Call for contributors for 55th anniversary special edition

Issue 21 of The Terrible Zodin is being worked on as we speak and likely to be available to download for free in August.

Meanwhile we're looking ahead to the 55th anniversary and we're looking to produce a special edition side issue of classic series reviews aimed at interested people who have not yet or have only tentatively dipped in to the original stuff.

For the purposes of this edition our definition of classic series is every broadcast story between An Unearthly Child through to Survival, plus Shada and as a bonus Dimensions in Time, K9 & Company and the two Peter Cushing movies. Please also note that we count The Trial of a Time Lord as one 14 episode story.

Review length as a guideline should be minimum 500 words and maximum 2000 for a standard 4 - 6 part story, with leeway given for stories longer than this if needed.

Reviews will be assigned on a first come first served basis so if you're interested in writing something please also give us one or two back up choices as well.

We want this special edition to appeal to people who might be coming to the original series for the first time, especially off the back of falling in love with the Thirteenth Doctor, though we of course hope that more seasoned fans will also get something out of this.

For that reason we're also really asking you to step outside your comfort zone. Don't just pick your favourite story, that's too easy; pick one that you can champion and which lets you also see the story in a new light. If you love historicals pick one set in the future. If your favourite era is Pertwee, consider a Colin Baker and so on.

Deadline for submissions is Sunday 7 October 2018. You can email us at theterriblezodinezine@yahoo.com, DM us on twitter @TerribleZodin or interact with us on the Facebook group. We'll pin a thread on the Facebook thread with a live tally of which stories have already been picked.

Can't wait to hear from you
