Wholanta 2017 Costume track questions and info

acciochocolate — Sat, 25 Feb 2017 21:27:48 GMT

Wholanta, formerly known as Timegate, is the Doctor Who'verse and
British media con in Atlanta, GA, USA, May 5-7, 2017. Please note the
date change, as Timegate used to take over Memorial Day weekend. For
more info, see https://wholanta.com/ .

Just to let everyone know, as director of the costume track, I'm still
working on the schedule, and will be putting out a regular call for
panellists ASAP.

However, I have two panels that I need to find panellists for right
away.

First off is the Sixth Doctor panel. We have Colin Baker attending, so I
feel sure that some Six fans will be present, and in costume. So I need
a couple of Sixth Doctor costumers!

Secondly on tap is the Tyler family panel. This is in honour of Camille
Coduri aka Jackie Tyler, Rose's mum, one of the con's new actor guests.
I'm looking for at least one Jackie, a couple of Roses, and if there's a
Pete Tyler and a Mickey Smith, I'll be happy to have one each. :)

If you're attending Wholanta and would like to be on either of these
panels, please reply or PM right away. :) Schedules need to be firmed up
by March 1st on my end, so that's why I'm sending out this early
request. :) Thanks in advance!

TimeGate 2014, the DW (and more) convention, Atlanta, GA, USA, May 23rd-25th

acciochocolate — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 22:04:46 GMT

TimeGate 2014, the Doctor Who (& more) annual convention, is taking place in Atlanta, GA, USA, over the Memorial Day weekend, May 23rd-25th. Please check out the site for a list of guests, events, hotel and travel info, memberships, and more, here: http://timegatecon.org/

If you find yourself feeling a little overwhelmed by the throngs of people at the big cons like SDCC and Dragoncon, please consider attending TimeGate. :) However, just because the con is smallish, doesn't mean that there isn't plenty to do! We have seven tracks of programming! Also: major events, with the con's guests, in the Main Ballroom, several rooms for gaming, a wonderful consuite, photo opps and autographs with the guests, an even larger dealers' room this year, fan tables, performances (musical and theatrical), a charity cabaret, a masquerade, and more.

One of the tracks, or portals as we call them at TimeGate, is the Wardrobe Portal, which is mostly about costuming/cosplaying in the Who'verse. The DW track is the Gallifrey Portal, which has the major guest events in the Main Ballroom, in addition to the fan panels in the track room.

Memberships are only $45 through May 1st; afterwards, they are $60 at the door. Check the website for member registration:

See everyone at TimeGate 2014!

Whoiconsearch Revamp

pinkfairy727 — Sun, 27 Dec 2009 23:30:40 GMT

The rules over at whoiconsearch have been revised so that you can now search for any lost piece of Whoverse art, be it an icon, banner or wallpaper. So if you are looking for that perfect Jack/Ianto banner, or if you've got a gorgeous Ianto icon but don't know who to credit then come on over to whoiconsearch. You can even request custom icons and other pieces of artwork.

Find the new rules here or on the profile page.

New Comm: Whoiconsearch

pinkfairy727 — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:28:24 GMT

Have you spent hours looking for an icon from a certain episode of Doctor Who but can't find one you like?

Do you remember seeing a specific Doctor/Rose icon but can no longer find it?

Or do you have a Martha icon and you don't know who to credit it to?

Sound familiar? If so then whoiconsearch is the comm for you.

For more details please see the comm profile.

Seeking a canon mate

sheisstilllost — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 06:41:42 GMT

Hello,

I'm looking for someone that's into the Doctor Who fandom and plays a Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor. I could do a PSL but it's mostly for a game. Please PM for more details. Thank you.

The best boyfriend ever.

ashonaut — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 06:52:34 GMT

Alright, so my boyfriend & I celebrated our second Christmas together today (yes, I realize it's a few days before Christmas, but we're both clogged up with family obligations from now until then), and.. Bless his beautiful little heart, he didn't buy me a DVD set, an action figure, a book, or a tshirt.

No, he built me a mini TARDIS to store things in.

