For Fansplaining (!) I wrote about a passion topic - Blake's 7 and early fandom conflicts.
Our first piece of the year is live—and it's a big one! With the recent release of the classic BBC sci-fi show Blake's 7 on Blu-ray, @scenicrailway.bsky.social looks back at the infamous 1980s clash between fans and creators that became known as the Slash Wars. 🚀 Read or listen to an audio version:
The War That Almost Broke a Classic Fandom — Fansplaining
Blake’s 7 fans and actors mixed regularly at cons and on the pages of zines—until an anonymous letter changed everything.

Part of the fun of cosplaying as Osgood is that since she’s got breathing issues I’d say it’s totally in character to be masked in public.

More fun at Gallifrey One.

Jo Martin wants the Fugitive Doctor do go up against a Master played by Glenda Jackson (the question allowed for any casting), and I’d really like to see that. #Gally1

FUGITIVE DOCTOR HAS A NEW COSTUME COMING. IT HAS A HAT. A gasp from the audience , and Jo Martin confirms that it is “gasp-worthy “ #gally1

If you are a classic #DoctorWho fan, you should be watching @jessjurkovic.bsky.social on YouTube! Brilliant videos about the incidental music of the Dudley Simpson era of Who! Fascinating content!

Plus Jess is an incredibly nice guy to chat with! #gally1

A FANTASTIC cover comparison between #FantasticFour #1 by Jack Kirby and #WhatIf #36 by John Byrne! We love the masthead on WHAT IF and all the little changes between the two! What is your favorite change?
