“Something moved in the dark, heavy and wet like a bathtub full of worms.”

That’s Good Stuff™️.

PART THREE: EXIT WOUNDS

“What’s gone, and what’s past help should be past grief” -William Shakespeare

This is REALLY kicking off now. It’s so gnarly!

I think I am starting to understand the appeal of the Fifth Doctor.

PART TWO: CRASH AND BURN.

We got Space Vampyrs now y’all!

Now this is starting to cook and it’s very Nyssa/Tegan heavy, so I’m having an obviously shippy blast.

There have also been two really awesome First Doctor gags (mentions of the fluid-link and fault detector) so I think I made the right choice starting this finally.

A dice roll decided between this and Asylum from the Past Doctor Adventures (which I have read before but like as a teen). Also because I’ve still seen/heard frighteningly little Fifth Doctor.

But this has started out pretty fun! The introduction from Baxendale is great (this was his first novel for the PDA range!) and it’s sold the ethos of Davison pretty well so far. I hope the Tegan/Nyssa stuff is good.
