I said the winner would be announced at the end of July but, because the entries kept coming, I kept it open another month. All in all, we had over 800 people entering — some more than once — and picking a winner was NOT easy.
But a winner I did pick. And here, to help me announce, is Ronda, her mom, her sister Maria, and lead artist Justin...
"And the winner is... Brinley Marrs!"
Congratulations Brinley! Your mom put your name forward and told me why she figured you should win, and I agreed! Hailey, your email has now been sent to AnnMaria and they will take it from there.
To everyone else who entered, commiserations — but if it's any consolation, please know that some of your entries made me grin...

nothing
((right))
Doctor Who was MEH
Like
Wtf have they done???
Setup = Good
Dalek Plan = Good
Davros = Awesome
Newest Master Incarnation (Missy?) = Good
Doctor = Alright
Conclusion = TERRIBLE
Like I can understand them going "Oh yeah they survive because of something we've never seen happen before and probably shouldn't happen assuming that people can idk move like super-speed in less than a second" I could understand THAT.
But then when it came to the conclusion of the episode and they decided "Okay let's make the Doctor do something that idk is it possible or not? Oh well he'll have some sunglasses now and that'll mean he can do it :D".
Like wtf
I think the Dalek plan was too good for the writers to handle :/
Currently all the episodes are "OKAY WE DON'T KNOW WHETHER THE DOCTOR IS GOOD OR NOT AND PEOPLE DONT KNOW THAT EITHER SO LETS PUT HIM IN SITUATIONS WHERE HE HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD".
Basically has been the same thing for a while now. :/
Like
Idk
I thought that episode was going to be really cool.
I knew Missy and Clara would survive.
But I thought they'd use the vortex manipulator not use the dalek shots to somehow power the vortex manipulator or... something? Surely the vortex manipulator isn't dalek made though? I thought the android thing only worked because they worked on the same power? :/
Okay so this is what I'd have done if I would have designed the episode.
Clara and Missy survive.
Dalek plan stays the same basically.
Get rid of the whole sewer thing because tbh it's just a sewer full of sludge. I'd have totally got Clara locked into a Dalek though and would have had Missy disable the Dalek with idk a laser screwdriver or something like the Master used to have?
Then I'd have had Missy save the Doctor like she did but before any regenerative energy went into the Daleks. The Daleks would have all tried to kill them but Clara would have defended them in her Dalek suit and they'd try to make a getaway (maybe they'd have lost the Vortex Manipulator somewhere) and when they GOT to the Vortex Manipulator they realised Clara's mind had been idk damaged by being connected to the Dalek and they'd have to leave her on Skaro or maybe they'd use the Vortex Manipulator which'd have left her in the asylum of the Daleks in the 1st (?) episode where she appeared?
When Missy and Doctor escaped from Skaro with the Vortex Manipulator they could've gone and tried to fix the TARDIS another way and would have had episodes about trying to... idk find it or rebuild it or something? TARDIS gives Doctor a new sonic screwdriver and then more episodes going on about how to save Clara.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I forgot Doctor Who was on tonight
*didn't watch it*
Tom - I read the first line, and that's all. You... typing spoiler! :P
((Tom?))
Aquila the writers already spoiled the episode! XD
Er is there BBC1+1 Starfish? :P *basically assumes there's +1 of everything*
Meeee my irl name is Tom. :P
Not over here!
So shhhhh! ;P
my real name is no one. I am no one.
It's nice to meet you no one. :) I'm Dragona. :D
((oh stop that now fera
*jaw drops* for the whole time ive known you dragon, I didn't know that O.o))
Guess no one is sad, then.
The Lewis advert used the same music on as the trailer for Batman Arkham City XD
fera is dead
(he could have went with the oh i dunno pre rendered explosion interface ? and then just make the tardis invisible ? use the glasses to see where it was ? ughh and why is the force field there if it is kinda actually exploded... obn woood.... wood!!!!!!! it doesn't work on wood! )
Keiron! -hits him with a pillow, full force-
They could've done SOMETHING instead of "idk let's fix the TARDIS because... reasons!".
I think my episode plan would've been better XD
( JOhanna! )
You deserved that one. -nods-
... technically, Dragona deserves it, too.
