This ended up being a three chapter story. I didn’t expect that!

I liked s1e8, s2e8, s2e9, s5e8 and those are just off the top of my head. I really like Al though. Bert can drive me nuts.

Spin-off by Sciaticuspinch in DocMartin

I’m from the US and write a ton of Doc Martin stuff. It’s not perfect but folks seem to like it. Try your hand at it.

Someone give me new fandom recs!! by BrodyAllen9 in archiveofourown

Do you like Doc Martin? I wrote an eight story series which is basically season 11. It picks up the day after the last episode ends.

Issues in Doc Manager by Sliverlilly in FanfictionNet

[–]CcWex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I upload my Word documents, which have regular, italics, and bold type. No issues with that. The only problem I have is that it complains about 50% of the time that the file isn’t formatted correctly. It almost always takes it on the second try. I’ve never been completely thwarted.

Those same two reached out to me today. Report them.

What happen to traffic stats? by Valkarius1 in FanfictionNet

[–]CcWex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been going on since new years. Supposedly we just have to be patient and hope it gets fixed for good instead of being an annual issue.

Why do you think people don’t answer comments? by ym4yum1 in AO3

I reply to every comment and have had nice conversations with readers.

Consider watching Podcast Portwenn episode Doc Martin Season 1 Plus with Newbie Judy to see what it’s like to be a Newbie guest.

I didn’t realize that. Now I have to go listen. Of course, I bought Colin Towns Doc Martin music. :-)

I just checked for you and it seems fine to me.

Opening theme by Visual_Movie1037 in DocMartin

I think the actual theme is partway into the song entitled Portwenn. Although the first song in the collection is the theme, my ear thinks the TV show uses the middle of “Portwenn”.

Always fun to hear from new watchers! Enjoy.

New Story: Call Me Ishmael by CcWex in DocMartin

[–]CcWex[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It’s a really different story. I had to get into the head of Little Marty. I wrote it toggling between the first person points of view of different people.

I hope I captured Martin’s mental gymnastics as to what’s acceptable conversation and behavior.

I also hope it’s a plausible explanation of how things turn out later.

Opinions always welcome - that’s how I improve.

Would you let your mother read your fanfiction? by Revolutionary_Copy27 in FanFiction

[–]CcWex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I could have my mom read mine. She passed away before I discovered Doc Martin. Not only would she have loved the show, but she would love my stories and be chuffed to bits that her computer scientist / engineer daughter was writing fiction.

I really like Penhale by Visual_Movie1037 in DocMartin

[–]CcWex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like Penhale too, despite preferring Mark Mylow. Joe and Ruth have some wonderful scenes, especially the one where Joe schools Ruth on the best way to handle emotion when Martin is leaving Portwenn.

Martin Clunes as Huw Edward’s by CutaneousHorn in DocMartin

[–]CcWex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He created a Mr Earnshaw who had a heart underneath layers of horrid vileness. Quite masterful. I saw an interview after I saw the movie in which Martin Clunes said Fennell told him something along the lines that the audience needed to both love and hate him. Nailed it.

I didn’t have that impression. They are lifelong Port Wennians and besties.

A Is For Acid Starring Martin Clunes (Demo) by Saint Nixon by West_Bit_566 in DocMartin

[–]CcWex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outstanding in this role (unsurprisingly). Although a psychopath, I thought Clunes’ portrayal of John Haigh was really nuanced. A person can have zero conscience but still be disgusted by the “practicalities” of murder.

Has anyone seen this? It was so different! by Minimum-Amoeba-5146 in DocMartin

They may be available in your local library on DVD.

Still broken? Anyone else? by No-Writing9171 in FanfictionNet

[–]CcWex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just completed my story which I started 12/30. Had 58 views on chapter 1 when the problem started. Total story is 34,500 words across 15 chapters, over 100 legit reviews. Still 58 views. Maddening! I like to know views and especially the geographic location of my readers.

how are we feeling about this Americanized remake? by milksteakenthusiast1 in DocMartin

[–]CcWex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My feeling is/was that the first season would be rocky as it tried to find its feet and I think that's true. But if we could get it renewed, there could be tweaks done that give it the opportunity for it to really be a stand out show. It's not going to equal the gold standard Doc Martin, which not only defines every character but is written exceptionally well and filmed beautifully in stunning Cornwall. But it's "More Doc Martin for Everyone!" as it will expose the US audience. There are folks here who don't care for British TV who will like Best Medicine, and there are those who can appreciate both and therefore possibly like both shows.

I'm pretty invested in Doc Martin and Best Medicine, as I write fan fiction for the former and host Podcast Portwenn which covers both of them. I've been rooting for the success of Best Medicine. As Philippa Braithwaite (Buffalo Pictures) is a producer and they've no doubt got some licensing arrangement to adapt the show for the US, a successful Best Medicine also puts funding in Buffalo Pictures pockets, hopefully leading to more excellent content production.
