@Cynder the computer fairies style has a dark purple background, so at first glance I thought this was a pair of byceps with floating eyes

editor things, petty style complaints 

It frustrates me when I see people doing something that requires MORE effort, but looks worse.

If you want to refer to a range of dates, you write it like 1927–1933, using an en dash with no spaces around it.

But yesterday I saw someone write it as 1927 — 1933. It looks wrong. It uses an em dash (which is too long), and there are spaces on either side. This is harder to read, because the years are closer to the words around them than to the other year.

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] 

choosing a rating for The Faceless Ones is so difficult...

I really really want to give it a "Highly Recommended" rating, but it's partially a reconstruction. It's still incredibly tense and incredibly creepy, and really really really good, but it still.... isn't as good as it would have been.

Some of the missing stories I don't mind being missing - The Myth Makers, for example, is not very good.

But The Faceless Ones is such a good story and so so creepy...

(transcribing tsaligi into ipa is a bit weird, because whether or not a particular consonant is voiced depends on the dialect - luckily, the official transcription is pretty close to the ipa)
