Finally! For too long, I've had 13 shows to edit. 13. I've seriously considered retiring from a dead guide just to get off that number (not that I'm supersticious or anything... :roll: ), but then realised that with my next show I'd just go straight back to 13, so I held out, and finally help arrived, in the form of a Cyber Replicant Human Prototype 6000! A Jonathan M. Shiff production. A Jonathan Flippin' Amazing M. Shiff production!!! Forget Doctor, err, what was it? Doctor Where? I've got a JMS show :) For those people out there, whom I pitty, who don't have the foggiest what I'm going on about, Jonathan M. Shiff is basically the best producer in the world. Bar none. He's amazing. He brought into the world such wonders as Ocean Odyssey, Pirate Islands, Wicked Science, and, of course, Cybergirl. Australian kidult sci-fi. Best in the world. I've always wanted to be editor of a JMS show, but *sob* history_girl seems to have beaten me to everything - Ocean Odyssey, Pirate Islands, Thunderstone, Scooter: Secret Agent, they're all hers. I mean, I know she's actually in the right country, probably knows a darn-sight more than me on them, and is probably the all-round better choice for these shows, but so what? (If history_girl happens to read this, I am of course joking :P. You do an amazing job, and deserve those guides. But Cybergirl's mine! :P). By the way, in case you cannot tell, I'm excited. Yeah, so it's a dead guide. Yeah, so I'll be amazed if I get more than two subs a year. But I've got a new guide to tinker with, to prune, to shape into a work of art. Not only that, but it's a JMS production 8). For those that are worried, don't be - Doctor Who will continue to be my top priority. This is just a fun little side project. I mean, I've got three months worth of holiday to fill somehow 8)

OK, so I stole the title of that little sketch in DWM. But seriously... I'm now the editor of Doctor Who... ...:shock:... Flippin' 'eck! Never expected that to happen! Just before the start of series 3 as well... I'm now fairly sure I know the reason why Kenny was retired (and no, it wasn't gaming (I don't think), and no, I'm not giving any more details). 'Tis a shame, he was a good editor, but I hope that I can be just as good. Being the editor of Doctor Who gives me the ability to see into the future - I see that, in a couple of weeks time, my job as editor is going to get quite hectic! :P Here goes nothing... ...(hopefully a well-edited nothing)...

Well, after the introduction of the personal icon feature, I decided that it was about time I made my own avatar. So, I decided to be truely original, and go for something completely different from my old white BBC Logo... ...I went for a dark BBC Logo with the BBC dynamic lines! Except, well, err, they're not all that dynamic, just sitting there, stationary, not moving... ...anyone know how to make a gif from a series of still images? I haven't got a clue... Not sure I like the bigger size - the forums looked neater when they were smaller. Still it's done now, and it could be worse.

Last night, we said farewell to Rhythm & Movement: And indeed farewell to the BBC One Logo: In their place arrive 16 new idents (eight for now - the next eight will be released in a few weeks): And of course, with the new on-screen identity comes a new logo: It is indeed the end of an era. However, 'tis also the start of a new one. Synchronised swimming hippos? The BBC has become slightly more surreal... ...excellent!!! Watch this space - BBC Two is next in line for a re-brand...

Well, I'd been wondering for ages how on Earth so many people had been convincing the staff to make personal banners, and then suddenly I stumbled across the answer in the preferences - you can make your own! So, above is my very own banner, including (from left to right): - Round the Twist, showing from left to right Pete, Fay, Lynda, Tony and Bronson at the front - Shoebox Zoo, showing Michael Scott and Marnie, who is holding the Shoebox Zoo - Maddigan's Quest, showing the Fantasia, with Garland, Eden and Timon holding Jewel at the front - Dark Season, showing Eldrich and Marcie in front of the Behemoth - The Demon Headmaster, showing (suprise suprise) The Demon Headmaster, in front of Hyperbrain And I've also popped on my username, Islander, with no underscores. I'm Islander, not _Islander_. Not at all _Islander_ :roll: . (If you look to the right, you'll see that I'm editor for four out of these five shows - someone got to Shoebox Zoo first :P !)

Well, here it is - my first blog entry. Lets clear up right away - I'm just doing this to raise my level. What I would like to say, though, is this: Thank you missribs for taking over Snide's position. I never received replys from Snide, and lets be honest, he did little once the transition was over. After a problem with new shows recently, I PM's missribs, who has sorted it out perfectly. Thank you ;). Now I just have to wait for my submissions to Maddigan's Quest to be accepted, so I can become editor. Shouldn't take too long...
