'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.

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!

can it be?

We've had technical difficulties. And that's putting it politely. This problem is officially unsolved, but I've figured out a way around it for the time being, long enough to put up this 99.9% correct edition of TTZ6. It's had three pairs of eyes reading over it in detail this time, and despite the woes of Word all articles and art seem to be accounted for. If we, the editing staff, notice anything huge and honking we will take the PDF down and attempt to fix it.

However, try not to let that dampen your read. Here is what's in it:

THE EIGHTH DOCTOR SPECIAL!

-Interview (part 1) with Rob Shearman. Surprise!
-Interview with Lloyd Rose
-Articles on the Eighth Doctor, his companions, and several 200-word recommendations for great Eighth Doctor stories you shouldn't miss
-Article on the Time War
-Article on the unavailability of the TVM in the States
-Article on multiple-Doctor companions
-Two pieces of Eighth Doctor fiction
-Article on "Wormwood"
