Sarah Jane Figure Adventures Teaser Poster

The first official teaser Poster for the 10th Anniversary Special.

The Great British Break of 2016

Yes it is 2016...

BUT No I'm not leaving the YT, I'm not dead and I'm not the host of GBBO 2017, I'm also not holding an election, but I do need a break.

For those not aware, 2016 has been a rough year on a personal level (on top of everything else that happened this year). In a matter of months I've gone from having a happy healthy family to a Dad with terminal Cancer and a Mother who left her kids because she didn't want to be our mother anymore. Even after the very real prospect of having no parents within the near future (something I didn't think I would have to deal with at 19), even after that...I'm still attempting to stay positive and continue as normal.
I mean it may not have seemed like anything was wrong for most of the year but it's been there. I've tried to hide it from most people, I don't want pity or anything. All I ask for is acceptance from the people who are subscribed or follow me on twitter when I say I need a break, some time to gather myself together and hopefully start 2017 with hope.


So this Sunday will be the last video from me for a while. I will return for my 6th Anniversary of my channel around 24th November for perhaps a live hangout and a video or two. However I probably will not return properly until closer to Christmas.

This Sunday's video will bow me out for the foreseeable future with
Doctor Who FA Confidential 1.3 - The Critters of Nostalgia
which will contain a few celebratory videos concerning this years FA, it will also feature a look at the Next FA Project - A One-off Sarah Jane Figure Adventure to mark the 10th Anniversary of the show for 1st January 2017.

I will probably be on Twitter and Instagram throughout the break, including updates to the SJA Attic etc. But for YouTube, it's gonna get cold and lonely from me.

Thank you very much for taking your time to read through this blogpost,
Thank you for understanding (I hope) and I wish for 2017 to be Great for everyone.

Your Chance to Feature in My Last FA

So I said I'd like to get people involved in my last FA, so here it is!

If you want to feature in the last episode, all you need to do is send me via Email or upload unlisted and send me a link.....an audio clip from one of your FA's!

• Must be unscored (no music heard within the clip if possible)
• Can be from a previous episode or an episode that is likely to be out before December 2016
• Please keep it age appropriate (not that I expect the Doctor to swear)
• Avoid loud scenes, choose a clip which would represent your FA
• If another actor plays the Doctor in your FA, please let me know if they are known to do it for others, I don't want to end up with multiple clips of the same voice as no one could tell the difference. So either let me know or use a voice distinctive to your FA.
• Maximum of 15 seconds of audio.
• Send Audio or links to DWTODWFA@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks!

I cannot tell you how these will be implemented as that would spoil it. However this is the last chance for such a thing. Please also attach your YouTube Channel name or the name most people recognize you by, these will be featured either in the Credits or description (undecided as of yet).

Ventures in Space-Time

To fill the gap that producing long FA is creating, I think it needs to adapt, so I'm bringing a new range of FA to my Channel VERY SOON!

'Ventures in Space-Time'

No time for Adventures, only Ventures

The basic idea behind this is Mini-sodes with a twist, they will be experimental and are not limited to series formats. One week it could be a comedy sketch, the next it could be mini-horror story....it is limitless! The best thing is that these will be SO much easier to produce and so there will be more FA!

I already have a few other writers on board and would like to open it up to everyone.

So if you want to write an episode for 'Ventures in Space-Time'....here's all you need to know:

Specifications:

1. The script can be anything up to 5 minutes maximum
2. Be Experimental, you don't need to stick to rules.....as long as it's physically possible to make
3. Please use either the Eighth or Eleventh Doctor*
4. Avoid TARDIS Interior scenes (because I don't have them at Uni)

* - One special occasions I will stretch to certain Doctors but I'd prefer if you chose Eight or Eleven

- as for Companions:

Eighth will be with Ellie Kai, the companion introduced in Series Five

Eleventh can be with Clara or my Series 3 Companion, Jessica Bell.

If you do not wish to use a Companion, that is fine by me

Please send scripts (drafts or final versions) to my email DWTODWFA@hotmail.co.uk

File size - Doc. or PDF or Pasted within the Email.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me or tweet me @DWTODWFA 

After Series Five?

Most of you know that Series Five will indeed be the last Series of Figure Adventures from me! But what happens after that?

Well, this is where something I've wanted to do for ages comes into play...

Figure Adventures in Audio form.

You may be thinking "doesn't that defeat the purpose of a Stop-motion Animation Figure Adventure?"

It does yes.

From Mid 2016, I will be producing a range of Audio Adventures set with a particular Doctor from within my Figure Adventure Universe. Not my own Doctor but any Doctor which has appeared in my Figure Adventures over the last 6 years.

For EXAMPLE: I may produce Audio Adventures set with The Eleventh Doctor and Jessica Bell to fit in between episodes of Series Three of my Figure Adventures.

This will allow me to expand my FA Universe without the long stressful production of building sets, filming and editing visuals. In the future I may even turn some of these Audio Adventures into proper Figure Adventures if I ever find the time.

And even better, I will be allowing others to write Audio episodes too! So if you want to write a story to fit into my FA Universe, you can!

More news as it comes!
