2.0

After errata had been pointed out to me, you can now download TTZ7 v.2.0, hopefully correct, below, and hopefully soon we'll put it up on that menu to the left.

the moment has been prepared for!

After a very long wait, TTZ7 is done and available for download.

This time around, we focus a bit on the most recent TV series, but there are lots of other treats, too. There is part two of the interview with Rob Shearman, part one of the interview with Paul Cornell, Raggedy Doctor & Amy paper dolls by Liz Wride, book reviews, and miscellaneous stuff. Of course we are really proud of the Panel of 13 which introduces new writers and LOTS of new artists.

I am really grateful to all the new artists, so let me just quickly give them a plug here: Jonny Eveson, Sharon Bautista, Simon Bromley, Alies Bruinsma, Draculasaurus, Michael Clarke, Michael Gilroy-Sinclair, Matt Harris, Daniela Illing, Lady Yate-xel, James Random, Hannah Rothman and Jessica Taylor (did I miss anyone?!).

Everyone involved was such a big help, so give yourselves a pat on the back.

You may notice that the footer/page numbering is different. The same bug with Word that I encountered last issue reared its ugly head, so the only way I could save the 51-page document was to paste it into a new file without the pre-existing footer/numbering system. It looks ugly but for the moment it will suffice. Sorry.

No doubt there are typos, widows, orphans, and mis-formatting; please alert me to these (in a polite fashion!). Better yet, do let us know what you think of this issue--good, bad, ugly, etc.

Thank you for reading and very much hope you enjoy.

Let me thank again my regular editing team (Lori Jansen, Steven Sautter, Jamie Beckwith, and Evan Keraminas) for their stellar help.

Am now going to sleep. My everything hurts. :-P

Summer of Who

Well, series 5 is done (for Britain, at least), the deadline is passed, (most of) the submissions are in. The TTZ elves (that's me and the editing team!) are working hard for the next two weeks to weave together the many submissions, both art and literary, into the whole. It's very exciting and frankly I'm bowled over by some of the artwork and writing we've received. We look forward to sharing it with you, so stay tuned and keep following us here, on Facebook, and on Twitter!

'You've Had This Place Redecorated, Haven't You?'

Well, we didn't switch the settings to coral, but as you can see we've spruced up the blog a bit. Take the poll on the right hand side and let us know what you think.

And we are still accepting submissions for TTZ7! Deadline is June 28th! theterriblezodinezine(a)yahoo.co.uk

May Day

Just a quick update:

Jamie maintains our Twitter account, and he's done a good job of updating it. So if you haven't followed us yet, click on the link at the top of the page to do so.

TTZ7 is shaping up nicely, with hosts of new artists from deviantART joining the mag this issue. We're particularly looking forward to sharing the Panel of 13 with you.

There's plenty more in store, so keep watching the current series of Doctor Who and remember to send in any contributions by June 28th at the latest. theterriblezodinezine(a)yahoo.co.uk

PS I am trying to organize an Ashes to Ashes fanzine (most likely one shot and possibly even a paper zine) so if you'd like to be part of that, let me know. Once I've decided what to call it I will probably set up a blogspot blog for it.

The Mythological Dimensions of Doctor Who

Kitsune Books have published a fascinating book on the intersections of myth and Who (and I'm not just saying that because I'm in it): it's called The Mythological Dimensions of Doctor Who and it's edited by Anthony S Burdge, Jessica Burke, and Kristine Larsen. It features essays by contributors on both sides of the Pond, including one by the editor of TTZ and a blurb on the back by Jamie Beckwith. (Not to mention a blurb by the editor's one-time professor Dr. Leslie Donovan.) It's also got a foreword by Simon Guerrier. Plug plug plug. Subjects include the Doctor as a Prometheus figure, the Doctor's adoption of wartime morality, Doctor Who and Tolkien, and much more.

The UK launch, hosted by the British Science Fiction Association, takes place this month in London. We will be reporting on it, no doubt, in TTZ7.

Here it is on amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, and the Kitsune Books website.

deadline for TTZ7

The deadline for our next issue of TTZ7 will be June 28th. Please have all your articles, art, ideas, and so on in to us by then. You can e-mail us at theterriblezodinezine(at)yahoo.co.uk, message any of the staff on the Facebook group, or comment here on the blog. Hope to hear from you!

Reviews of the new series for TTZ7

With TTZ6 done, we're (as ever) turning our attention to TTZ7!

By the time that issue is out in early July, the new series of Doctor Who with Matt Smith will be a memory. In the meantime, we are asking new-ish viewers of the show to contribute short reviews to be published in TTZ7. We need 13 reviewers and currently have ten people signed up. We have been soliciting from the group itself on Facebook, but in case you're not there (and why not?) we're publicizing for it here as well.

If you are a newer fan and would like the chance to review one of the episodes of the 2010 series, get in touch with us either at the e-mail, theterriblezodinezine(at)yahoo.co.uk, comment on this blog, or find us on Facebook.

Look forward to hearing from you!
