Elizabeth Sandifer created Eruditorum Press. She’s not really sure why she did that, and she apologizes for the inconvenience. She currently writes Last War in Albion, a history of the magical war between Alan Moore and Grant Morrison. She used to write TARDIS Eruditorum, a history of Britain told through the lens of a ropey sci-fi series. She also wrote Neoreaction a Basilisk, writes comics these days, and has ADHD so will probably just randomly write some other shit sooner or later. Support Elizabeth on Patreon.

    Re the market: I'm not up to "significant portion of your household income" yet, but I've been doing some research. For ebooks, there seems to be a significant amount of "long tail", as long as you produce consistently – old ones keep selling, not hugely, but significantly.

    Well, I'm looking to be a writer in the future so I will await the survey answers just as you are. I've been waiting for this thread all week because I wanted to bring up a small discussion.

    First, though, I had an unusual Doctor Who-themed dream last night in which each student in my English class was assigned to watch a Doctor Who serial (and apparently nothing from the 80s were included) and keep track of several recurring motifs or themes or what have you. The number of things you had to keep track of depended on how many episodes were in your serial…and I had The War Games. I planned to keep track of the bad Southern accents. Someone was more unfortunate and got The Daleks' Master Plan, and I tried to explain that only 3 of those episodes existed.

    Anyway, I wanted to bring up this blog's statistics, which I've found interesting. The only other new series post to make it into the Top 10 aside from "Rose" is Only Human…does anyone know why? Was it posted somewhere else? And, recently, The Chase and The Dalek Invasion of Earth have jumped up. (On the other hand, it makes sense that the Daily Mail post would be the only off-day post to be up there.)

    I also noticed that the "I, Personally, Like These Posts" haven't been updated since the Virgin era. I nominate the TV movie!

    Now that the TV Movie has fallen off the top ten it will go on the I, Personally list as soon as I update that. But right now I'm kind of staring at the whole thing because, puzzlingly, the stats there don't match Blogger's overall record of pageviews – it seems like recent page views are given slightly more credit somehow. I'm really not sure why or how, but I can find two distinct counts of pageviews for each post, and they produce very different lists.

    The Chase and Dalek Invasion of Earth have been getting an oddly high amount of traffic this week, and I don't know why – there's no obvious inbound link that explains it. Probably Twitter or Facebook, which is hard to follow back.

    Only Human was linked by Gareth Roberts, which created a massive traffic spike in about one hour that ensures its place on the top ten.

    So basically, those lists aren't currently doing what I originally intended and I'm thus a bit puzzled by them and not sure what to do. I'm doing an overall table of contents for the blog this week, and will probably think about what an "essential posts" list should look like once that's done.

    Nope. But they've got 1200 and 800 views this week respectively. Oddly, no link in my log accounts for those kinds of numbers, so I'm really at a loss for what happened there.

    Follow-up thought on The Banality of Evil. That episode of Torchwood where Owen discovers a bunch of people running a Fight Club with those alien Weevil things? Someone really should have retitled that "The Banality of Weevils".

    Now I'm thinking back about the old 'Professor X Programme Guide' and 'Doctor Who Alternative Program Guide' websites. ('Head from Ace' was one of the latter). I was partial to the pair of Pertwee serials about Don Pell: Don Pell's Thingy and Oh Bugger, It's Don Pell. Also, the one where, due to a production error, the entire episode is in Spanish and the official episode title is "El Professor Mysterio y El Crabs Loco del Itchy-Stichy"

    Also The Lies of the Doctor, but that's a bit straightforward, and I'm trying to set up a spatial double meaning thing with "lies". Anybody?
