Doctor Who Facts! (also known as WHOFAX) was a popular comedy project I wrote and illustrated over on Twitter and Tumblr. It was a feed of satirical comedy “facts” about Doctor Who, my longtime favorite scifi TV franchise, and its cast, crew, history, culture, fandom and more.
It started back in 2010 as a little Twitter joke I shared with a few friends in fandom, and I focused mainly on cracking them up. Pretty soon it began to get noticed and followed by others. It gathered momentum and eventually became surprisingly popular with online fandom, earning appreciative mentions in forums as well as fan media including the official Doctor Who Magazine. It got kudos from fans, journalists, and even Doctor Who cast and crew members who were wonderfully good sports about it.
It was a Twitter and Tumblr account, neither of which are services I use anymore, but some effort will probably be made to properly restore and preserve the content of the project here. The trouble with time-travel-based frippery is, of course, that one never seems to find the time.
