omg

hmm... I'm concerned that my tense/aspect/mode system is unconciously tending towards the way Germanic languages work.

Does anyone have any good references for Tense and Aspect systems that aren't like English? Either from the perspective of creating a conlang, or from grammars of real languages.

I've noticed a trend in the early Big Finish dramas: the 5th Doctor Stories center around ghosts or spirits.

Phantasmagoria involved a ghost vacuuming people up in 1700s london.

The Land of the Dead involves First Nations beliefs about the spirts of the land causing ancient creatures to wake up from hibernation.

(Red Dawn wasn't about ghosts or spirits.)

Winter for the Adept features a poltergeist haunting a school.

I've been playing a bunch of Antimatter Dimensions

I've been enjoying it, (but it's got some very "gamer memes" vibes in the news ticker and achievements, which is a bit weird.)

The thing about it that I find interesting is that it's about "reset, but"

So a lot of the things you build up to are "doing this resets the game entirely and you lose all progress, but with slightly modified starting stats"

meep!

Thinking back over Season 9, and I'm probably going to downgrade The Time Monster to a "maybe", because thinking back on it in retrospect I'm realising that it was a confused mess and lots of things didn't make much sense or were boring.

Like the Master summoning someone from atlantis to help him control Kronos, and then immediately revealing that he can already control Kronos....

Or the Doctor creating a time interference device from some cutlery and a wine bottle...

...or, maybe I should?

now I don't know...

I've decided to follow the same rules as the tardis wiki:

https://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/T:CAN

So the unlicensed BBV audio dramas that feature The Professor (Sylvester Mccoy) and Ace (Sophie Aldred) won't be in the guide.

I'm mostly doing this because if I need to draw a line somewhere, otherwise where do I stop?

For example, should I put the Doctor Who Crossover Adventures (featuring Discworld and Xena characters) in the guide? http://www.crossovers.org/doctor-who/

I like them, but.... no

hmm, I started listening to one of the BBV not-really-cannon audio dramas, and it's quite good... maybe I *should* add the non-cannon ones to the guide...
