The darkness broke the haze of sleep cleared as Aria woke. She breathed deep the air, recognizing the sweet warmth of rose scented candles. She stretched and opened her eyes to the soft orange of candle light. Her ribs felt tight and compact like a giant vice had been slipped around her waist, back, and […]
There always seems to be one question in every Whovian’s mind: Should I go back to the beginning? What did I miss? Do I really need to watch anything prior to the 9th Doctor? Many wish they could just ask a viewer who did go back…who knows. I’ve spoken to Americans and a number of […]
“Alright! Line up!” Angela shouts over the voices crammed into her head. “Shut up, guys!” The rabble quiets down as Angela catches the mischief in Bergen’s eyes. “Behave, Bergen.” Today, we have readers to meet, people to love, and polls to take.