... but I don't feel like jumping up just to hit him right. >.>
(PILLOW FIGHT! *plushtrap lunges at k with a pillow)

Me: -gets hit- -grabs pillow and throws it right back-
Aquila: -dodges by shifting to cat-
Swirl: -grabs it mid-flight, turns around and sends it flying back-

Aquila: -pillow gets her from behind- Meow!

Doctor Who writing standards::::
Christopher Ecclestone = Rising standards
David Tennant = Peak of standards
Matt Smith = Slight drop in standards
Peter Capaldi = Rock bottom XD
It's not really the characters or the ideas I have a problem with... it's the HORRIBLE writing :/
-glares-
-jumps and whacks Dragona with a pillow-
REG
(Celbor: * softens starts to cover their full bodies* hehh
can't be bothered rn)
That is completely true Dragon!
Peter capaldi could be great with better writing! They could have linked more to genesis of the daleks in tonights episode too
( blame moffat... he came in with tennant and thats why he left.... Steven davies is the best )
(*whacks dragon with a pillow*)
But Moffat wrote Sherlock which is awesome!!!!!!!!
Yet he wrote doctor who which is... Well
It makes no sense!!!!!!
((*sambas to hot wings from the film rio*))
((It took me about three reads to make sense of that sentence. XD))
( most of sherlock was written by mycroft :P and well changed stories from Arthur cowen doyle )
However also think, some good episodes of tennant era are by Moffat, empty child, blink, they're awesome!!! Yet now he can't write whatsoever
... am I the only one who liked the new episodes, too? Seriously?
((*looks blank*))
*didnt' watch new epsidoes*
( he forgot what paradox's were he forgot what good writing was...
both those are brilliant but can you name ten legitimately good ones by him ? )
Epsidoes? Really?
*can't type -_-*
We got a new word. Now we need a meaning for that word.
Any suggestions what epsidoes should mean?
( I like them... I do... but they could be 10 times better with no plot holes)
Aquila, I think they had potential.... But didn't meet it
Well k, there was
Um... The empty child
Blink
Girl in the fireplace
Silence in the library
The end of time
Can't name ten but there is five)
Alright, everybody sit down, quiet down, listen up.

((Sorry for vanishing. Internet stoppage.)
@Star: Very North. I think mostly we were in County Durham, not Yorkshire, so... er, Really Not Doncaster(?). :P
*hasn't watched doctor who since that episode with Matt Smith set in the old west, I think?*
*except for that anniversary special thing, whenever that was??*
*thinks epsidoes is a very cute word, though* :)
( now 5/10 by davies... and you will realize they are good too ...
those ones were just very good )
(*is the figment of a childs imagination*
*a child who is now dead*
*so poofs*)
Chloe?
Of course Russel t Davies was the best writer!!!!! I'm just saying Moffat used to he able to write well....
@Aquila: Uh, depends?
American-English tends to call it 'Zee', whereas Brits usually say 'Zedd'. Is that what you meant?
Yes. ... Americans are strange. No wonder they had to come up with that alpha bravo stuff when their z sounds nearly like their c...
I can REALLY easily tell you what my favourite Doctor Who episode(s) are.
Army of Ghosts/Doomsday (the two together) the one with the Cybermen and the Daleks? I LOVED that episode SO much and I have it on DVD and I watch it like a lot. It was so great.
You had the Daleks and Cybermen meeting which was a great moment because they're like the two main alien races who battle the Doctor
Then you had the people from the parallel universe come in and that was good too.
And there was lots of emotion and lots of Daleks which is always good.
Matt Smith's Doctor basically went downhill from David Tennant's because of the writing of it. Most of the plot twists were... predictable? And oh gosh the amount of story arcs which went NOWHERE.
That Bad Wolf story arc with Christopher Ecclestone was also good. I loved how you could see it everywhere and I thought it was so great when you finally learned what it was.
And then Peter Capaldi's Doctor... even worse writing. Same situations happen all the time just because the writers haven't decided who the Doctor is yet (no wonder when he contradicts himself like 200x in every episode). The writing just says things will happen because we want it to happen and screw logic.
And I think there're some reasons for this.
I think one of the MAIN reasons is the merchandise
... Like when the Daleks became multi-coloured.
There was literally no reason at all for that.
The gold Daleks were FANTASTIC. They looked GREAT. And then there was Dalek Sec (the black one) who was y'know important so he was given special colours.
