The 51st Anniversary Beckons...?

[jjpor]

Okay, so activity on who_at_50 has been quite quiet of late, apart from the Series 8 reaction posts which have attracted quite a few comments. I feel like I've taken my eye off the ball a bit in other ways, and of course what made the comm such a success (to my mind at least) last year was not only the excitement of the impending 50th but also the various

I'd participate! If you're worried about people not signing up for certain eras, maybe some of us (like me *cough*) could sign up to take an underrepresented era?

It's very kind of you to offer - I may hold you to it if necessary. ;) And thanks for the vote of confidence - I will look to get something rolling within the next couple of days. By the weekend, certainly.

Ohhh, I like this idea!!

[jjpor]

I'm glad you think so! :)

What is bagsy?

Well, it's a bit of a British colloquialism which might even be restricted to my particular bit of Britain, and now that you mention it, it does sound a bit wrong, really. I suppose the best translation would be "lay claim to" or something of the sort, but more school playground-y. ;)

Sounds like a cool idea to me.

[jjpor]

I was hoping you might say that. ;)

Sounds good. I'd probably wait to make my choice until I see what eras aren't getting so much love and then choose one of them. I prefer to cover Classic Who anyway, and some of those eras would likely be underrepresented. Maybe Big Finish in particular...

Just one potential idea: I've been doing a fair amount of knitting lately and could post pics of/instructions for my new and highly problematic Torchwood scarf (not finished yet, but I'll get it done by November if it kills me!), a variation on a Seventh Doctor scarf, and whatever else I complete this month.

I'll try to get some sort of signups post up in the next couple of days or so - and I will include Big Finish/comics/novels etc as categories, as I think they deserve the exposure. So anything you wanted to sign up for would be very welcome.

And yes, please, share away with your knitting. A slightly problematic Torchwood scarf sounds highly intriguing, and I'm sure the others on the comm would think so too. :)
