Obverse Books has announced a new charity anthology, The Curse of Fanfic, raising money for Parkinson’s UK. But if you want to grab a copy, you need to be quick – the order window shuts on 1st September 2020.

This new paperback features contributions from a number of familiar Doctor Who names, including Paul Magrs (Mad Dogs and Englishmen) and Big Finish’s John Dorney (whose audio stories include numerous Eighth Doctor boxsets, like Dark Eyes, Doom Coalition, and Stranded).

Here’s the blurb for The Curse of Fanfic:

Have you ever made up your own stories based on favourite telly shows, or wondered what would happen if two or more of your most loved characters came together in one great mash-up of an adventure?

Between these covers you’ll find such unexpected bedfellows as Basil Brush and Larry Grayson, Steve Zodiac and the Alien Facehuggers, Doomwatch and Tomorrow’s World, Inspector Gadget and the Cybermen, and many more.

Edited by Paul Castle, creator of legendary fanzine Shooty Dog Thing, with new fiction from the likes of Iain McLaughlin, Paul Magrs, John Dorney and many others!

The Curse of Fanfic is available to order now, with the usual limited window for ordering (until 1st September), in paperback.
