Hands up everyone who saw THAT coming!

Only Big Finish is surprised by this.

Big Finish has just announced the results of their competition, which was for un(professionally)published authors to send in a "How the Doctor Changed My Life" story. The grand prize is to be published in a Short Trips anthology.

The grand prize winner is indeed in that anthology, and his story will appear among those of established authors.

However, in the 1,000 entries they received were enough excellent stories that they have basically announced that there will also be a Short Trips anthology that consists entirely of the 25 closest runners-up.

I think that's because a lot of New Who fans don't know about Big Finish yet. My panel at Media*West was a ballroomful, of whom only about 3 walked in knowing what I was talking about.

(It's my understanding that the first time they ran a contest, they expected maybe 30 entries and got 100. They should have learned then. It's only going to get worse!)
