Fiction

Doctor Who: Time Lapse by Naomi Alderman

So, as you may or may not remember, the project that began as 11 Doctors 11 Stories in 2013 was extended to 12 Doctors 12 Stories in 2014 after the Twelfth Doctor came along. Five years later, there was a Thirteenth Doctor too, and so they took the chance to republish the whole thing yet again be sure to cover all the Doctors, even the newest (except for the War Doctor, anyway) — and so now we have 13 Doctors, 13 Stories. Maybe they'll expand it again in 2024 for the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Doctors. If they do, it would be nice if they went back and plugged the gaps of the War and Fugitive Doctors, wouldn't it? Though I guess 15 Doctors, 17 Stories sounds a bit weird; as does 17 Doctors, 17 Stories when we're only up to the Fifteenth Doctor.

Anyway, as this is the final story in the series for now, that makes it the end of my celebratory 60th anniversary marathon! ...right? Well, actually, I've got a couple of other things to cover first...
