13 Thoughts I Had After the ‘Doctor Who’ SDCC Panel

Constance Gibbs

I didn’t know two years ago I’d be itching for new Doctor Who content. I’d quit the show after season 7 and many people’s impressions of 8 left me wanting, so I dropped it from my very full TV schedule. It always going to be one of my favorite shows, even if I took a break every now and then, but with the announcement of Pearl Mackie as Bill and her glorious fro, I jumped back into the TARDIS and haven’t left since.

A Special Hypericon Moment

Dennis R. Upkins

So this past weekend was Hypericon. One of my favorite cons, it’s special to me because I get to see many of my loved ones — family, really — and it is always the perfect way to kick off summer. Great food, great friends, sci-fi, cosplay, what more can a guy ask for?

Sadly I wasn’t able to attend this year. One of my closest friends is undergoing chemotherapy so I’ve been staying with him and helping him out.

Nevertheless, I couldn’t let this year go by without commemorating Hypericon. And what better way to celebrate the con than by sharing one of the most cherished moments I’ve had as a professional author.
