Introductions

Oh yes, introductions. I forgot about one of these when I made my account back whenever it was. (I don't think I've actually posted on here, at any rate, so this'll be my introductory post). Yes, so, as those of you know me from the wiki and Discord will know, I'm Aquanafrahudy (named for a character from one of my many books who I happened to like the name of - this is actually a shortening of the original name, which basically came out of me banging on the keyboard a bit (I was eight at the time)). Anyhow, I try to write stuff occasionally, and sometimes it's Faction Paradox adjacent, I wrote "The Goblin, the Witch, and the Kitchen Sink" for the aforementioned Book of the Snowstorm, and a bunch of vignettes for the same, and some of them were Faction Paradox-y. (The dream, of course, is to write for FP proper, and I'm still holding out hope for that).

Anyhow, I first learnt of Faction Paradox very early on, when I was first getting into Who, I found it's Wikipedia page, and I didn't really know what it was, and I wouldn't for a while until I found Tardis Wiki, which was really very good for getting into it, oh, and something recommended Alien Bodies as a good EDA, so that was my second EDA, and I liked it. I also did Interference Part 1, and later Erasing Sherlock and the audios, and I've read the crossovers in Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids (and indeed the rest of The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids). I also did the comics quite early on, I think they may have been some of my first FP stuff, I found them a bit incomprehensible the first time round. Oh, and I read Down the Middle fairly recently, as well. So, a very random collection of stuff. When the new website came up, I read that lot of stuff too, because why not. Oh, and I've done bits of Book of the War.

So, my favourite FP stories. Prooobably the first series of audios. I absolutely adore the characters in that, they're so much fun. And the ideas in Book of the War are so absolutely marvellous, as well. Erasing Sherlock was a lovely story, if slightly traumatising in parts. Oh, and Alien Bodies. Gotta love Alien Bodies. Come to think of it, I haven't really done all that much FP, but I know a lot about it due to how much I've talked to FP fans and read the wiki. But still, it's good, I like it.

Anyhow, favourite non-FP stuff. Pratchett, obviously, gotta love a bit of Pratchett. I absolutely adore Narnia, Alice in Wonderland, Call the Midwife, I, Claudius, PG Wodehouse, a good deal of children's literature, especially fantasy, good emotionally-driven stuff as well. I am currently enjoying Yeats, and Jasper Fforde is a Pratchett-esque author I really enjoy. Oh, and Douglas Adams, of course. Diane Duane's Young Wizards series is very good, too, and yes, a lot of things, actually. Quite broad, too. Gotta love the classics, like The Secret Garden, Little Women, etc., also really love Dr Seuss and Julia Donaldson, they're old favourites. Monty Python, as well, I'm currently watching that and it's very good. Oh, and Blackadder, Ghosts, Fawlty Towers, and the like. I grew up with Enid Blyton, so retain a soft spot for her stuff, and Winnie the Pooh is wonderful. Yes, so that's a quite comprehensive overview of non-Doctor Who stuff. My favourite Doctor Who stories are probably, in that order, Hell Bent, Human Nature (novel), The Gunfighters, the Web Planet, The Highlanders, and the Underwater Menace, though all of those but Hell Bent are pretty much interchangeable. My favourite Doctor is either 12 or 1, depending on how I'm feeling, 7 is also great.

And yes, that's me, probably, and here we are.
