A mission log Doctor Who archive with a Twitter twist.In January 2010, recent fandom inductee Hannahchan (real name Hannah J. Rothman) 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 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 here.The Twitter Live Feed can be found here.The blog is currently being collected into print and ebook collections with new exclusive content in the form of Twitter Who.This is an ongoing project with fairly regular updates.

comment
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.

comment
Cluster F-Bomb: Happened a lot in earlier commentaries, but less so after Hannah decided to opt for a less foulmouthed mode of expressing herself in times of crazy things happening. Nowadays, Curse Cut Short and Precision F-Strike act as substitutes.

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.

Running Gag: Hannah was keeping a scorecard for the Doctor, UNIT, and the Silurians during the first two viewing sessions of "The Silurians". It was dropped accidentally because the weekend-long wait for the second disk to arrive caused her to forget about it. The Counter of Rassilon in "The Five Doctors" commentary (tallying every time someone says "the _______ of Rassilon." 16, to be precise).
