Yes, you read that right.

It was way back in January 1999 that THE DOCTOR WHO PROJECT released its very first story, THE FINAL SUNSET by John Swogger, Misha Lauenstein & Bob Furnell. The story was initially only available to subscribers who were sent the story in Word format via email. Over the next seven weeks, subscribers received a further seven stories that made up the very first 'season' of original, fan written, Doctor Who stories. This was followed in March 1999 when a print edition bringing together all eight Season 27 stories in specially released omnibus edition.

NOV 18/23: SEASON 44 FINALE TODAY!
It's been a rollercoaster ride of adventures but sadly it's come to the season finale for Season 44.

In a brand new adventure penned by Hamish Crawford, the Season 44 Season Finale - Return To Skaro - sees the Doctor and companion travel back in time to the planet Skaro, home of the Daleks.

Two hundred years on from the Doctor’s first fateful visit, Skaro is a peaceful and prosperous planet. The Thals have conquered the demons of their past, and the city of the Daleks is sealed under a forcefield. But the Doctor suspects it’s too good to be true, and his fears are confirmed when a Thal rocket crashes into the city. Before long, he, Maggie, and a group of battle-trained Thal scientists are face to face with the Daleks reborn. Once again, the Doctor must decide whether he has the right to stamp out their evil forever—or risk it spreading through the galaxy.

Return To Skaro is available now and can be downloaed in a free PDF file which can be read on your PC, laptop, tablet or e-Reader. Just click on the story link to the left column, or visit the section of the website.

SEASON 44 CONCLUDES SATURDAY NOVEMBER 18 2023 with...

RETURN TO SKARO By Hamish Crawford

Two hundred years have passed since the Doctor’s first fateful visit to Skaro. Now it is a prosperous and peaceful planet. The Thals have regrown their crops and put the ghosts of the past behind them. They are even launching fledgling satellites into space. The city of their deadliest enemies is sealed off under a forcefield, an ocean and a continent away.

It’s all too good to be true, and the Doctor knows it. The Thals’ finest scientific mind, Arvell, has traces of his people’s warlike nature, and the younger generation are questioning their people’s moral fibre. So when a Thal test rocket crashes in the middle of that dead city, the Doctor is suspicious. Before long, he and Maggie and a group of battle-trained Thal scientists are right in the middle of that city, their worst fears confirmed.

The Daleks are born anew, and this could be the pivotal moment to stop their evil from spreading forever—or else let it lay waste to everything in its path. Once, the Doctor was forced to ask himself if he had that right—now, forces are conspiring to put that question to him again.


RETURN TO SKARO will be available to download as a free PDF download which can be read on your PC, laptop, tablet or e-Reader.

SENSED PRESENCE By Nick Krohn

During a faux séance held by a stage magician beneath a coffee house, the Doctor and Maggie are dragged by a disturbance in the Vortex to make an emergency landing on the campus of Piedmont State University in the American Midwest. They discover a series of catacombs that has become the source of multiple hauntings.

With assistance from Phil (the magician) and Heather (the proprietor of the coffee house), the Doctor traces the source of the disturbances to a long-forgotten project from the 1940’s that involved particle acceleration and manipulation of time. Those primitive experiments misfired all those decades ago and are having profound effects on the present day.

Despite attempts by the university and government agencies to cover up and nullify the effects of the disturbances taking place in the tunnels beneath campus, it is clear that things are spiraling out of control, and they are desperate enough to accept outside help of the kind only the Doctor can provide. Now, the Doctor, Maggie, and their new friends must save the lives of the volunteers who participated in that ill-conceived experiment before their sacrifice threatens not only the present day, but the future as well.


SENSED PRESENCE will be available to download as a free PDF download which can be read on your PC, laptop, tablet or e-Reader.

Invaders from outside rewrite history, and only sending the station’s blueprints farther back can keep it on track. Can the Doctor reset time without sacrificing the crew or their attackers?

OCT 31/23: SEASON 44 CONTINUES NOV 4/23 WITH...
Season 44 continues this Saturday November 4th with TIMEBASE, an all new story by Daniel Tessier, Hamish Crawford & Meg MacDonald.

