Mark Your Calendars!

Alright, internets, I admit it. I've been a fool.

Bernice Summerfield has grown on me. I think perhaps the fact that the last (and first) time I tried to tackle the NAs, I was in a very bad headspace about Who - very much the grumpy fan who didn't want to see "her" Who changed in any way - which is a stupid point of view, really. I plead youth and, er, stupidity.

I've since dabbled my toes into the NAs again and I've enjoyed them quite a lot - although I realize that I need to read them in something approximating publication order and starting with Happy Endings is going about things in entirely the wrong way. But it has such a jolly cover, I had to read it. Ah well, it's not the first time I've tackled a series ass-backwards. At the moment, I'm reading Dry Pilgrimage for no reason other than I happened to pick up a copy of it over the weekend and so it was close to hand.

Unfortunately, this means there's going to be another BFA monkey on my bank. I've listened to some excerpts of the Bernice Summerfield stories and between that and seeing Lisa Bowerman at Gallifrey (she's off the guest list for Chicago, boo!) I think they'll be worth a go. Unfortunately, there's no way in hell I can afford them right now. With luck, by the time money loosens up enough for such frippery, BF will offer 'em for download, rather than my having to shell for a CD I'll crack open precisely once, to rip to iTunes and then never touch again...

So, yeah, another aspect of Who has sunk its claws into me. ;)

Ooookay

I apologize for the heart attack I might have given renn earlier today...

Just to clear things up: according to CT website, Lisa Bowerman is still on (yay!). I based my assumption that she had dropped out on the flier I received from Alien Entertainment in my monthly mailing.

I mean, if I'm able to go, it's not like I'm going to change my mind based on Ms. Bowerman's presence or lack thereof, but it would be nice to see her again.
