I'm fairly certain this ends with me destitute in a ditch somewhere . . .

Well, I finally broke down and downloaded a Big Finish thing. If you never hear from me again, you'll know what happened.

Which one tho

[promethia_tenk]

The first season of the Eighth Doctor Adventures.

[promethia_tenk]

It's happening. I just want to lie around and listen to Doctor Who. What are responsibilities?

[st_aurafina]

Yay!! There are so many good stories there.

I am quite excited, though I have a feeling this is one of those fannish lines from which there is no returning. And I have a horribly addictive personality . . .

I tried reading some of the Eight novels and was finding them too plot heavy. I'm hoping the audios will do a bit more with characterization.

OMG. Enjoy.

...the addiction ;)

(What did you get?)

[promethia_tenk]

It's gonna be bad, isn't it?

I got the first season of the Eighth Doctor Adventures! (Though I am sure I will get around to their River stuff sooner or later.)

[flowsoffire]

It very likely is, I'm afraid...

Cool, that's Lucie :) enjoy! (The River ones are <3)

[promethia_tenk]

I already feel like a junkie. I just wanna keep listening . . .

(The River ones are <3)
I just did the math and she's about to have more Big Finish episodes out than tv episodes??!?! How did this happen!??! How can I call myself a fan when I've not listened to any?!?!

[flowsoffire]

SO GETTING YOU THERE. We've all known that ;)

OMG, you're probably right actually!!! I hadn't realized :O And ah, you'll get around to them! Put it this way, you're actually doing it right as far as I'm concerned: you'll enjoy the first boxset of her series a lot more if you're already familiar with Eight, even though his bits aren't that extensive—and same with the next Doctors. Big Finish just brought all eras SO MUCH. It dug so deep into all characters and made so much of the material, even the very earliest companions whose treatment wasn't always so wonderful. It's really worth delving into it all.

(Plus, you're not the worst or weirdest fan by far—I've had series 3 since it came out and I still haven't listened to it, due to some strange reasoning that is mostly related to the compulsion to listen to ranges in order :O as well as hoarding it to enjoy "on a long/tough day", which is hilarious given the amount of stressful days I've had in the meantime…)
