Hi, Yep I'm still working on the video section. Spoke the missus and she said you could work through doing synopsis's for the Big Finish audios. Also I can help, with getting info regarding the new audios and tv eps. Hopefully we can work together well, and get the guide back up to date. Andy I am looking forward to hearing from you soon Dom

I would like to become a moderator as I have been coming here a lot of the time providing news of what is currently going on in the Whoniverse and other things. Congratulation, you are now the new moderator Thank you it is quite an honour to accept this position. I have to say I was reticient about asking to be a moderator as that meant losing my posting status to how much I have posted and replaced by Global Moderator. My posts is more than 1500 which meant my posting status was Cardinal. So out of curiousity Dom what came after Cardinal in the posting status.

Losing the ranking is also why I gave personalised title to staff members. Yours is currently Lord Chancellor, unless you want to be known otherwise

Andy I am looking forward to hearing from you soon Dom Hi, Do you have a rough list of what is outstanding for the guide. or maybe what places each medium is up to ie Main Range BF has Lurkers as its last one completed. And I suppose you know who is doing what for synopsis. Don't want to start duplicating work. On a side issue I mentioned awhile ago on a different thread, that 54 Inferno was in the guide twice. I am getting married shortly, so won't be able to get started straight away helping with other bits, as will be bit busy. But I intend to help you get the guide up to date. Just need to know where to start with bits. The Video section is ongoing at present. PS an idea I had, is it possible to split the guide into separate pages for each doctor, as it takes an age for my mobile phone to load the main page, as it a little big, lol. Andy

Regarding synopsis, nobody is working on the Big Finish audios right now. I am in the process of updating the main pages with all announced releases up to now (for instance I have added pages for the regular BF audios until release 153 in November). I'd need information for the new stuff announced for release. I am not sure I want to split the main page -- I like it that way. Dom

How about putting the season breaks in, to split the doctors up a bit, as I mentioned just an idea, go with what you feel is best. Was thinking I'd get the missus to go through the BF Short Stories Vol 1 - 3, and they are reasonable short and get more info up quicker.

We seem to be getting a bit complicated as far as these threads go. Perhaps we need to merge the old Synopsis Amnesty with this one and the Who's doing What. That way we could get a decent idea of what needs to be done and who is actually doing it.
If you mean the BF Short Trips Vol 1-3, I've already sent in synopses of volumes 1 and 2 but I won't be able to do vol 3 until September so feel free to do that one if you like.

I feel a bit a shamed that I haven't been able to help out as much as I can either. I was happy to help on the 1968 Annual when I did. Over the last few years I've become fairly busy with work.
However I can still offer ideas. My first one is, where do we think the Seventh Doctor Lost Stories should go. I believe the most appropriate place would be between Citadel Of Dreams & Illegal Alien.

Cool, will tell the missus to do BF audio Short trips Vol 3.

Illegal Alien was originally scheduled for season 27, so should be a Lost Story, but made into a book, so possibly. But I would say between survival and genocide machine, unfortunately I not read the stories in between.

I would love to help again but there's not much time. For one, the Matt Smith era is for me, the worst and it's almost made me not a fan. Second, I find synopsis boring to do and write unless they are done well and then it takes a lot of detail and time and rechecking. Third, I'm writing a huge DW story that is involving a lot of time and research.
I will say some of the spinoffs (especially Dark Horizons) are very well done and written. The audios are variable, some are great, some are so so and some are just plain boring and awful (Boy Who Forgot Time was a horrible mess).
I just don't find synposises creative writing so it's hard going sometimes. I supposed I could turn in brief things but...not sure that's going to go over so well. I also turned in some stuff from BATTLES IN TIME-about the Daleks that never got used or put in the timeline anywhere so not sure if my efforts are in the right direction. That was years ago now. I love this site...it's the best DW site on the net but it's very behind now and I know it's a hard job ...

If anybody would like to take over the much needed update of the website, I would gladly keep only the task of uploading the files.
To be honest I have just finished watching the Matt Smith series after being away for a couple of series. It's like I am slowly coming back to Doctor Who after a long sleep... But there si so much materials that is published monthly apart from the TV episodes that I don't feel to spent so much time on the Reference Guide.
If there was a few serious people willing to share the work into bringing the website to date, I would probably give it a go.
But I am not optimistic...

Hi, oops! As a new member here I oops! posted a similar-topic note in a PM to boies himself, sorry.
The point does stand, though, that not only are the TV stories not updated, but new novels, such as "Equilibrium", Wheel of Ice", etc.
The last couple of Matt Smith TV stories need updating.
Also, I have a puzzle that's bugging me: Dave Stone wrote some "New Adventures", saying that Death and Diplomacy was part of a Trilogy, but which are the other two of this Trilogy?
And, when I read McIntee's "First Frontier", I tried to come up with a floorplan for The Master's "new" TARDIS, but, the way McIntee describes it, there are 3 or 4 different ways to have it.
Yes, I'm one of those "props" fans, such as the TARDIS Rebuilders, etc.....trying to set up a floorplan because I like to draw schematics, etc.....
Thank you for reading this, and as a new member, I hope I've not made too many goofs, thank you!

Reading from TARDIS wiki, Death and Diplomacy was the second part in a trilogy, the others being Sky Pirates! & Oblivion.
