Sure took me longer than I'd expected, but the formatting overhaul is now complete. All of the links should be up-to-date. (Though I did notice an oddity--we're using one thread for all four Dark Eyes boxsets, which seems kinda weird... this one of those releases that predates the forum?)
I decided to keep the duplicate links because I think their presence makes the Index more helpful (EG you can easily see all of Colin Baker's audios in a single category, rather than four or five)... but due to the character limits, this required chopping the Index in half and splitting it between two posts. Luckily I'd already posted some rather pointless text in the #2 post, so it was an easy move to make. Hopefully this should future-proof things, as now the Index can effectively double in size before this becomes a problem again.

So it's been a while since the last update, but everything should be added (plus a few minor formatting errors fixed) now.
Still kinda mixed on the double-listing. It makes updating more tedious, which might become increasingly annoying over time.

Okay, if any of y'all happen to see this, I've got a question.
Right now the 8DAs are sorted in more-or-less chronological order. But the upcoming Further Adventuress kinda throws a wrench in my organization (because of course it does) -- it's classified not as a Charlotte Pollard boxset ft. McGann, but rather an 8DA boxset ft. Fisher.
So: do I classify this as 8DA 22, which would place it after Stranded 4, or do what I've done for other ranges (EG Benny, 7th Doctor) and tag it as an 8DA SP to indicate that it sits outside the conventional continuity?

Go with the Occam's Razor solution. It might eliminate the need to further reshuffle down the line if we end up having a further Further Adventuress boxset somewhere down the line. (I'm currently trying to do something similar with my own collection of Monthly Range stories, at the moment. To eliminate confusion. Maybe, possibly, conceivably, hopefully...)

(I'm currently trying to do something similar with my own collection of Monthly Range stories, at the moment. To eliminate confusion. Maybe, possibly, conceivably, hopefully...) Yeah, that's probably easiest. What are you thinking of doing for your MRs? I think I'm pretty well organized, personally, but only because I've split everything into two groups: the MRs and everything else. Which... is not ideal. Currently all I've really managed to do to kinda-sorta make things more coherent is put the Doctor's numbers in brackets at the end of the files... though I've considered doing the same with companions. Though that doesn't really help when it comes to the wonky story arcs. Maybe parentheticals with arc names & numbers? EG "MR# Title [Doctor] (Arc #)" though that may also be problematic due to how loosely "arc" can be defined. Like w/r/t arcs we probably mostly refer to the Hex Arc, but that arc, such as it is, is pretty episodic... and also ties in weirdly to the Nimrod Arc.

Look, let's not lose sight of our goal here: 100 pages of posts. It doesn't matter how we get there, so long as we get there.

Do we really need four total discussion threads? I get the reasoning for the 10DAs and 4DAs -- those stories are also sold individually -- but as far as I can see, this is not the case for the 9DAs. People either buy all three at once, or none at all, right?
(Trying desperately not to sound, I dunno, persnickety? Is that a word anyone understands? It just seems better to consolidate where possible, and that character limit is a very real threat here....)

I think it helps if people want to discuss a specific story without worrying about encountering spoilers for the other ones they haven't listened to yet.

Updated formatting and added some missing entries. Will try to fix weird font scaling tomorrow... hopefully this can be done without adding too many additional characters to the BBCode.
Current,y slightly confused about how to classify the upcoming Peladon boxset. Currently have it in the Worlds of Doctor Who category, as it seems to be told from the POV of the Peladon natives (Peladonites?) but it could also fit as a WHOSP (along with, say, Graceless and Masterful) due to the presence of Colin Baker and Paul McGann.

If the stories are all part of one box set, the discussion of the stories can and should be in one thread. This is pretty much what we've done in the past, one thread for all the stories in a box set. We don't make individual threads for each story in a box set.
