Issue 12 - OUT NOW!!!

Image
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOW SOLD OUT After such a short run of Doctor Who this year, you'd think we won't have much to badger on about? Well, sadly, you'll be wrong, as here we present the biggest issue of the fanzine yet, weighing in at an unprecedented 56 pages !  It's so big, we've had offers from Celebrity Fit Club (lets face it - we're probably more famous than half of those people in the jungle with Colin Baker at the moment. And fatter)  If you're a fan of reading actual words, then this is the issue for you!  Due to the cost of producing these novels, we've only got a very limited run, so any support we get (i.e. if you buy one) will be greatly appreciated . Here is a list of the following stuff you will find in the latest issue: Reviews of Series 7.1 (or whatever you call it) Mary Tamm - The Key To The Key To Time The Doctor and The Ripper - what links The Doctor with Whitechapel's mysterious murderer? Cyberman No3 - A b...

Begging Bowls and Selling Souls

As the new series is currently being filmed, we're still beavering away, attempting to bring you all the latest guff from the Doctor Who underground.  And we are underground - as I said - we're beavering away.  The last few months has seen a frightening drop in people sending stuff in (which is understandable, what with the series not being on, and all) and a quite alarming rise in postal prices here in the UK (which isn't understandable. They're just robbing bastards).  We can deal with the postal charges (no change in the prices for our readers) but we really need more contributions from people in order to maintain our existence.  If you fancy seeing your work in the fanzine please get in touch via fishcustardfanzine@googlemail.com   I can't stress enough that we'll accept ANYTHING as long as it's well written/drawn.  We exist to offer fans like you a view, so there is no agenda here to promote a particular point of view.  You can even write someth...

We would say that this Issue would make a perfect Christmas present for any loved one. But it’s homemade, put together by a bumbling, barely-educated simpleton and posted out in cheap envelopes. It’s also very well written too! So yes, we can say that a copy of Fish Custard Fanzine Issue 3 is the perfect present for any (over 15) Doctor Who fan this Christmas! In this snow-filled, beer-stained, turkey-stuffed Issue of Fish Custard, we have the following, Interviews with the Absolute David Tennant Fangirls Drunken Adventures At A Convention – Says it all The Sarah (Jane) Awards Stageplays Overview – An Overview of the Doctor Who Stageplays, obviously Computer Games Overview – An Overview of Doctor Who computer games, obviously The Doctor vs. Edward Cullen – A Fight For A Girl's Attentions And much more!

Issue 2 Production Notes

The trick to producing fanzines, on time and brimming with content, is making sure you plan ahead. I had made sure that almost half of Issue 2 was written, before I had even finished Issue 1! It’s easy just to bung in random stuff in an issue, but it’s more difficult to find the right balance, in terms of the styles and subjects of the articles. One of the things I want the fanzine to do, is to introduce the people who have become fans during the series post-2005, to look back at the vast history of Doctor Who and learn. It’s the most fascinating thing I find about the program, even more so than the actual episodes themselves! Hopefully, during the run of the fanzine, we’ll be able to delve more into this rich, illustrious history which makes Doctor Who more than just a television program. On a similar vein, I also enjoy reading accounts of fans from outside of the UK. The article in Issue 2 from Tom Spychalski, about his childhood spent watching Doctor Who via PBS, are very educationa...
