The Dylan Thomas Festival to be
invaded by Daleks
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, the 2013 Dylan Thomas Festival in Swansea, Wales will be hosting a Doctor
Who Day on Saturday 2 November. Yours truly (TTZ's editor) is organising it, and we'd love to see you there.
We have historians Matthew Kilburn and Alwyn Turner talking about 1963 and Terry Nation. We have Peter Miles, he of many villainous Who roles but especially remembered for Nyder from "Genesis of the Daleks," in conversation with Phil Parsons and his Dalek collection.
We have comics mastermind Mike Collins giving an art workshop for kids (it's practically sold out so get your tickets now!).
We have a Writers' Panel with Phil Ford of The Sarah Jane Adventures, James Moran, Joseph Lidster, Una McCormack, David Llewellyn, and Simon Guerrier.
We have an evening celebration with the one and only Louise Jameson reading Dylan Thomas poetry (you don't get that very often!).
It looks to be a fun and interesting event, a little different from your traditional conventions and a little different from the other events during the Festival. It's also a fair bit more affordable than the average convention.
We would love to see you there!
The Dylan Thomas Festival runs from
27 October – 9 November.

for more information on the Dylan Thomas Centre.
2014 will mark the centenary of the
birth of Dylan Thomas in Swansea and a series of events are being
planned to commemorate one of the world’s greatest poets.

The Terrible Zodin #16 (Fall 2013)
We’re back! And it’s about time too!
Issue 16 of The Terrible Zodin is now available for your delight and edification.
As the only issue we’re putting out this year TTZ16 clocks in at 125 pages, full of Doctor Who goodness as we approach the 50th anniversary of the show.
In this celebratory issue we bring you 50 Brilliant Things About Doctor Who (And 11 More!) Our review panel tackle Season 7.2 and we bring you interviews with Nick Briggs, India Fisher and Marnix van den Broeke. We also bring you the results of our Classic Series poll – find out which story our readers voted their favorite and we didn’t just stick to the TV show, the wider Whoniverse is celebrated in audio, novel and comic strip form.
We’re pleased to bring you a brand new column focusing on the Past Doctor Adventures novels and the Back2theWhoture team tackle The Aztecs. In these pages you’ll also find a reappraisal of Dodo Chaplet, Captain Jack’s Guide to the Second Doctor, the politics of the Swampies and the Case for the Return of the Rani. All that and Richard Hurndall too!
With just under 50 days to go until the anniversary itself and with rumors abound that a stash of missing episodes have been found we live in exciting times. We hope TTZ16 will tide you over until the big day itself and we would really love to have your feedback, good or bad on what you think of the new issue. We’ve listened to your comments before and you’ll see we’re debuting a new font and column style in response.
Plans are already afoot for TTZ17 (But as the PHD ramps up in to the final stages, it probably won’t be any time before August 2014); if you want to be a part of it please drop us an email at theterriblezodinezine@yahoo.co.uk or join us over on Facebook and Twitter.
GERONIMO!

What's she doing here?!
Hello!
Apologies for the long silence!
The Terrible Zodin just keeps humming along, and we have another issue (our sixteenth, in fact) due out probably in October. We are currently looking for submissions from anyone about anything (well, Doctor Who-related and do keep in mind that we try to be a family-friendly magazine). Already there have been some smashing ideas for articles, and I've sent my gnome on a tricycle round to deviantART to scout out the best Doctor Who art there by talented individuals. But we could always use more of each, so please do get in touch if you have an idea!
We look forward to hearing from you.

The next issue of the Terrible Zodin
Hi, and how's everyone enjoying the new Doctor Who?
Life continues at its blinding pace at TTZ Towers, but we hope to have at least one brand-new issue of TTZ for you this 50th (!!) anniversary year.
To give the most time possible to hypothetical contributors, we are setting the submission deadline as September 7, 2013. This should give you plenty of time to come up with ANYTHING related to Doctor Who to send in for consideration. We publish 99% of what is sent our way, so as long as it's family-friendly, why not give us a shot? We are an inclusive Doctor Who fanzine and like getting different points of view. We like looking at all eras, media, and fanon elements of the show. We are looking for artwork, comics, poetry, and nonfiction articles. We generally don't publish fan fiction, though we have been known to publish shorter pieces.
We'd love to hear from you. The call out will start on Twitter and Facebook imminently. And you can e-mail us at theterriblezodinezine@yahoo.co.uk.

We'd be delighted if you could join us for the third The Terrible Zodin Doctor Who fan meet up which will be on Saturday 6th April 2013.
Venue will be confirmed nearer the time (We'll be keeping an eye on TFL's plans for engineering work) but will most likely be The Mayflower Pub in Rotherhithe as it was the last two times.
Follow the events page on Facebook for updates here
We'd love to see many of you there and in the mean time here's some photos from last years events which have been kindly provided by Marcus Judge and Craig Hanson