The Timebase Project was launched in the sixty-fourth century. Or was it the twenty-seventh? Or was it the work of Colin Bathersby, a shop assistant at the Pelbridge Shopping Complex in 2013?

According to the Doctor, the Timebase—a military station grounded in the vortex—should never have existed at any time. But, in the course of trying to get his new friend Simon home, he has ended up inside the Timebase, and finds that Professor Camille Avalea and her crew are losing their grips on their real lives. Within a few hours of their arrival, the TARDIS crew are becoming part of this same insidious web—and when Simon is abducted by invaders to the station, Maggie can barely remember he was there.

Avalea must retain control of the Timebase, and fend off the attacks of Commander Mordecai, who leads a ragtag band of humans on a time-ravaged planet and wants to use the Timebase to regain the lives that have been erased from time altogether. With the TARDIS itself affected by the station, and history contorting and collapsing itself around its existence, can the Doctor reset time, undo the damage, and ensure the crew and the Commander are not written out of history in the process?

TIMEBASE will be available to download as a free PDF download which can be read on your PC, laptop, tablet or e-Reader.

Kaylaar has been haunted by visions of the Koilaran Great Prophet, Katlannu. Unable to explain the visions, the Doctor reluctantly agrees to return his friend home to Koilara. There, they find unrest and disquiet.

The planet’s ruling Prelatory Triumvirate bicker among themselves. They suspect Kaylaar of abandoning their principles. And other Frenazzi are having the same visions as Kaylaar—and the rulers accuse these victims of making trouble.

When Kaylaar escapes and follow Katlannu’s commands to journey to the forbidden tunnels beneath their city, Maggie must follow her friend into the unknown and the Doctor must unlock the purpose of Katlannu’s messages.

The University of East Essex. Affluent, modern, and well regarded. A great place to study. Except of course for the deaths. There are students who graduate. There are students who drop out. And then there are students who die. Horribly, frequently and in inexplicable circumstances. The only link? A strange man dressed in a smart black suit. Yet while blood flows freely all around them, those on campus go on as if all is right in the world…

September 2022: Jess Klebitz is not fooled. She is not sucked in by the illusion of normality. She alone sees what others cannot. Profoundly deaf from the earliest age, Jess is resolute. She will not be cowed. She will not submit. She will stand her ground. And if – if – the opportunity arises…she will fight back.

April 2023: Arriving on campus, the Doctor, Maggie and Kaylaar come under immediate attack from forces unknown. Battling through physical and emotional hardships that push them to their very limits, the trio must find a way to bring the age-old killing spree to a final end….

THE HORROR OF COUNT WAMPYR
BY Hamish Crawford


It is 1933, and the Doctor has taken Maggie and Kaylaar to New York’s legendary Stork Club to enjoy the repeal of Prohibition and take in a show. But their holiday is interrupted by a grisly attack on a chorus girl, leaving two bite marks on her neck.

This event carries a sinister connection to Aubrey Warner, who has recently travelled to Greece on an archaeological expedition, and returned with a strange illness. Warner’s mentor, Professor Erasmus, assures his family and his fiancée Juliet Gleeson that there is nothing to fear. But they have even less reason to take the Professor’s word when they meet the mysterious Count Wampyr.

At this stage it goes without saying that vampires are abroad in the Big Apple, and the not-so-legendary Wampyr intends to lead them back from the (Un)dead. But someone from another time is aiding the Count’s foul resurrection, and this could give him the advantage he needs to win a final victory against the Time Lords.

THE HORROR OF COUNT WAMPYR will be available to download as a free PDF download which can be read on your PC, laptop, tablet or e-Reader.

During a faux séance beneath a coffee house, authentic ghosts suddenly appear to the shock of both the audience and the magician. Meanwhile, the Doctor and Maggie are dragged by a disturbance in the Vortex to make an emergency landing behind the coffee shop. With assistance from Phil (the magician) and Heather (the proprietor of the coffee house), the Doctor traces the source of the disturbances to a long-forgotten project from the 1940’s that involving time manipulation. Those experiments misfired decades ago and the effects are rippling forward in time. Now the Doctor and Maggie must stop that ill-conceived experiment before it destroys both the present and future as well.

