Hi folks. I’m Erika, a geeky gal who started this blog when I undertook the task of knitting the Doctor Who season 18 scarf (the purple/orange/red chenille one). The idea was, as I knitted I’d watch properly geeky tv and movies, then blog about it.
What actually happened was I slacked off in the knitting department, but still wanted to write about random things. Now you’ll find a varied and desultory collection of geektastic musings, but rather little about knitting. I hope they entertain you.* And if they don’t, well, they’re entertaining me at least.
I’m also a podcaster!
- I co-host and produce a Doctor Who podcast called Verity! (where you can find my more-comprehensive and fancy bio).
- I co-host Lazy Doctor Who.
- I co-host The Audio Guide to Babylon 5.
- I co-produce and read fiction and poetry for the Uncanny Magazine Podcast.
- I’m a regular panelist on The Incomparable.
- I play Dungeons and Dragons online on The Incomparable’s Total Party Kill (available in video and audio formats).
- I’m an occasional panelist on Afoot, a mystery podcast on The Incomparable network.
You can find me on twitter @HollyGoDarkly. It’s my favorite place to hang out.

Hello! My name is Derek Gladu, a co-host and producer for Soundonsight.org, a film and television review website. I stumbled upon your blog through the twitterverse, and I really enjoy your work, even though I am a hopelessly irredeemable Pertwee fan.
For more than a year now we have been reviewing both New and Classic Doctor Who, and it has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience so far as The Whoniverse is generally as nice as I hoped it would be.
We have been looking for a special guest host to help us review the upcoming 2012 Christmas Special and we are wondering if you would be interested in joining us in a little Whovian cross pollination. I understand that schedules are a little tight during the holidays, but as our guest we would work entirely around a time of your convenience.
Should you be interested and available during the holidays we could have a little chat on Skype later on in order to work out all the details together.
I thank you for your time, look forward to talking to you soon, and wish you all the best.
Hello Erika,
After hearing the incomparable game show a few times using your Trivia Pursuit addiction I had an idea. I love the TPKILL podcast and have listened through the catalog multiple times. Yes I just can’t get enough of Kat’cha and her singing. What if I made up a series of questions and categories Trivia Pursuit Style and you have any TPKILL player or DM be a contestant? I think it would be fun and may get some more incomparable listeners interested in TPKILL after hearing the guys and gals laugh while reminiscing about those adventures.
Example off the top of my head
Category: Critical Fail
On his first adventure this character leapt into action resulting in a unpleasant meeting with the lead bad guy.

What are your thoughts on this idea?
Interesting idea! I’ll keep it in mind, and float it past the group.
