Boy, and I thought David Tennant would go down in history as the Prettyboy Doctor. I figure either the BBC is actively trying to provoke fanlust, or he's just that good. Let's hope it's the latter. On the brighter side of things, the amount of new bad 10/Rose fics will probably go down...probably.

The hair is a bit silly, though. Maybe we should throw Sylar at him. Sylar is very good at haircuts.

Have to admit, I was rather hoping for an older Doctor in the style of OldWho, but I'll reserve judgement until we've seen him onscreen. Hey, is it true that a ton of fans threw tantrums when they heard that Christopher Eccleston left, causing the Outpost Gallifrey boards to go down? Is something like that going to happen again?

People seem to have covered most of my favorites, so I'll just post a few:

Shortpacked!--set in a retail toy store, the comic mainly focuses on the lives of the cast, but occasionally throws in comics that make fun of various fandoms--primarily the DC comics universe and Transformers, but it includes others. It makes fun of fandoms and fan antics in the way only a veteran greek would know how to do. Screamingly funny, with a spinoff comic posted on Mondays. www.shortpacked.com

The 10 Doctors--This is actually a fan webcomic, but it's so awesome I had to include it. It's a Doctor Who comic wherein all ten regenerations of the Doctor are brought together for unknown reasons and, in typical Doctor fashion, get caught up in all sorts of strange adventures. It captures the spirit of the show perfectly and is a must-read (in my humble opinion) for anyone who's ever enjoyed the show. comics.shipsinker.com/

Errant Story--A half-elf mage decides to take over the world for a school project. On the way, she gets caught up in a rather spectacular adventure. I get the feeling that the authors set out to write a different story than they ended up with, since the beginning is fairly different from the rest of the story, but it's still a pretty great fantasy webcomic in my opinion.

And here's a link for it. It's funnier if you play D&D or at least know some of the terminology.

I also enjoy the following:

Ctrl+Alt+Del (CAD) - Generally a good laugh, even if you're not a gamer (which I'm not).

DAR: A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary - Nothing like the title indicates. It's crude, lewd, and pulls no punches on things like lesbianism, nudity, sex, pimples, boogers, and other things normally not mentioned in polite conversation. Also totally awesome.

Looking for Group (LFG) - Funnier if you have at least a passing awareness of World of Warcraft.

Casey and Andy - Ended, so no new comics, but full of mad science and geek humor.

I think the rest of mine have been mentioned already.

Well, that settles it. I just wanted 1138 because...do you really have to ask? :p

The fic I'm levelling my sights at: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4614344/1/ItsMyLife

That's about it I think. *smiles*

At $60 a pair. Of course, this *might* be an example of jacking the Americans' prices up.

Her agents, that is. It was kind of a running joke that no one knew where 32A was, as I recall.

There's only two of them (32C and 32D). Could be that they're for agents created by the same author.

My agents are in 80s as they mainly work in fandoms that were on TV in the eighties. But I also use an RC that has not yet received a number (I figured it would be easier to find as you wouldn't know what you were looking for).

Very few people seem to know the answer to my question, so I thought I’d come to you and see what you thought.

Where exactly is the line drawn between M and NC-17 (or MA as FF now uses)? Because I have a number of stories planned that I don’t particularly want to get banned for (on this note, do people get a warning first, or are they instantly kicked off?).

What is the line between M and MA for gore? What is the line for swearing? Most importantly, what is the line between M and MA in regards to sexual content? Is there a line at all, or is it just depending on the context it's in and the administrator who sees it?

Not my type. Here's another one, which I attempted to introduce before:

Hope you like them!

Also, I'm sorry. Again. I just don't like being reminded of my old crimes against the PPC Canon.

No Rest For The Wicked

Sorry - I'm bad at html.

But that link doesn't lead anywhere.

I guess I'm the unofficial editor of the List of RCs. I don't know why the trend has started with the number 32, but it's fine to add letters after a RC number. (The problem arises with adding letters BEFORE the number. Only Jay and Acacia have that.)

You can probably do anything you want. But I'm not the expert. :)

Now here's two Monster cards...(and another location card)
You can tell I'm busy wasting my time as well.

Adventurers!, which mocks typical video-game traits. Warning: it's way long. As in, there are probably multiple hundred strips numbered 999, and then all the epilogues.

Anti-Hero for Hire, which is about superheroes in a future where Canada invaded the northern United States using genetically altered dinosaurs. It's by the same guy as Adventurers!, above.

Darths and Droids, which posits Star Wars as a role-playing game, and completely subverts all expectations.

Girl Genius, which you've already mentioned.

Irregular Webcomic, which has just about everything. Especially Legos and plastic allosaurs. It's been going every day since late 2001, so there're a few strips to get through.

Narbonic, now ended, which is about a mad scientist's lab. It's rather wacky and very gripping.

The Order of the Stick, which pokes at RPG traits. It started developing a story early, and weathered the transition very well, although Vaarsuvius is annoying me lately.

PS 328, which you've already mentioned.

Skin Horse, which is about a government agency that deals with products of mad science. It's by the same person as Narbonic, above.

Interesting true fact: except for Girl Genius, I got to all of these because I was reading Order of the Stick. Much of that was because it led me to TV Tropes, which has links to just about anywhere and everywhere.

But do you know which Department you'll be wanting your agents to work in? Because if you want to write for the DMS, reading DMS missions is more important than reading DBS ones, for you to get an idea of how things work. And I'm sure hS will jump in with a link to Crashing Down et al soon enough; it's not stuff that you absolutely need to know, but he's been writing the history of various major events, and it's interesting stuff, and generally accepted as fairly canonical since half the Board views him as some sort of minor deity.

As for changes, so long as stuff's plausible and doesn't wildly counteract what anyone else has written, you should be okay. Killing off the Sunflower Official in a mission, for example, probably wouldn't go down all that well. And if in doubt you can always ask.
