missing Adventures novels should be provisionally accepted as "real"—at least until the Doctor returns to tv (we hope!). Only in printed media do we find such latter-day companions as Bernice Summerfield et al to read about and enjoy. Whether she's real or not, one thing is certain: the Doctor's adventures continue, somehow, somewhere.

Oh No It Isn't

For my prior post, i drew versions of the doctor (and one master) who have appeared in novels, but have never had a visual depiction of themselves! So, i figured i'd post the full artworks i made here.
