Compleated the Hollow Paradise arc · 7:34pm Jul 3rd, 2023
The second arc of Adventures of the TARDIS is concluded. It's shorter than the last but the TARDIS crew got a few lucky breaks in it. Not every adventure of theirs has to be super hard, but the reason it still has to be written is because it is meaningful. Changes occur within it that shapes every chapter going forward. This includes a new objective and a new companion joining them from this point forward. It is a direct continuation of the last arc and this one gives more focus and direction for the ones to follow it. It is still a Doctor Who adventure, pony style, but it should be more clear for those who read this that over-arching narratives drives these stories forward. That is part of the essence of good writing.
But this arc introduces a new concept that I might not be able to conclude because it is so grand. Perhaps more than a single writer could do, but perhaps multiple? There is an invitation noted in the Author's note at the conclusion of this arc which invites you all to be a part of this story in some way. I won't spoil anything here, but for those of you who check this out, you may find an opportunity to be more than just part of the audience. You can step up to this stage as well or another just like it. That is the magic of a true Doctor Who series. It had many writers before who came together and wove these stories. For this one to reach it's full potential, something like it may be required again. For those who are interested, let me know. I'd enjoy feedback from you all in any case as well.
This latest chapter is posted here on the 3rd of July just after I came back from seeing the Sequoia National Forest for the first time in this life. Tomorrow is the 4th of July, so there is that too.
