I <3 Matthew Sweet.

And I never knew! How did I not realize that three of my all-time favorite Big Finish audios were all written by the same guy?! I am shocked and appalled at my own cluelessness.

Anyway, I've never met Matthew Sweet (sadly, but maybe he'll be at a future con?) but apparently I am utterly in love with his writing. The Bernice Summerfield audio Diet of Worms, the Seventh Doctor audio The Magic Mousetrap, and the Sixth Doctor audio Year of the Pig are all him. I listen to those audios so often I have them pretty well memorized. I am floored that they are all by the same dude. I need more Matthew Sweet. I especially need him to write more Benny.

According to your friend and mine, Wikipedia, he's also written a couple of short trips. Namely, The Lampblack Wars and The Earwig Archipelago. Has anyone here read those? What were they about? Any good?

Oh, Matthew Sweet. Please write more Doctor Who! YOU PLEASE ME!!!

The Lampblack Wars is a Three and Sarah story in The History of Christmas (which I got for Xmas, aptly enough!). It's a fascinating story, actually - I enjoyed it.

The Earwig Archipelago is in Time Signature - and is a bit more surreal (features aliens disguised as earwigs) - it features Six and an OC who's in much of the book.

Ooooo! I am intrigued! I gotta try and find those somewhere to download so I can read them. Thanks!

Oh, he's lovely, Mr Sweet. Works a lot on TV and radio here on arts programmes and such like, does documentaries about obscure British films, and has written a very witty and readable book about exploring the Victorian age.

Is he, now? Well, he's no Rob Shearman, but he is definitely to my taste. Or at least his writing is. How about convincing him to come to a US con? If not, you can let him know a friend of yours is fangirling him. ;-)