Isn't it CUTE? The front opens and it's a little chest inside. It's entirely likely that I'll store perfume in it.

Mods, I have no idea what to tag this as? I'm sorry.

Backstage at NTAs

There's a video of the Doctor Who team (including Catherine, RTD, and Steven Moffat) backstage after the NTAs on Digital Spy.

where does this Who quote come from?

acciochocolate — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 21:38:45 GMT

Which Doctor, when and where, said the following:

"Imagine if you can, silver leaves waving above a pool of gold filled with singing fishes. Twin moons in an alien sky. If you like, I'll show them to you, and they will be, I promise you, the dullest part of the journey. Come with me and I will show you sights that you have never dreamed of. Or stay behind & regret it until your dying day."

For some reason, I'm thinking that it was said by the First Doctor, but that's been called into question. Virtual brownies (my fav thing to bake) to anyone who can tell me which Doctor, and gives the source as well.

S4 soundtrack

the_lucky_stars — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 15:56:56 GMT

Hi everyone - I have a query. Do any of you have any idea whether Silva Screen are set to release another DW soundtrack this year, following on from their releases over the last two? Their Torchwood one is out on the 22nd IIRC, but if I'm honest a Who one would be more exciting. Also, which pieces from the last year would you like to see included?

Any ideas? Thanks!

The DVD cover for the Series Four Volume Four vanilla release (episodes 4.11-4.13) has turned up on play.com - not sure if it's genuine or just provisional, but I thought I'd share anyway.

Best of series?

Well, S4/30 of Doctor Who has come and gone! I've put together a poll so we can see which episodes people enjoyed and where Series Four stands in relation to the 45 (more or less) years of great TV we've had so far.

Final Viewing Figures 4.11

the_lucky_stars — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:17:21 GMT

The final viewing figures released by BARB for 4.11, Turn Left show it as having reached a final viewing figure of 8.09 million (over 1 million rise from the overnights, awesome!) and a 4th placing in the most-watched programs for the week! This is the second highest placing ever for DW, apart from Voyage of the Damned, which reached No. 2 last December.

A fantastic result!

For denial, flailing, group therapy and happy posts when Doctor Who just isn't going your way. Because we all need support sometimes.

Posted on my personal LJ last night, so apologies for duplication.

4.11 Clips

the_lucky_stars — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 15:08:26 GMT

Just in case anyone hasn't seen them yet - three preview clips from tonight's episode of Doctor Who (starting at 6.40pm) shown on the website, GMTV and CBBC respectively.

It is believed they follow almost exactly on from each other in the order posted.

Happy Saturday!

Atlanta Gallifreyans meeting this Saturday, May 21st, at 4:30 PM

acciochocolate — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:38:07 GMT

I just wanted to remind everyone in the metro (and beyond) Atlanta area that the next meeting of the Atlanta Gallifreyans (Atlanta's own Doctor Who club) is tomorrow, Saturday May the 21st, starting at 4:30 PM at the Doraville Civic Center. (The civic center is within walking distance of the Doraville Marta station, and is a block or so away from the Buford Hiway and I-285 intersection. Directions at the AG site, below.)

Please bring one of the following: food or drink or plate and napkins and plastic cutlery with which to share with all, if you can. :)

We will be watching the last part of The Greatest Show in the Galaxy (time constraints kept us from watching all the way to to the end last month, alas). We're in the middle of watching a Seventh Doctor episode per meeting. Next up is Battlefield. We should be finished with McCoy by October at the latest, which means that we will be returning to the Third Doctor with The Three Doctors, just in time for the show's anniversary month in November! :)

The Tenth Doctor episodes that we should be watching include Silence in the Library, Forest of the Dead, and Midnight. If we are lucky, we will also be watching Turn Left! We are skipping The Wasp and the Unicorn for now, since it was just shown on the Sci-Fi Channel, so most everyone has had a chance to see it hopefully.

The site for the club is here:
http://www.atlantagallifreyans.org/
Directions are on the site.
Any further questions about the meeting, please ask here. :)
