Doctor Who: Lockdown! was a phenomenal period of creativity, both on and off the various livestreams, for fans and production staff alike. A chance to celebrate the show and bring together an isolated worldwide community under the same police box lantern. One such project was created with the assistance of Joshua Wanisko, author of "Farewell to Kindness" from Unbound Imaginings - Volume 1 and the inaugural Big Finish Short Trip, "Forever Fallen". Gathered alongside a bevy of other talents brought together by Selim Ulug (author of "Landbound") for something rather special -- The Eighth Day. An original tale for the Eighth Doctor and Charley Pollard, and a tribute for LGBTQ+ mental health service, MindOut. The results are nothing short of incredible and Josh has very kindly lain out his own thoughts on the behind-the-scenes of The Eighth Day on his blog here. Narrated by Conrad Westmaas (the voice of C'rizz, companion of the Eighth Doctor), illustrated by Sophie Iles (author of "A Song for Running") and sound design by Jaspreet Singh, climb aboard the TARDIS for a journey to uncover the black sheep of Time... And its shepherd. FROM THE HYPERCUBE... Fanfiction and other fan-driven media from abroad...
Tony Jones, author of the Big Finish Companion Chronicle "The Tactics of Defeat", featuring Ruth Matheson (Daphne Ashbrook) and Zoe Heriot (Wendy Padbury), is contributing new fan content for Doctor Who and short stories in general speculative fiction! As much a writer of prose fiction as audio plays, he has also contributed to Terraqueus Distributors' Unofficial Doctor Who Annual 1987, pitting the Sixth Doctor and Peri against their own dream-like imaginings, and Unofficial Master Annual 2074, where the Master falls afoul of a vault of secrets somehow linked to his unusual passengers. There's even more to be found further afield. Between engagements in relativistic time zones, he's contributed to the Castle of Horror, Volume Four: Women Running from Houses, celebrating Gothic Romance and also featuring the work of fellow Who writer Rob Nisbett (author of Big Finish Short Trips "A Heart on Both Sides" and "Intuition"). Two additional tales of Tony's can be found for free through The Infinite Bard, detailing the ongoing duel of identity between "The Princess and the Assassin" and the irrepressible charm of little memories in "Souvenir".
