Excerpt from: Down the Wormhole
The Portal opens in Sherwood Forest in 1193. It is the Merry Men who discover it. After the initial shock had worn off, Robin decides that taking people through the portal would be an effective way of fighting against the Sheriff of Nottingham’s power.

It doesn’t take long for the Sheriff (and Prince John’s advisors) to suspect that something is amiss., especially as less taxes are collected and once populous villages appear more and more deserted. Indeed, more people are brought into Nottinghamshire from elsewhere in England.

This doesn’t last long. Guy of Gisbourne discovers the portal early in 1194. The Sheriff doesn’t believe him at first, but orders are given to secure it. However, the Merry Men are able to hold it for an additional year while more people are sent through. The Sheriff then hunts for Robin and the Merry Men on the other side.

Excerpt from: Thirteen and Sixteen
The Doctor followed Xavier out of the TARDIS. She didn’t want to talk to Xavier about regeneration yet. She wasn’t sure how he would react. She looked around. The ship had landed near the Tokyo Tower. She remembered that her previous self had landed somewhere near the bay. “Unlikely,” she considered.

“So, where to avoid?” Xavier asked.

“It’s not so easy as that,” the Doctor objected.

In your own space, tell us about 3 creative/fannish resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom or like many people at the moment, fannishly adrift right now) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Daria
The Paperpusher's Message Board: http://www.thepaperpusher.net/forum/
The oldest message board in Daria Fandom, with messages from as early as the 2000s. Requires registration to view (with new members required to post at least once within two days).

The Lawndale High Board: https://lawndale-high.freeforums.net/
A much newer message board (created after difficulties with the previous administration of PPMB). Also requires registration to view (but without the requirement to post wthin two days).

Both boards aren't all that busy, given the age of the fandom, so all the merrier. (And maybe that Jodie movie will bring in new people?)

Daria Fandom Blog 2: http://dariablog2.blogspot.com/
Where a member of the fandom publishes links to new and/or updated fanfiction and discussions and announcements within the fandom.
