VORTEX OF MIRTH

So, what have I been doing since I watched the final David Tennant episode of Doctor Who?

Vidding. And weeping a bit while rewatching.

TITLE: Farewell to Ten, the Doctor Who Remix

MUSIC: Blame it on the Pop, the 2009 Remix by DJ Earworm - all songs included in the remix are listed below

RATING: PG

Characters: If they appeared in a Tennant episode, there's a chance they'll be in here. I think I used clips from about 90% of David's episodes.

Spoilers: All of New Who through "The End of Time Pt. II"

GENRE: Mash-up.

NOTES: In December of 2009, DJ Earworm released a remix of the top 25 songs in the US from 2009. I heard it the day before the last episode of Doctor Who starring David Tennant was set to air, and I knew from the first notes that I needed to do a vid about the Tenth Doctor set to this amazing mix of songs. It's my homage to Ten, his companions, his rivals and enemies.

So many thanks to longtimegone for sitting with me through the editing process - you are invaluable!

( + Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey mash-up remixy stuff via the fake cut )

Here's just a fun Quick Fic. (Donna and 10)

(And for anyone who hasn't yet, be sure to read this year's Christmas Story, Peacemas. It's a lot more cheerful than The End of Time.)

The BBC has released a new image on the Eleventh Doctor Matt Smith. The image is available on the BBC Website along with an image of the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors. The new picture forms the basis for the cover to the revamped Doctor Who Magazine which is available in the United Kingdom from Today.

The Magazine confirms the writers for Matt Smith's first series as the Doctor.

Lead writer Steven Moffat will write six of the thirteen episodes. He will be joined by Chris Chibnall who is writing two episodes and Mark Gatiss, Toby Whithouse, Gareth Roberts, Richard Curtis and Simon Nye all writing one episode each.

Toby Whithouse wrote the Series Two story School Reunion which saw the return of Sarah Jane Smith  and K9 to the series. He has also written for Torchwood and created Being Human for BBC Three.

Chris Chibnall was head writer on Torchwood and has also written for Life on Mars.

Mark Gatiss is one of only three people to have both written and appeared in Doctor Who. He wrote The Unquiet Dead for Series One and The Idiot's Lantern for Series Two. He later went on to appear in the Third Series story The Lazarus Experiment.

Gareth Roberts wrote The Shakespeare Code for Series Three and The Unicorn and the Wasp for Series Four. He co-wrote Planet of the Dead with Russell T Davies. He has also written for The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Neither Simon Nye or Richard Curtis have written for Doctor Who before. Nye was the creator of the long running sitcom Men Behaving Badly, which was based on his first novel, for which he won a Writers' Guild of Great Britain Award and a Royal Television Society Award. He adapted The Railway Children for television in 2000 and has written many pantomimes. Curtis, whose contribution to the series was announced in September, was Oscar nominated for Four Weddings and a Funeral and is the man behind many British comedy films and sitcoms.

Does what it says on the packet. A fanmix that goes right through the Tenth Doctor's story.

All links go to youtube, number 5 is a bit awful sound quality - but I had to get the Barrowman version, didn't I! And 3 & 5 both go to fanvids I did using those songs. Hehe.

A few days later than I was planning, but I've done the next Lemming on the list. Thankfully, with most of my sanity intact, although it was touch-and-go there for a while.

You can reach us in the comments or at whodaily@gmail.com.

 Just wanted to pop in really quick and say hello, as I'm new to the community. It'd be rude not to introduce myself, and so, here I am. 

I am a Doctor Who fan, but perhaps one who is less experienced with the series than most here. I have not seen much as far as the older series goes, but am working on that. Much like most others (or so it would seem thus far) my favorite Doctor is of course Ten(nant). As to why, it would seem self-explanatory, but he really did embody that character so well! <3 

And, as I see how people have posted pictures and fics and whatnot, I thought I'd share my very first DW artwork. Since January is the signifying month of a new year, and I myself am new...it seems almost too appropriate.  Please click the image a few times for the full view- much appreciated. (Also, feel free to use this if you wish, just please do give me credit for the image!). Nice to 'meet' everybody- looking forward to being a part of the community!

I am really addicted to the SuperPoke Pet site and I decided to make my pets habitat into some Doctor Who fun.

My pet is a Penguin that I named Ianto and I wanted to "Doctor him up" a bit LOL Ok, that was corny, but I also really wanted to share with others who would get it *grin*

Just a teensy bit spoilery for the beginning of End of Time pt1, but if you haven't seen it, I doubt you'd understand it. I've had some questions about it already lol

Hey, guys and icon-makers!

I hope this isn't against the rules, but I've been looking around for some icons and I'm struggling. I'm looking for animated avatars of:

1) The 11 Doctors (in costume, in order).
2) The Masters (ditto).

Does anyone know if they're out there somewhere?

Thanks.

I don't know if posts like these are allowed, but I am listing 6 DW SDCC 2009 collectible cards, which they passed out at the BBC America booth. They are "Buy It Now," listed at 1.99 and free shipping for domestic. I will post to the UK but I will have to calculate the shipping first.

Anyway, listing here. I am also listing some other stuff, but this is the only DW-related item.

Mods, if this is not allowed, I will gladly delete.

UK citizens: this snowfall is almsot certainly a sign of extra terretrial activity interfering with our climate, yes?
Thought so. Anyone seen Dreamland?

Summary from the BBC iPlayer site: America, 1958. The Doctor makes a new friend, Cassie, who reveals that anyone approaching the top secret Dreamland army base goes missing. The Doctor discovers an alien army hatching beneath the New Mexico desert, while inside Dreamland, survivors of an extraterrestrial war possess a weapon powerful enough to destroy Earth...