... And then they made the Daleks pretty colours.
And I think that's probably just so they could sell more Dalek merchandise. :/
And the second reason I think is because of America. (No offense America XD)
Because I think the show is/was getting popular in the USA they decided to "Americanise" it. Cowboy hats and gunfights basically defined Matt Smith's term as the Doctor. :P And how many episodes were actually SET in America?
There was... the whole story arc with the spaceman.
There was the "Town called Mercy"
There was "Angels take Manhattan".
And probably a lot more. Soooo many more than there used to be. And I think that's because they thought Americans would like it more. :/
And I think the writing is more-basic and a lot worse than it used to be because they want it to appeal to more people (er basically screwing up lore and messing up the balance between science and fiction in the science fiction) because idk maybe the plots are too complicated for some people?
... And am I the only one who has realised all the female characters are pretty much identical? Like... They all seem to be flirty and overconfident at the minute? It's kind of getting boring?
@Taia: :P Never midn then.
*was in Meadowhall and Doncaster today*
*mostly Meadowhall*
*I just changed trains at Doncaster*
*agrees with Dragon*
Though my favouriteepisodes were utopia/sound of drums/ last of the time lords go master!!!!!
*leaves*
( well the silver blue are b4 gold... along with the white... then gold, black and red came along... then they ruined it with matts new daleks which i'm pretty sure they are just disregarding because they were soo bad )
( here come the drums , here come the drums! hey there baby baby, I love that soo much ughh I loved that crazy master :D
and yeh I agree I also think that last thing was also because of the Americanization )
Yeah I was happy to see the gold Daleks back this time at least. :P
I liked the sound of drums too. :)
I think John Simm was totally a good Master. :) Definitely my favourite incarnation of him. He was totally insane XD
John Simms master was insane, unpredictable and genius, the best mix. Absolutely amazing, the best master ever!!!!!!
*leaves properly*
( *agrees fully* I love John Simm :D he was great :P
Fav companion? I'm almost indulged to say donna even thou I hated the spider queen that stole her husband )
I really loved Donna. ^^
( I loved her saas sooo much :D :P
I can't wait till they do the pompeii episode :D :P capaldi is going to go back and meet capaldi that was a roman :P )
I think the best line I've ever heard from Doctor Who was Dalek Sec telling the Cybermen "this is not war, this is pest control" XD I was so happy when it said that. :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdQ7RcfnMOU
(I like the bit in that same sentence I think where they tell the cyber men they are better at one thing.... dying! )
"Cybermen are superior in only one respect."
"What is that?"
"You are better at dying" XD
( *loves that* )
I think Dalek Sec was so damn cool. So were the other Cult of Skaro XD
But er Dalek Sec became a human-Dalek so he got screwed up then died.
Two others died.
And Dalek Caan went into the Time War to rescue Davros and lost its mind whilst there.
So yeah er the Cult of Skaro didn't work out XD
...
-imagines Daleks working out-
-grins-
(no but was awesome )
I just realised something.
In a Doctor Who episode the Daleks were used to fight the Germans in WWII so fighting Hitler.
In another episode the Doctor SAVED Hitler.
I think the Daleks should be the heroes of Doctor Who XD
Pft. Kill Hitler or not, once his government was in place, I doubt it would have mattered. -shrugs-
( let hitler into art school ... that was the real problem )
@Dragona: :P
I think I recall that first episode because there's a bit where a dalek comes up to them discussing war plans and goes "WOULD YOU CARE FOR SOME TEEEAAAAAAAA?" and that's how I offer people hot drinks :P ^^
-gets cup of tea-
-puts it on a comfy table-
-puts tiny blanket on it-
-pats it-
Caring for tea.
Raisin I should totally do that XD
i am here. for a bit i guess.
( thats smithy boys daleks...terrible )
*hugs .* Hey, you OK? :/
*hugs back* nah.
I was actually really happy when they killed off Danny Pink.
Because Doctor Who was turning into "the Clara and Danny Show".
Just as Matt Smith's Doctor Who was turning into the Amy and Rory show. XD Was happy when they were gone too. :)
Personally what I'd do to make the show better - Get rid of Clara. That's literally the main thing I'd do XD I'd also basically fire everyone who had even a tiny part to do in the writing and have new writers.
