“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.
Because if you are making...”

phonyrevolutions asked: oh my god! you posted the poster I made for your new year wish! (even though someone else posted it, but nevermind)... Anyway, I love you man, I hope you and Amanda have the best of years next year, and I hope we get to see you down here in Argentina some time real soon! Love from a big fan of both you and your amazing wife!
starkravingdane asked: There's a meme that goes around now and again that starts with "PERFECT COUPLES DON'T EXIS -- " and then has a picture of an allegedly perfect couple, implying that the speaker was cut off and their argument rendered invalid because there is, indeed, a perfect couple. Usually this sort of thing grates on my nerves, but if someone made one about you and Amanda, I'd reblog...
sonicwarhammer-deactivated20130 asked: How much creative freedom do they give you when they ask you to write an episode of Doctor Who? How far will they let you go as far as changing or bending the rules in an episode?
nmlss asked: What are your toughts about being at the tumblr's filmmakers spotlight instead of the writers one?
hodgepodge-ofablog asked: The TARDIS has landed on your doorstep, but the Doctor only has time for one adventure before going off to save the universe again. Where do you go? Forwards, backwards, or to another planet?
shes-just-like-the-weather asked: I got a Kindle for Christmas (yay, lucky me!) and the first author I looked up was you. Obviously, nothing came up. I was wondering, would you ever publish as e-books or are you against the idea? I will still buy hard copy books (especially if they're yours) but I think it's good to have the option to buy really big books on Kindle so they don't take up so much room.
elstupacabra asked: I don't know if anyone's ever asked this, but how do you determine what you will read aloud at public appearances?
maiamadness:

Tests Cast Doubt on F.A.A. Restrictions on Kindle... →
Gadgets are tested by monitoring the number of volts per meter coming off a device. The F.A.A. requires that before a plane can be approved as safe, it must be able to withstand up to 100 volts per meter of electrical interference.
When EMT Labs put an Amazon Kindle through a number of tests, the company consistently found that this e-reader emitted less than 30 microvolts per meter when in use....

room-to-let-deactivated20120828 asked: What is your stance on people pirating eBooks? Sir Terry has taken a rather aggressive approach but is it really any different from borrowing a book from the library? (I haven't pirated a book by the way, I live literally 5 minutes from a library... for now :c )
amiriadelal asked: I have never read anything by you, but I have a very strong feeling I would love your writing. My problem, is that I feel like I have missed out on so much of your work, I have no clue where to start. What would you suggest? I'm fairly interested in Science-Fiction or things that make my mind bend; but, I'll read just about anything. So, I guess, what are you most proud of?
ecmelon asked: Neil, I have to say that you gave me the highlight of my Christmas. Before opening presents with my family, I was sitting in the living room watching Doctor Who, and the episode was The Doctor's Wife. My family came in and joined me at some point. None of them watch Doctor Who, but when the episode ended and the Doctor said goodbye to Idris, I looked up at them and all of them had tears in...

According to a report by the Knight-Batten Award-winning nonprofit MAPLight, the 32 sponsors of the bill received just under $2 million in campaign contributions from the movie, music, and TV entertainment industries.

“Kids these days.
What with their ukuleles and their homespun ballads about the sci-fi series “Dr. Who,” and their addictive EPs and ability to get famous authors to pay attention to their ukulele music about minor plot twists on “Dr. Who.” I mean, am I right or am I right? Or maybe that’s...
