Hi everyone! A long-time lurker here from Brisbane, Australia.
My child was born in 2020, just as the pandemic began. To stay sane, or at least focus my descent into madness, I decided to go all-in on Big Finish. Just ridiculously, self-awarely, insanely all-in. At a time when films were off-limits, and books required brainspace a dazed new parent simply does not have, audio drama was the perfect platform: one I could privately enjoy in my sleep-deprived state while holding a newborn.
Two years and thousands of hours/dollars later, my deep dive has not stopped.
I've come to love the Divergent Universe so much during this time. I adore the friendly atmosphere, visit it daily as a news digest, and feel I know and respect so many individual posters here (which makes it all the more silly that I've kept it one-way for so long).
Favourite BF releases include the Stranded
series, Jonathan Barnes' run on Sherlock Holmes, Jonathan Morris' Fourth Doctor story
Chase the Night, vast swarths of the Torchwood monthly range (especially
Fall to Earth), and more or less anything John Dorney and Simon Guerrier put to paper.
In my spare time I'm an avid writer/filmmaker and part of a
sketch comedy duo. I'm currently editing a movie-length webseries; a huge labour of love years in the making. I submitted my first Paul Spragg Memorial story last year — a great feeling just to enter — and look forward to making an annual tradition of it.
I also quite enjoy the British television program "Doctor Who". Any fans here?