I'd tell the writers to put more emphasis on creating a GOOD companion for the Doctor and a good plot.
I'd have them answer questions that've been there throughout all of the different series like whether Jack Harkness is the Face of Boe and what happened to the Doctor's Daughter after she flew away.
(him and mickey had the same problem, black man sidekick martha too... ... no one cared enough and wanted them to die. )
I liked Martha...
Dragona, what does a good companion need to be like, then?
(bees soleeo vt vt _
@. : Oh. :/ Is it something you want to talk about or... Nah? :/
@dw conversation: 100% for Jack Harkness. Has he been around since David Tennant's doctor? :(
I think... Imo, a good companion would just be a new personality?
Hi.
@Dragona Jack Harkness is the Face of Boa. It's confirmed. (Started with the ninth doctor)
Moffat went ahead and just tried to move on from what came before. Like the Doctor's Daughter.
Btw, what was up with the whole "mercy" thing? It's not the first time a Dalek's begged for mercy...
+100000 points for Missy yelling "Wee!!!" while covering herself from an explosion.
fuck no. I thought about it enough. thanks for the offer though.
I actually thought Martha was alright. Liked Mickey too. :)
Okay. A companion shouldn't be whiney and they shouldn't steal the show. They shouldn't be flirty and overconfident (basically for the sake of a change), and I mean... Why not have a female doctor and a male companion for once?
Anyway yeah. They need something interesting about them, but not something which takes centre stage for a series then gets completely forgotten. *coughs* Amy. *coughs* Clara *coughs*. Why not make them an alien??? Or a criminal? Or an alien criminal? Idk just a combination which isn't "flirty overconfident female". And definitely nothing like Amy "melodrama" Pond.
@Taia I'm annoyed that Clara's magical ability of being a Vuctorian teacher as well as a Dalek got resolved so quickly during the last season. It's all becoming meh lately.
I mean... come on, Moffat's first season seemed better.
Oh, well... let's see where it goes.
I didn't think it was ever properly confirmed Kas. Jack said he had the nickname but I think that was it???
No it isn't at all. A Dalek (stupidly) asked River Song for mercy once... Which was stupid. It was a "yay look how badass river song is" moment and screw the "hate filled alien mutant soldiers in indestructible armour" which is what Daleks are.
@Dragona *ships Tenth/Rose with a passion*
*ships literally nobody else*
*is sure that the series needs to try harder*
@Dragona It was weak at the time, so weak + vulnerable = mercy?
@Dragona There's nobody else it could be except for Jack?
Kas yeah but they were together a long time what little there was in terms of idk relationship felt natural not forced like every recent dw relationship XD
*nobody else from DW
... In the sense that, when they brought in Donna, everyone was kind of there watching like "Really..? Catherine Tate?" and not really being sure what to make of it. But they did it anyway and it was a bit different from some of the other companions and, for a lot of people, it worked? Idk. I think sometimes changing things is a good way to go. *nods* ?
Hey, Kas! *hugs* :)
@.: *nods* Whatever it is, then, I hope it turns out alright. *hugs* :/
my life in general...and it probably won't *hugs*
*hugs Taia-Bear back*
Aaah, the joys of not knowing the actors, so you can't have an opinion before seeing them...
It was a bloody Dalek XD Daleks don't ask for mercy. Other things ask mercy from Daleks. Literally it was just for a moment with River Song. Has any proper Dalek which has been going to die ever asked for mercy apart from that? Er... No.
It doesn't have to actually be someone? :P
Also... remember Midnight? Tenth Doctor stuck on a hovercraft on the moon? Or Voyage of the Damned? (Space Titanic.) Or even Martha's important episodes? Or Tenth Doctor's Master encounters?
We can't have that anymore. It's like the whole series has taken a turn. It's just so different.
... Dragona, could it be that your complaint is really nothing but "But I like Daleks way better than River, so they should be cooler at any time!"? 0o
Yeah they need change... Not people who fit exactly the same character model XD I actually quite like Missy as a companion. But my main problem is "oh yeah you killed some people and turned the dead into cybermen but all is forgiven :D". And again the flirty/overconfident personality template which has just been stamped on to a Time Lord.
