Season eight of Doctor Who debuted Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor, a welcome change from the fresh-faced Doctors we had seen before him when the series regenerated back in 2005. Throughout the season we clung a little tighter to the still new companion, Clara, as we adapted to this rough-around-the-edges revival of our beloved time traveling, two-hearted Time Lord. By the end, though, Capaldi seemed … Continue reading It’s Not Susan
Published in 2012, the Lord of the Rings Project is the ultimate website for any and all of your LOTR needs, because we know you have them. Admit it. I discovered the project by scrolling through the “view all” function under Who to Follow on Twitter, and checking out Emil Johansson’s profile page to see why he was recommended to me. Thank you, Twitter. As a child, Emil read … Continue reading Fan Story: Emil Johansson and the Lord of the Rings Project
Potter Appreciation Week falls at the end of July every year, as three very special Potter people celebrate their birthdays together. Our beloved Jo Rowling shares her name day with Harry Potter himself, truly creating a pact between her and the Boy Who Lived that can never be interrupted.

If you’ve clicked on your radio at all this past month or so, you’re sure to have heard Rachel Platten’s Fight Song at least once, but probably more like a thousand times. Stations have been running Fight Song on what seems like a constant loop, and for better or worse, the tune has been burned into my brain. With such empowering lyrics and Platten’s sweet … Continue reading These Are My Fight Songs

In May of 2010 I attended my first ever comic book convention, and even walked away with an Iphone photo and autograph from the truly amazing actor and stuntman, Ray Park. My obsession had begun. I know celebrities, stars, and artists are really people just like us, but with incredible skill, or incredible luck. You have to admit, though, that there is something special about … Continue reading Meet and Greets Vol. 1
When I was 14 years old, my absolute dream job was to work as a foley artist for motion pictures. That’s all I wanted, and honestly I’d take that job in a heartbeat still to this day. But life happens, and you more often than not end up somewhere completely unexpected. So we fantasize about what life would be like in a different setting, with … Continue reading Dream Jobs in Fandom
Feeling a little like Aladdin today. As a Mac user, I’ve only had access to The Sims 4 since February of 2015, but I’ve really grown fond of the game since it’s installation. Yes, it’s missing a few key components that have built up my love of the franchise (TODDLERS!) but the pro’s outweigh the con’s in my opinion. This generation of The Sims runs … Continue reading Sims 4 Announces a Whole New World
