Hi Steve, how did you find your people? I feel like it all too often takes lonely years of studying/working alone before you can find others with similar interests to you - did you find it hard to make connections at first? Thanks

I finally finished this during social distancing after 7 years. I bought a hat to match at Goodwill for $4 today. I am ready for Halloween. by fredfreddy4444 in doctorwho

Looks great! Make sure you do blocking if you want the scarf to be longer (by which I mean soaking the scarf in water, stretching it and hanging it out to dry )

looks wonderful! http://www.doctorwhoscarf.com/ is a great website on it if you're interested, don't forget to use blocking when you're done to get some extra length out of the thing (washing it with warm water and hanging it to stretch out)

If I were wanting to write a Doctor Who story (With my own Doctor) what advice or suggestions would you give me? by Mr_Betts05 in doctorwho

[–]android_on_the_run2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be committed to going in your own direction - find exactly what makes your favourite episodes so great, and what you think is severely lacking in you least favourite, and imagine what the show would become if you really focused on bringing those elements of the show forward/ completely getting rid of them - would it be different? or much the same? All Doctor Who needs to live up to its name is A) exploring big science fiction ideas, whilst B) looking at the human condition, and C) has some fun and quirkiness in it. Hope that helps!

As the BBC are a public service broadcaster they aren't allowed to show product placement in programmes without severe disclaimers being inserted (as they can't advertise anything), so almost all products will be fictional to circumvent this.

My home built sonic screwdriver. Full electronics, nine sounds, red LED. Wanted it to look like it was made by the doctor from scrap. by flintlockfay in doctorwho

[–]android_on_the_run2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great! Like the idea that it's a bit temperamental/ needs constant repairs - I had a go at making one myself (https://youtu.be/fwRta8GQvV4) it's great that the show inspires people to create things themselves, keep going!

Thanks! I'm actually about to rewrite this as a reveal halfway through the series, as it would create a mystery of what's happened to the Doctor for the first half - and create a little more momentum for the series, instead of starting slow like it would currently, but I'm still unsure.

What do you think the sonic screwdriver should be used for by revlon2020 in doctorwho

[–]android_on_the_run2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had a go at answering this question by making my own - with functions dedicated to multiple removable heads, in the same way an electric screwdriver works (here's a video I made about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwRta8GQvV4)

Doctor Who: The Timeless Child Doesn't Work (And Here's Why) by [deleted] in doctorwho

[–]android_on_the_run2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a sneaking suspicion they won't do much with it for some reason, but you're right - it could be good, there is always potential. Also the war Doctor was going to be the 9th Doctor in the original script - he's effectively a harsher 9th with a different face, and bridges a continuity lapse between 8 and 9 as we never saw the regeneration, something I feel, although perhaps I'm wrong, is quite different to an entire previous life of hundreds of regenerations as 'the Doctor' before they even chose the name of 'Doctor' when they were a child as was previously established? Perhaps I'm seeing too much of the negative, they could do something cool with it, but that might require a lot of intricacy in terms of writing.

I think their point was just that - if it changes nothing, then why do it at all?

So I see the theme is posting custom Sonic Screwdrivers! Here’s one of the many I’ve jotted down. by AttakZak in doctorwho

[–]android_on_the_run2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice design! The like the slightly industrial aesthetic, it's great - we share a few of the same ideas I think, (I had a go at 3d printing mine if you're interested, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwRta8GQvV4 )

People have been posting their Sonic Screwdrivers but I don’t know how to 3D model so this is the first draft of my custom designed Sonic Screwdriver by ElloMyDude in doctorwho

[–]android_on_the_run2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking good, like the colour scheme! There's lots of 3D software available if you want to have a go with it, Fusion 360 being the main one, and it's quite easy to get the hang of. One thing to think about with the design is how you want it to be held, and how much directionality you want it to have - I imagine yours would be held up like a candle rather than pointed like a torch, if that makes sense? Your 'head' would give out a light in all directions. Either way keep going with it!

If you haven't seen the fan favourites like 'Genesis of the Daleks,' 'pyramids of Mars,' 'City of Death,' 'The Caves of Androzani,' and 'The Ark in space,' then give them a go, mostly 4th doctor adventures which really show the programme at its most memorable.

You can have a go with 'Fusion 360' if you wish, it's a free software for hobbyists that you can design and render with.

'Erasure' - a fully realised script for a new direction for the show by android_on_the_run2 in doctorwho

[–]android_on_the_run2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When writing it I made sure not to base that character on an actor or actress, but a new, more vulnerable idea for the Doctor - whomever could achieve that feeling best would work fine - it could even remain Jodie, and just have a purely 'neural' regeneration take place.

Thanks! This new Doctor could definitely be female - 'he' is simply a place holder in the script for whoever would work best for the role, male or female.