Well, didn't Boa refer to the Tenth Doctor as an old friend? And I remember the end of some episode where they left the TARDIS, Jack ran off, and the companion (Rose) gave the Doctor a look that implied they knew he was the Face of Boa, even if Jack didn't.
No, Aquila. I'm saying that weak or not a Dalek wouldn't have asked for mercy and the only reason why it did was for the script not the lore. :P It basically broke what a Dalek is for the sake of making River Song look cool. :P
@Dragona all is not forgiven. But this is the character and plot they've chosen to work with.
@Dragona The Dalek could be partially rebuilt. I mean, it didn't receive enough power, maybe other things were off too. Like DNA.
Plus it's smart to first seem weak and then attack them when they feel safe.
Oh come on she helped out once and now they're off travelling. She lied about Clara being dead and generally has been putting her in danger all this time and no one gives a crap a few minutes after its happened. :P Why not just dump her in the middle of nowhere?
is anyone here?
@Kas: Don't think I saw those episodes, but I totally get what you mean, yeah. -.-
Nnnggghhhhhhh Rose/Ten is so painful though :(
"Why not have a female doctor and a male companion for once?" YES THIS IS MY JAM. THIS IS THE THING THAT I AM WAITING FOR.
I think... I think flirty and overconfident are both totally valid character traits and totally, use them, but a) they don't both have to go together and b) like, don't just chuck them onto everybody because, um, why would you? :/
I also really like the alien idea. But like, imagine a non-humanoid alien, like... When you get cat-people but instead of being cat people they're juSt like cATS. JuSt cats. Idk that'd be so cool. Why doesn't the TARDIS translation system work with their language? This is important to me. :P
Eh maybe but with no evidence to say otherwise you just kind of assume it's a normal Dalek. :P
No Aquila it was just a damaged Dalek. :P
It could even be a glitch in the voice system.
I am the only Dalek and need to survive to make my race survive and exterminate you all = mercy at this moment. Just a faulty translator.
... why not have a not English Doctor for once? While we're at it..
... or at least a companion from somewhere else...
Oh, right, make that English British. =P
Raisin there were also them cactus people who seemed cool XD Oh gosh an Adipose companion. :P *would pay to see that*
@Dragona she didn't travel anywhere, though. She took Clara to the Doctor, they all got taken to Skaro, and at the end of today's episode, they practically dumped her there.
@Johanna Isn't the current doctor Scottish?
Kas they'll start travelling. :P
@Draggie Really? :S This is stupid. Unless they start looking for Gallifrey. Two Time Lords looking for Gallifrey sounds like a good episode. Or two. No more.
Kas, that's why I fixed it to British. ^^
I'm going to head to sleep now, really tired. Good night!
bye kas. huh it's past midnight. didn't notice. time passes when things hurt.
@.: *hugs* Your whole life =/= Your life now. You've got a whole future, and the whole future is much greater than the time you've lived so far. There'll be other things. Speaking non-specifically, a lot of what seems to comprise the end of the world now...will pass, and some of it you'll probably barely recall at all, one day. Y'know? There's plenty of space for things to get better. ^^
@dw stuff: ... Daleks are living beings, though, aren't they? They've got weird sort of tentacle goo inside their armour, right? So... Maybe the Mercy Dalek asked for mercy because survival instinct or personality difference? Like, who says that's not possible?
@Dragona: XD omg yes! *would sign both those petitions*
@Aquila: !! *nods* !
Night Kas! Sleep well!
Good night, Kas!
thanks taia. though, everything just keeps hurting. and i don't see why anything would be better *shrugs*
Because things change?
The world turns and the universe grows and people do whatever it is that people do, and stuff happens and things change.
Sorry, I need to go. :/
Maybe get some sleep, if you can?
Goodnight! ^^
Goodnight, Taia!
thanks taia. I am feeling more confident, if anything, so it's ok ^_^
Night, survivors of this late hour. ^^
which are only me and you ^_^ :p goodnight everyone ^_^

*brother comes I to room and sings on top of voice*

*mum threatens to slap ME if I say that again*)
(*although it's alright for her to call me a spoilt little shit or a skinny bitch*)
It's been said a few times that Daleks only know hate. So if they have no fear why would they ask for mercy? :P
Within a few weeks my sister has dropped her phone down the toilet, stood on her phone and broken the screen and put her earphones in the wash. I think this is great. XD
Hey Dragona!
