If you're on the fence about entering: trust me, you should enter. Good things happen when you do.

It's that time of year again - and I am incredibly envious of the winner this year, getting the chance to write a 13th Doctor story! Good luck everyone!

Remembering @bigfinish.bsky.social ‘s Paul Spragg today, and thinking of everyone who knew him.

As a Stanley Parable lover I am definitely vibing with Severance.

I would do ANYTHING to write for this. ANYTHING. deadline.com/2025/04/desp...

They have officially banned trans women from playing Pool in the UK The organisation in charge of the decision cited the recent supreme court ruling, which didn't actually rule on this at all The true level of anti-trans insanity in the UK, fully supported by all major political parties

Re: opportunities. Get ready for the @bigfinish.bsky.social Paul Spragg Memorial Short Trip Opportunity 2025, the tenth year of this open competition to write a #DoctorWho audio story. Watch out for announcement on Thursday 8 May, including this year's theme, guidelines and submission deadline.

It's not every day that your Doctor Who story gets favorably compared to Steven Moffat! Thanks for the write-up of #BigFinish #talesfromthevortex #AheadOfTime, #DoctorWhoMagazine!

So proud of my pal for this.

"[When I Say Run is] delightfully creative... Without a doubt the highlight of the set." Who Review, you've made me cry. who-review.com/2025/04/21/r...

As Keir Starmer does a “trans women are men” media tour today, I hope people think about that time he invoked the memory of Brianna Ghey in Parliament as part of a gotcha for Rishi Sunak. Abusing her memory for PR whilst plotting to remove the rights she would’ve had to live as herself. He’s sick.

Apropos of something I read in a Discord server today: please don't pirate my stuff. Thanks.

When I Say Run coming out has really made me want to write some prose again. Think I might attempt that novel that's been tickling the back of my mind for the last couple of years.

Pennies are essentially worthless. But if I stole 7 billion of them from Mark Zuckerberg, I think he’d call that theft. If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, you’re not in busiess — you’re in organized crime.

Cheers Andrew!

This is where your Harry Potter money goes

My first Official Doctor Who story is OUT NOW! GERONIMO!!!

In the fall of 1966, Suzy hides out in her grandmother’s cabin in Big Sur. Her one rule: be inside before nightfall, when the Watchers come. Her comfortable isolation collapsed with the arrival of an unwanted face from her past, and two mysterious strangers.

Been waiting for this day for weeks, and the end result did not disappoint. That's right, I've completed my tax return for last year. Anything else I should be excited for?

Among everything else that’s cruel and wrong about this exchange, I just feel like imaginative empathy is basically the number one qualification I have for any novelist, and if you don’t have that…

The Your Lie in April musical album finally came out and I've had it on repeat all weekend. Seriously underrated show and I was so sad it closed early. 'Perfect' was one of the best numbers I've ever heard and it's killed me I've couldn't hear it again... Until now!!

I can't remember what I said but I hope it's insightful and informative!

For the first time with a #DoctorWho Short Trips collection there are behind-the-scenes interviews for every story. Well over an hour of bonus material for no extra cost. Plus a downloadable PDF for purchasers. Order from @bigfinish.bsky.social here: www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/d...

If you are at university you may have access to this.

Bluesky hive mind! Do any of you out there happen to have have access to the Mergent corporate database? I am researching a company for a thing and have been directed towards it by the British Library - they currently can't access it as they're still rebuilding systems from their cyberattack.
