MAY 13/08: AURUM IN PLUMBUM IS NOW ONLINE

After a slight delay, "Aurum In Plumbum" is now available to download in PDF format for Adobe Acrobat Reader.

An adventure in history...

Nero's Rome is in tatters - devastated by fire, now torn apart from within as various political factions vie for power.  A series of gory murders seems set to light the powder keg the city has become - unless the Doctor can find the culprit and bring him to justice. But when the list of suspects includes Gods, corrupt Senators and a criminal from the Doctor's own past, that's not going to be a simple matter.  With Silver lined up as the killer's next victim, and Nero himself in danger, time is a luxury the Doctor and his new friend Cornelius do not have.

MAY 3/08: STRANGE MEETING

Once again the Doctor's uncanny knack for landing himself in trouble manifests itself when the TARDIS arrives in war-ravaged France in David P. May's "Strange Meeting". And trouble certainly finds him in the shape of a bullet.  Silver knows all too well that if the Doctor dies, she will be trapped in the past.   The First World War is a conflict the Doctor has no desire to influence and yet, even though all he wants to do is get away quietly; his very presence there is to have a profound effect on two men on opposite sides of the battle.  Two men who will spend the rest of their lives wondering about that strange night in December 1915...

"Strange Meeting" is available to download in PDF format for Adobe Acrobat Reader for your reading pleasure.

The TARDIS brings Doctor Who and Silver to the dusty mining town of Crawford, Wyoming in the late 1880s. There they meet Daniel Edward Cayde, a hired gun with a murky past. But even worse things are roaming around town in the dark of night… As glowing green corpse’s claw their way out of the cold earth and march toward Crawford with human flesh on their otherwise empty minds, the Doctor discovers that an even greater terror lies in wait, biding its time after millennia of cold calculation. Apocalypse has arrived in Crawford, and the very forces of Time, Mind and Life are at stake. Even Doctor Who may not be able to resist the Curse of the Jade Skull!

FEB 12/08: WRITERS WANTED FOR SEASON 36
Its that time of year again. TDWP is looking for writers who'd like to pen a story for our upcoming collection of stories that will make up Season 36.

Season 36 will debut in sometime around the first half of 2009 however it'll be a slightly shorter season than the past few TDWP seasons with 5 stories, and a Christmas special following in December. (The Christmas special will also celebrate TDWP's 10th year publishing so this will indeed be a very special publication.)

Season 36 will break down as follows:

10W - Story 1 by John Gordon
10X - Story 2
10Y - Story 3
10Z - Story 4
11A - Story 5

11B - 2009 Christmas Special/TDWP 10th Anniversary Story (may introduce new companions)

The first story of the season - Story 10W - will be written by John Gordon who will be tying up the loose ends from the end of Season 35.

The following 4 stories (10X-11A) will see the Doctor travelling alone but each story will try to answer the overall theme of the season of "Why does the Doctor need companionship? Why does he always seem to have companions and primarily those from Earth?"

Following on in December 2009 will be the 2009 Christmas Special. This story will not only celebrate the Christmas season but also focus on 10 Years of TDWP as 2009 marks 10 Years of Publication for TDWP.

If you're interested in submitting an idea for the season we'd love to hear from you. However we ask that each writer submit your idea in the form of a story proposal. The proposal can be as detailed and as lengthy as you like but should give us a good idea of what your story is about, who are the main characters, how it addresses the theme for the story. Proposals should be submitted to us as a Word or Rich Text document attached to an email. Btw, feel free to submit as many story proposals as you'd like.

You will find an bio outline of our Ninth Doctor on the TDWP site by clicking
here.

We are now accepting story proposal submissions right up till the deadline of March 1st. We will then review all the submissions and make our choice for those stories to be part of the Season 36 lineup by March 15. If you story proposal is accepted for publication, we will expect writers to deliver a first draft and final draft to set deadlines.

If would like to submit your story proposal(s) or would like additional information, please contact us at
jigsawpublications@yahoo.ca.

Look forward to hearing from you.

FEB 12/08: TDWP BRIEF ENCOUNTERS
The Doctor Who Project is looking for writers for an ongoing series of short stories.

What is Brief Encounters?

The concept of Brief Encounters is to publish on the TDWP website a series of short stories set within the universe of TDWP.

The stories will feature classic Doctor/Companion pairings from the original television series (up to Survival), and from the ongoing adventures of the Eighth and Ninth incarnations as published by TDWP.

Each series of stories will form anthologies which will be published between the end of the ongoing TDWP series and the Christmas specials (this will usually be during the Autumn/Winter).

Story Requirements

1) Stories must be original whilst also fitting within established continuity.
2) The stories will be around 5,000 words in length.
3) The use of established enemies/monsters should be avoided. We would rather have exiting new characters and monsters featuring in the stories rather than using established ones.
 
Interested in contributing?

If you are interested in contributing to TDWP: Brief Encounters then please send your story submissions to BriefEncounters@lifeisacabaret.co.uk . Submissions should contain the following:

1) The Doctor and companion that the story concerns
2) Details of key characters/monsters
3) A brief synopsis of the story

First time contributors to The Doctor Who Project should also attach a sample of their prose style, in a word document.

If your story proposal is accepted by the editorial team then you will be invited to join the TDWP Artist and Writers forum where you will be able to discuss yours and others stories with fellow contributors.

Thank you for reading and I look forward to reading your proposals.

Join the Ninth Doctor, Silver and Mortimer as they celebrate the season with this new adventure for the holiday season.

Oh, and the shady Captain Magnus Khan wants a word. Perhaps his friends Doctor Smith and Miss Silverstein can help?  Festive mood is in short supply as the three face killer robots, hungry giants and ghosts from the past. And all before they've even had time to open their presents.  Together, maybe our heroes can save the world and be home in time for the turkey. After all, Christmas is a time for miracles.

  • Our current project team consists of the TDWP Ninth Doctor and travelling companions Rachel "Silver" Silverstein and Mortimer, the TARDIS cat.
  • TDWP stories take place in the Doctor Who universe created in the original 1963-89 television series.
  • We don't use any ideas, plot threads, companions, monsters, etc created/used in Doctor Who comics, the Virgin New & Missing Adventures novels, the BBC novels (PDA, EDA, NDA), the 1996 television movie, or in the current television series produced by BBC Wales.
  • TDWP stories are generally in the 12,000-40,000 word range.  
  • TDWP has always been about originality and remaining true to the spirit of the original television series. We have always strived to be innovative and original.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, we want to hear from you.  Send us an email telling us about yourself, a sample of any fiction you've written and any ideas you might have for a possible story.

 

If you'd like more information on the types of stories we're looking for, please check out our contributors information on this website.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.
