[10L] MOONLIGHT PART ONE
BY JACKSON REES
Earth- the present day.
What connects the disaster at NASA, a strange signal from an American foster house, and a large UFO above Africa? The Doctor is on the hunt to unravel the mystery, while Rachel does some detecting of her own, back home in Connecticut.

The Doctor is dead. Rachel is left to face Armageddon as the wolves set the world aflame. With the monsters drawing in, and the hunt for an ancient relic coming to an end, can she find it within herself to save us all? Seth will reveal his last secret. Rachel will face her destiny.

STORY THREE
[10N] DOCTOR WHO AND THE CURSE OF THE JADE SKULL
BY ARNOLD T. BLUMBERG
‘The evil that men do lives after them, Doctor...but sometimes, the men themselves are damned difficult to get rid of.’
The TARDIS brings Doctor Who and Silver to the dusty mining town of Crawford, Wyoming in the late 1880s. There they meet Daniel Edward Cayde, a hired gun with a murky past. But even worse things are roaming around town in the dark of night… As glowing green corpse’s claw their way out of the cold earth and march toward Crawford with human flesh on their otherwise empty minds, the Doctor discovers that an even greater terror lies in wait, biding its time after millennia of cold calculation. Apocalypse has arrived in Crawford, and the very forces of Time, Mind and Life are at stake. Even Doctor Who may not be able to resist the Curse of the Jade Skull!
STORY FOUR
[10P] STRANGE MEETING
BY DAVID P. MAY
Once again the Doctor's uncanny knack for landing himself in trouble manifests itself when the TARDIS arrives in war-ravaged France in 1915. And trouble certainly finds him in the shape of a bullet. Silver knows all too well that if the Doctor dies, she will be trapped in the past. The First World War is a conflict the Doctor has no desire to influence and yet, even though all he wants to do is get away quietly; his very presence there is to have a profound effect on two men on opposite sides of the battle. Two men who will spend the rest of their lives wondering about that strange night in December 1915...
STORY FIVE
[10Q] AURUM IN PLUMBUM
BY CRAIG CHARLESWORTH
Nero's Rome is in tatters - devastated by fire, now torn apart from within as various political factions vie for power. A series of gory murders seems set to light the powder keg the city has become - unless the Doctor can find the culprit and bring him to justice. But when the list of suspects includes Gods, corrupt Senators and a criminal from the Doctor's own past, that's not going to be a simple matter. With Silver lined up as the killer's next victim, and Nero himself in danger, time is a luxury the Doctor and his new friend Cornelius do not have.
STORY SIX
[10R] OGOPOGO
BY MISHA LAUENSTEIN
The Doctor and Silver find themselves in the resort town of Kelowna, British Columbia where the locals talk of a mythical lake-dwelling creature known as Ogopogo. What does that have to do with the mysterious meteor that crashed into the lake the night before their arrival?
STORY SEVEN
[10S] NINE DAYS
BY DUNCAN JOHNSON
In June 1553, Jane Dudley became Queen of England. Nine days later, she was deposed, arrested and imprisoned in the Tower of London. In February of the following year, she was executed. This is the story of what might have been.
STORY EIGHT
[10T] DREADNOUGHT
BY ROBERT MAMMONE
For millennia, the name Dreadnought struck fear across the galaxy. Now, shrouded in history, they have faded from memory. But are not completely gone. One of the last of their kind has re-emerged on Earth from an aeons old slumber, ready to topple human civilization in a matter of weeks. Can the Doctor and Silver find away to defeat this creature of darkest legend? Or will they see everything they hold dear die under the onslaught of the Dreadnoughts?
STORY NINE
[10U] JOURNEY’S END
BY JOHN GORDON
The TARDIS is dead. An impact with a Null-Time event causes the time-ship to collapse in on itself and deposit the Doctor, Silver and Mortimer on a small Caribbean island in November, 1963. A terrible accident, the Doctor says - but is it? Events of worldwide importance make their impact on the tiny island, and the stranded TARDIS crew begins to discover that nothing is quite happening by accident. As history begins its inevitable unfolding, the Doctor is faced with the prospect of a terrible, cosmic destiny, and the end to all his journeys… |

The Tomorrow People Project is a new original fiction series based on the long-running science fiction television series, "The Tomorrow People". TPP centers on the exciting adventures of a new mutli-national team of Tomorrow People based in England.

