Line 1: {{work}} {{quote\| ''The journey of a New Whovian through Classic territory, 140 steps at a time...''}} A <s>mission log</s> ''[[~~Doctor Who (TV)\|~~Doctor Who]]'' archive with a Twitter twist. In January 2010, recent fandom inductee ~~[[Tropers/~~TV Troper Hannahchan~~\|Hannahchan]]~~ was inspired by the Twitter commentary posted by a friend during "The End of Time, Part 2" and wound up adopting the practice in her impending epic venture into the vast world of Classic Who. The rest is history. Begun on her personal [[~~Live Journal~~LiveJournal]] and Twitter accounts in late January 2010 and earning their own a few months later in April, Hannah formats the Classic Who Twitter Blog as a raw account of her grand adventure through the history of her beloved fandom. She limits her comments to Twitter's 140 characters-per-tweet and does no further HTML editing once she transfers the Tweets to the main Blog so as to preserve the original fangasmia. The Blog can be found [http://classicwhoblog.livejournal.com/ here.] The Twitter Live Feed can be found [https://twitter.com/WhoBlogLiveFeed here.] ~~This~~As isof May 2020, this remains an ongoing project with fairly regular updates to the blog, while the Twitter feed has not been updated since 2018. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~=== Related Tropes ===~~ * [[Always Male]]: [[Just for Pun]]. Hannah usually addresses her followers (and the show's creators) as "Guys". * [[Berserk Button]]: Don't let her see companions in heels... Line 28 ⟶ 29: * [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: If ''anything'' seems to have rape-related subtext, most notably Count Grendel's treatment of Romana in "The Androids of Tara", it ''will'' be pointed out. * [[Fan Disservice]]: From the "Spearhead From Space" commentary: {{quote\| "Woah. Wait. Three in shower. What. No. We do not need to see this."}} * [[Flat What]]: In the case of some serials, this is the commentary's lifeblood. You would probably be hard-pressed to find one that ''doesn't'' use this ''repeatedly.'' * [[Freudian Slip]]: Seaman-Master! Line 34 ⟶ 35: * [[Happy Fun Ball]]: The [[Fan Nickname]] for the sphere in "Shada". And the surveillance spheres in "Four to Doomsday." * [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: Happens from time to time. She noted actively trying to think of one for Jon Pertwee's tattoo in the commentary for "The Silurians." * [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Naturally. Line 43 ⟶ 44: * [[Phrase Catcher]]: Most explosions are noted with [[Stuff Blowing Up\|"And then there was a s'plosion!"]] Recent commentaries have started incorporating variants related to the [[Impressive Pyrotechnics\|size of the explosion]] or [[Made of Explodium\|the exploding thing in question.]] * [[Precision F-Strike]]: Used to replace the [[Cluster F-Bomb]], usually in the context of noting a character "freaking the fuck out", but also as a bizarre form of [[Squee]] when she ''finally'' made it to her first Dalek serial: {{quote\| ''FUCK YEAH DALEKS. WE HAVE DALEKS UP IN THIS MOTHERFUCKER. DALEKS. DA. LEKS. DAAAAAAAAAAAALEEEEEEEEEEEEEKS.''}} * [[Punctuated! ~~for~~For! Emphasis!]]: "FOUR. IS. HANGING. OUT OF A WINDOW." "YOU. FUCKING. LIAR." Line 54 ⟶ 55: ** The Counter of Rassilon in "The Five Doctors" commentary (tallying every time someone says "the _______ of Rassilon." {{spoiler\|16, to be precise}}). * [[Screaming Woman]]: In "The Power of Kroll" commentary, Hannah states that she will only be okay with companion-screaming in the event that they are ''actually in immediate and potentially fatal danger.'' * [[Shout -Out]]: Usually to New Who, but also some to our own lovely TV Tropes. * [[Squee]]: Hannah permits herself a good deal of "completely shameless fangirling" during all of the running-through-Paris scenes in "City of Death". * [[Take That]]: Some earlier commentaries attack accusations made by Mightyotaking in his "''Doctor Who'': Old vs. New" video.
