Guidelines

Publisher: ATB Publishing

With the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who on the horizon, it's time to do something different. Over the decades, we've all heard the standard opinions on these episodes. With "Outside In Regenerates", the aim is simple: say something different. Something interesting. Or something completely gonzo.

This could be a perspective no one's thought of, as part of a straight review. Or it could be an interesting take on the process of reviewing itself. It could be a perspective from within the fiction or from outside, done in an unusual fashion. Basically, anything OTHER than a straight review of the story. Usually, the best approach is to pick an angle and go for it. And for goodness' sakes, try and be funny.

Previous volumes dealt with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Classic and New Doctor Who, Classic Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation. In these volumes, we saw mix tapes, mazes, recipes, speeches, games, songs and crosswords... There were also articles with cutting-edge insights — although the very best pieces are those that can do both, of course. So don't hold back.

Here we're revisiting Classic Doctor Who on the grounds that the original volume was quite different compared to what the Outside In series evolved into. Plus, it's our tenth anniversary, if you can believe it! The only constraint: if you wrote for the first volume, you can't do the same story as last time.

The wordcount is 800–1000 words, and the deadline is four weeks from the date you claim your story. If you want to play outside the parameters of the wordcount, I'm open to it, but you'll need to justify it.

Word to the wise: choose your story based on having something to say, rather than just because you love it. And if you go with a creative format, then make sure you have an actual argument within that. The idea is to make people stop in surprise a your point... but then never be able to watch the episode again without thinking of what you raised.

First step: once you pick your story, send me a one-paragraph summary of your idea. If you prefer, you may pick multiple stories and/or multiple ideas, and I'll choose the best one. If you want some examples of the sort of things we've done before, check out our mini entry on Star Trek Picard's first season.

A few things to include in the entry itself:

• Please include a snappy title, one that does not share any words in common with the episode title.
• You should include a one-line biography at the end. It can be descriptive, funny or related to your piece.

• Don't just rehash the plot from a different perspective, unless you have something new to add or the perspective is REALLY different. (Even then, probably don't do this. You still need some commentary.)
• Keep any plot summary to an absolute minimum; you can assume that the reader will be familiar with the plot (and if not, that's what Wikipedia is for).
• Don't just write a fanfic story; have an actual argument. At the end of the day, this is a book of reviews (however disguised), so give us some commentary.
• No copyright images.
• No poems.

Also, a note about payment: For previous volumes of Outside In, everybody (including the designer and editor) donated their fees to Avert, a UK-based AIDS charity. I'd like to do the same again this time. Hopefully that's okay by you, but I quite understand if it isn't and you want to bow out.

So put your thinking cap on. In previous volumes, we saw plays, surveys, crosswords, games, cartoons, obituaries, policy documents, D&D manuals, documentaries, term papers and a Turing machine. These are just a few of the many ways in which something interesting can be expressed. Like Doctor Who itself, the only limit is your imagination.

Now impress me.