| FEB 12/08: WRITERS WANTED FOR SEASON 36 |
Its that time of year again. TDWP is looking for writers who'd like to pen a story for our upcoming collection of stories that will make up Season 36.
Season 36 will debut in sometime around the first half of 2009 however it'll be a slightly shorter season than the past few TDWP seasons with 5 stories, and a Christmas special following in December. (The Christmas special will also celebrate TDWP's 10th year publishing so this will indeed be a very special publication.)
Season 36 will break down as follows:
10W - Story 1 by John Gordon
10X - Story 2
10Y - Story 3
10Z - Story 4
11A - Story 5
11B - 2009 Christmas Special/TDWP 10th Anniversary Story (may introduce new companions)
The first story of the season - Story 10W - will be written by John Gordon who will be tying up the loose ends from the end of Season 35.
The following 4 stories (10X-11A) will see the Doctor travelling alone but each story will try to answer the overall theme of the season of "Why does the Doctor need companionship? Why does he always seem to have companions and primarily those from Earth?"
Following on in December 2009 will be the 2009 Christmas Special. This story will not only celebrate the Christmas season but also focus on 10 Years of TDWP as 2009 marks 10 Years of Publication for TDWP.
If you're interested in submitting an idea for the season we'd love to hear from you. However we ask that each writer submit your idea in the form of a story proposal. The proposal can be as detailed and as lengthy as you like but should give us a good idea of what your story is about, who are the main characters, how it addresses the theme for the story. Proposals should be submitted to us as a Word or Rich Text document attached to an email. Btw, feel free to submit as many story proposals as you'd like.
You will find an bio outline of our Ninth Doctor on the TDWP site by clicking here.
We are now accepting story proposal submissions right up till the deadline of March 1st. We will then review all the submissions and make our choice for those stories to be part of the Season 36 lineup by March 15. If you story proposal is accepted for publication, we will expect writers to deliver a first draft and final draft to set deadlines.
If would like to submit your story proposal(s) or would like additional information, please contact us at jigsawpublications@yahoo.ca.
Look forward to hearing from you.

| FEB 12/08: TDWP BRIEF ENCOUNTERS |
The Doctor Who Project is looking for writers for an ongoing series of short stories.
What is Brief Encounters?
The concept of Brief Encounters is to publish on the TDWP website a series of short stories set within the universe of TDWP.
The stories will feature classic Doctor/Companion pairings from the original television series (up to Survival), and from the ongoing adventures of the Eighth and Ninth incarnations as published by TDWP.
Each series of stories will form anthologies which will be published between the end of the ongoing TDWP series and the Christmas specials (this will usually be during the Autumn/Winter).
Story Requirements
1) Stories must be original whilst also fitting within established continuity.
2) The stories will be around 5,000 words in length.
3) The use of established enemies/monsters should be avoided. We would rather have exiting new characters and monsters featuring in the stories rather than using established ones.
Interested in contributing?If you are interested in contributing to TDWP: Brief Encounters then please send your story submissions to BriefEncounters@lifeisacabaret.co.uk . Submissions should contain the following:
1) The Doctor and companion that the story concerns
2) Details of key characters/monsters
3) A brief synopsis of the story
First time contributors to The Doctor Who Project should also attach a sample of their prose style, in a word document.
If your story proposal is accepted by the editorial team then you will be invited to join the TDWP Artist and Writers forum where you will be able to discuss yours and others stories with fellow contributors.

London. December 25th, 1842.
Charles John Huffam Dickens has a mystery to solve. A strange artefact from another world has fallen to Earth, alien visitors walk the fog-bound streets and the laws of time and space are being broken all over the place. Oh, and the shady Captain Magnus Khan wants a word. Perhaps his friends Doctor Smith and Miss Silverstein can help? Festive mood is in short supply as the three face killer robots, hungry giants and ghosts from the past. And all before they've even had time to open their presents. Together, maybe our heroes can save the world and be home in time for the turkey. After all, Christmas is a time for miracles.

| SEP 1/07: THERE'S A SEANCE GOING ON IN THE TARDIS |
| There's a seance going on in the TARDIS and Silver is responsible. Available now is David P. May's adventure SEANCE IN A TYPE 40 TARDIS. An innocent trip to the most mundane of places – a library – is the catalyst for the most dangerous of adventures for the Doctor and Silver. Is there such a thing as life after death? The Doctor insists there isn’t. Silver wants to believe there is. And the library book Silver has stolen would seem to support her argument, especially when she tries out one of its ancient spells and finds that it works! However, the girl is dabbling with powers she doesn’t understand, and very soon the very TARDIS itself is under siege whilst in the space-time vortex.

| AUG 17/07: UPDATE ON SEASON 27 |
We've recently had several enquiries regarding the status of Seasons 27 from our readers. Unfortunately at this time, season 27 is not currently online. Sadly it's highly unlikely that that season will be online for the foreseeable future. While recently putting the stories together for the online omnibus, it was discovered that some of the files have become corrupted due to the age of the floppy diskettes that the stories were stored on. Of the seasons eight stories, approximately 50% have been affected. These were the only versions we had of these stories and we're currently trying to decide what would be the best way to recreate those missing stories.
We apologize to those of you who were hoping to read the debut TDWP season, but this was something we did not foresee. We hope this won't deter you from enjoying other TDWP adventures. We'll keep readers posted as this situation progresses. |
