jeriendhalWith the commentary running, and in the first episode I believe it was A.C Chapin (who plays Ace) complaining that there's no Ace/Ray slash out there. [1]
Um, let me work on that guys. I'll need a break from LotRV eventually...
(And could someone explain why Time Rift doesn't have a TvTropes page yet?)
[1] For those who are not extremely fannish old school Whovians out there, here's the history lesson. Once upon a time Jon Blum, the same one who went on to be a popular New Adventures author along with his wife, Kate Orman, was a college student with a group of friends, a video camera, and a pretty good replica of Sylvester McCoy's DW costume. So he and friends A.C. Chapin and Amy Steele wrote up a script for a four episode serial involving the titular rift, daleks, the Master and a whole lot of location shooting around Washington DC.[2]
And along the way, even counting the usual amateur actors, do it yourself costumes, uneven continuity (including a truly epic actor switch involving fake moustaches) it actually turned out to be the best damned fan production of Doctor Who you've ever seen prior to the YouTube era. Mostly because of Jon's obsession with getting right, along with pretty good original music and some excellent video effects from A Miracle of Science's Mark Sachs.
[2] Including the DC Metro, which real film production companies usually don't bother with because its too much of a hassle trying to get permission for an action sequence.
