Chicks Dig Time Lords
OMG. You guys.
It’s that time.
Remember that Super Sekrit Project I was working on from last March till May-ish?
I can talk about it now:

In Chicks Digs Time Lords, a host of award-winning female novelists, academics and actresses come together to celebrate the phenomenon that is 'Doctor Who,' discuss their inventive involvement with the show's fandom and examine why they adore the series. These essays will delight male and female readers alike by delving into the extraordinary aspects of being a female 'Doctor Who' enthusiast. Essays include Carole Barrowman discussing what it was like to grow up with her brother John (including the fact that he's still afraid of shop-window dummies), columnist Jackie Jenkins providing a Bridget Jones' Diary-style memoir of working on 'Doctor Who Magazine,' novelist Lloyd Rose analyzing Rose's changes between the ninth and tenth Doctors and much more. Other contributors include Elizabeth Bear ("Jenny Casey"), Lisa Bowerman ('Bernice Summerfield'), Mary Robinette Kowal (Shades of Milk and Honey), Jody Lynn Nye ('Mythology' series), Kate Orman (Seeing I), and Catherynne M. Valente (The Orphan's Tales). Also featured is a comic from the 'Torchwood Babiez' creators, plus interviews with 'Doctor Who' companions India Fisher (Charley) and Sophie Aldred (Ace).
Last ChiTARDIS, there was much discussion of an awesome up-coming book called “Chicks Dig Time Lords”, a compilation of essays written by female fans of the show. A couple of months went by and out of the blue, spastasmagoria and I were contacted to see if we’d be interested in writing up a piece about what it was like working on Torchwood Babiez.
HELL YES WE WERE.
We had a bit of trouble coming up with a place to start, because it’s fairly hard to co-write something. It’s even harder when your other half is in another state. That’s when rarelylynne had the brilliant idea of making it a comic rather than an essay.
You can now see why it’s taken me so long to get the latest part of Babiez done (keep your fingers crossed for Halloween!)
So yes. spastasmagoria and I have a published (or rather, soon-to-be published) comic discussing the craziness that has come into our lives known as Torchwood Babiez. In a Doctor Who-related book. HOW CRAZY IS THAT? This sort of stuff just doesn’t happen! I still can’t thank rarelylynne and taraoshea enough for getting us involved. And I can't wait to read all the other contributors' essays. I had no clue it'd be actresses and writers involved with the show!
I should also point out that I drew the cover as well. I threw in aspects of both Classic and New series (Tom Baker scarf, psychic paper, TARDIS key, 3D glasses - I have an obsession with 3D glasses, apparently - and Rose arm warmers).
Now, excuse me while I go running around, squeeing like an idiot. Sometimes, I really love this fandom. See? Good things happen when you’re a geek!
