New article: Eighth Doctor's Companions!

I've not added every single one of them yet, because I still need to read and listen to more of the media for each companion...but since I have so much experience on the TV Movie, I figured I could go ahead and release profiles for the two TV Movie companions.

Also, I'm working on my Wacky Theory (TV Movie symbolism) article, and having trouble with how to format it. It's currently formatted like this:
  • Story/plot point = real life event that this could be based on
  • Character attitude = attitudes of real people involved with the film
  • Story/plot point = real life event that this could be based on
  • Character attitude = attitudes of real people involved with the film
  • Story/plot point = real life event that this could be based on
  • Character attitude = attitudes of real people involved with the film
...but the long list point format is so clunky and hard to read through. Any advice on how to visually format this to be less imposing would be awesome.

I have not watched Doctor Who, but my friends rave about it! I am excited to see another Live Action shrine!

Your introduction is great as usual, and I love the layout and presentation. Great job with this so far, Robin! <3

@Todd: THANK YOU! Glad you're liking it so far!!

I still need to work on my text formatting :( I keep trying to format my articles with long lists and that just ain't working for readability purposes. Bleh.

WOOOOOOOOOO I ACTUALLY DID WORK ON THIS SITE AGAIN *dramatic gasp*

Two new articles this time around:
- PTSD, the Eighth Doctor, and Me
- A Wacky Theory about the TV Movie

I'm still working on formatting these two articles, especially the Wacky Theory article. Let me know if there's a better/easier way to format the comparison table? I've been tinkering with this for like 2 months and this is the best I could come up with thus far. LOL

I love the layout how you did it and also how you divided the sections of the articles, I know not much about dr who, it is on the list to be watched at some point.

And I have to read more of your shrine because it seems really interesting.

Thank you for checking it out! I hope you get to watch some soon, it's a pretty neat show with lots of different characters and different takes on the Doctor over time. :D

Also, today I've gotten some things done (finally right?)! Check these out:
- Songs Matching the Movie
- Problems with the TV Movie
- The 13 Doctors (an Eighth Doctor Dream

I've also done quite a bit of tidying up and editing here and there, reordering article lists, adding navigation between articles as needed, etc...if you see a typo or if something looks weird, please let me know! Code bugs may have sneaked in while I was furiously typing xD

Finally fixed up What Being an Eighth Doctor Fan is Like so that it loads a little better and reads quicker/funnier! (At least it reads better to me LOL! Let me know what you think?)

Added a new page: More Beautiful Broken: Eight and the Art Form of Kintsugi. This is a really moving essay that might be the most insightful one I've written for the site thus far. Let me know what you think!

Also, I affiliated with Anise's Rory Williams site, The Last Centurion! YAY! :D :D :D

One thing I need help on: I need to find a way to organize the index page better so that the page isn't so long and drawn out. Any ideas? I've been surprisingly stumped!

I love the article, Robin! I think that it's such a unique thing to talk about. I would really love to see some specific examples in this particular essay (maybe quotes or something?) that really point out scenes where he exemplified that golden moment that helped repair his brokenness.

I like the index page, honestly! I think it's fine! :)