Mmh, but the people who say that about Daleks hate Daleks, and so would probably prefer to think that? Doesn't necessarily make it true. :) ^^
Oh dear :P

*is so tired of explaining my opinion on authoring*
*when writing in real life, you have to obey the rules of real life* *because otehrwise it's not real life*
*when writing in a fantasy enviroment, you write a new world* *and more to the point, you write a new world with new rules* *you then have to stick to your new rules* *otehrwise the story just isn't plausible adn then it's rubbish*
*"oh, yes, any trouble we get in we can just wave our magic ones and get out of it because MAGIC". No. If there isn't a challenge, it isn't plausible, and you set challenges by setting rules. The rules don't even have to be explicitly laid out; there just needs to be limitations in place to ensure that the characters cannot instantly achieve everything. For example, in Harry Potter, we don't know much about how magic works or anything. But we do know that you can't turn invisible without an invisibility cloak - or at least, we know that Harry can't. Therefore, whenever Harry wants to turn invisible, he has to deal with the invisibilty cloak. Even if a spell for invisibility existed, he couldn't just magically know this because such a thing would be unrealistic to the rules of his world (ie, we assume that such a spell would be very high-level and Harry couldn't just magically know how to perfom a high-level spell instantly). Contradicting the rules you have set for your world makes it implausible, and that will irritate your reader and make them more likely to, for want of a better word, diss your work. For example, everyone yesterday was dissing recent Doctor Who episodes due to their contradicting of the rules set; due to their implausibility. Impluaibility can also be described with the word 'plotholes', if that makes it any clearer to you.
Secondly, if Harry could just somehow know how to do any magic spell whenever needed with no limitations on what he could achieve with magic . . . ready Harry Potter would be very boring. There would be no challenge. No complex emotions. Just safety. And when all the characters go along being safe and happy the whole time . . . it's not much of a story. Which means that it won't be much fun to read - and I can't imagine it'd be much fun to write either.
You can, in theory, just make your characters do whatever the fuck you want because they're your characters. But that will most likely make it less fun for you and definitely make it less fun for your reader.
You need to set limitations, boundaries. You need to stick to those limitations - if you can find a way around them, you need to haev nough justification that the reader thinks it sounds like a plausible excuse.
Of course, you could enjoy writing with no limitations and you could also write for no reader. However, if you share your writing in a public place, people are goign to read it, and that opens you up for comments on it.
If you never share your writing with anyone, don't worry about it. :)
@Chloe: -_- If I lived with you, I'd enjoy your prescence and not want you to go leave.
Well . . . I prefer being alone quite a bit, and if I spend too mcuh time surrounded by people I want them to leave regardless of how much I like them. But either way, I like you. :)
(Thanks star *huggles*
But it's not normal for a parent to say that, is it?
It's a lot of expressed emotion )
@Chloe: Not to my knowledge, no.
(But it's like ... She can swear and curse and stuff but I can't
Set a good example like -_- )
@Chloe: -_-
(I told her that I can't wait to go to university
I can't deal with her anymore)
@Chloe: *nods* :( :( Don't blame you.
(I just... Give up
It's like... She treats me differently than My siblings ... If I'm on the computer, and my brother on the Xbox or watching TV then he decided to go on the computer, I refuse and he goes to tell mum and then she makes me
Bearing in mind I don't use the Xbox or hardly watch TV...
She definitely treats them differently, and it always ends up as 'taking the piss out of chloe'
She always tries to bring the worst out in me too...
Like, you know this girl who made my life hell for years?
She passed her driving test recently and mum goes 'she did that just to one up you' and I'm like.. It doesn't bother me
And last night on my Facebook, my uncle posted a picture of him and his wife and dog (Charlie) watching the rugby
Mum tried to get me to write that the dog looked like the only sober one
And the only reason she saw the photo is because she went on my Facebook because my uncle blocked her! I actually get on with my uncle ad I won't say anything to upset our relationship, whether my mm likes it or not!
*end of rant*)
@Chloe: :( :(
*hugs*
I'm sorry. :(
(*huggles* don't apologise
I'm sorry... Mums just put me in a real foul mood -_-)
@Chloe: :) If I don't apologise, you fon't apologise.
