The Whoverse and the Briblogosphere

I should really be in bed right now. No, but really. I’m already sleep deprived as it is an dangerously close to falling behind on my classes. Yes, already. That might just be the exhaustion and pre-stress talking, but whatever. On a vaguely related note, I feel like I haven’t just talked to you guys in a while. That will change… soonish. Not now. Maybe not even this week. But I promise to post a talk-bloggy-blog soon. Ish. But I really just needed to get this post out.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, recently there’s been a Doctor Who-trend to a lot of my posts. At first, they were innocently tied in to bigger emotional and societal issues so as not to alienate people unfamiliar with the “WhoVerse”. But lately they’ve been getting more and more specific and in depth, starting with The David Tennant Epilogue post a few weeks ago. And so I started wondering.

Remember how for a while I had a separate politics blog? I haven’t posted in almost a year (sorry) but it’s sort of lost its usefulness because I can once again post freely on this site because I like keeping everything together. Unfortunately, Who is not as easily identified with as politics, where anyone who knows anything will have an opinion. And I’ve got a lot more Who-heavy posts planned, especially once the new series begins.

In fact, I’m thinking of doing an episode-by-episode review of the fifth season, and maybe of the sixth as well, as it comes out. That will make no sense to the people who have never seen Doctor Who, which again poses the problem of alienation. And I don’t want people to think that I’ll only be posting Who-themed blogs from now on. You’ll get classic Bri’s Own World stuff as well.

So here’s the question: would you rather I posted my Who-specific posts somewhere else, like an independent Blogspot? I’m rather fond of Blogspot. Or Tumblr. I might make a non-secret Who Tumblr. (For the record, I honestly don’t post on my secret Tubmlr that often. I’m not enough used to having one that it occurs to me to post there. So you guys really aren’t missing anything)

Would that be preferable to just having everything that comes into my head come out on this website? Or do you not mind if there are some posts that don’t relate to anything you understand? I can at least promise to stagger my Who posts in between more familiar ones.

There’s your query, now onto a secondary thought I had. I’ve decided to start reviewing every book I read on here, as it’s been a while since there were legitimate literature reviews on this site. Is that ok? One post is already out, and I’ve got at least two more already scheduled. I also might review every new movie I see, but I’m more on the fence about that one.

OK. I’m gonna chat with Dion for a bit longer on Facebook and then get me some sleep. Goodnight, and I hope you’ll respond! I don’t mind one way or the other!

*PS- I’m not crying in the thumbnail picture. It’s the sleep. Also my eyes are dry. So very dry.