Hamish Crawford and Matt Tovey return following on from their Season 43 contributons, while Homeward is Bob Furnell’s first contribution since 2009 with Questions in Season 35.

JUN 24/23: THE FURY HAS BEEN UNCHAINED
"The fury has been unchained."

Re-discovered in early 2023, Fury Unchained this previously believed lost TDWP story finally sees the light of day. Written by longtime TDWP contributor John Swogger, Fury has been stored on a CD-RW disc for over 20 years, lost and almost forgotten about. But now, TDWP fans finally get to enjoy this new story.

Once, rigs like Rig Delta Seven One could be found all over the northern expanses of the Pacific Ocean, drilling for oil and lining the pockets of the Delta Petroleum company. In these more enlightened times, they sit empty and purposeless, to be carefully decommissioned by Professor Caroline McAllistie and her team of experts so they can do more damage. Caroline believes her greatest challenges are from her corporate-minded colleague Leo Kwouk, who would prefer the rig to be swallowed into the sea and who fears the reprisals of the extreme environmentalist organizations in the area.

But then Caroline finds the body of a fisherman, his flesh enveloped in seaweed and apparently merging with it to create a new and terrifying lifeform. Also on the scene is a mysterious beachcomber called the Doctor.

The Doctor has come prepared. He knows this seaweed is a manifestation of a foe he defeated long ago—but whose origin and purpose he has come to understand more deeply in the intervening lifetimes. However, another malefactor lurks in the background, who intends to unleash the Fury purely to enjoy the chaos it will wreak on Earth.

Fury Unchained can be downloaded as a FREE PDF which can be read on your PC, laptop, e-Reader and/or tablet.

This story features the Seventh Doctor in the sequel to "Fury From The Deep".

JUN 3/23: SIX FOR 45
As many of our readers are aware, 2024 will see The Doctor Who Project celebrate it’s twenty-fifth year publishing original fan written Doctor Who adventures. Plans for the season continue to develop and so far we have lined up five new stories as part of the Anniversary Season.

Season 45 is scheduled for publication in early 2024.

A typical TDWP ‘season’ has usually consisted of six stories and with only five stories lined up so far for the season, we’d really like to continue the tradition of featuring six.

With this in mind, we’re letting writers know we’re on the hunt for one more story.

The first draft deadline will be sometime in mid-September 2023.

The only requirements for the story is that it features the current TARDIS team of the Eleventh Doctor and Maggie.

If you’re interested in contributing to the season, please contact us at thedoctorwhoproject@shaw.ca.

So come on all you Doctor Who writers, we’d love to hear from you.

MAY 12/23: COMING MAY 20 - THE SECRET OF ARABELLE
Debuting Saturday May 20 is an all new Brief Encounters adventure The Secret of Arabelle from the pen of Michael Baxter.

In this First Doctor adventure, The TARDIS materialises in a crowded marketplace. The Doctor, John and Gillian wander round the stalls. Gillian sees an item she likes on a jewellery stall and goes to find her grandfather, hoping he will buy it for her. When the travellers arrive at the stall a different vendor is selling lengths of cloth and there is no sign of any jewellery. A fanfare sounds and a jolly-faced, portly man arrives on the scene. This is King Salter, ruler of the kingdom of Arabelle, who invites the TARDIS crew to a sumptuous feast in his castle. Strangely, the food turns out to have no taste. The Queen is a proud, haughty woman who is plotting with the King’s nephew, Basil of Cruett. Then, alarmingly, the dining hall slips out of focus. When it clarifies, the Queen has become a pleasant, homely little woman and Basil no longer exists. The Doctor suddenly realises where they are and what is inevitably going to happen. Can they reach the TARDIS before Arabelle ceases to exist?

The Secret of Arabelle will be available to downloaded as a FREE PDF which can be read on your PC, laptop, e-Reader and/or tablet.

Keep tuned to our website for further updates and information.
