Excerpts from Jules Asner's second annual post-Adrics report from This Time Round. ***** [Long shot of a crowd of people including DAWN SUMMERS and several DOCTORs.] DAWN I got a double! Everyone had a double but me! Now I'm *somebody*, because somebody thinks I'm interesting enough to be two of! [DOCTOR THREE and DOCTOR SEVEN stomp off in huffs.] ***** [CLIVE MAY, much the worse for wear despite his Best Roundrobin Chapter statuette, and his henchfigments BOB THE PTERODACTYL and PELLICUDA PELICAN sipping brews at a table.] CLIVE I told you a net would have been better. BOB But you did land in a net, Boss. CLIVE What? What net? BOB The internet! Ha ha! [Laughs uproariously. CLIVE is not as amused.] ***** [PAUL GADZIKOWSKI and PERI, each with a Best DOCTOR WHO Character statuette.] PAUL It's great to be nominated and good to win. But I was as much or more pleased to see those nominations I made accruing votes as I was to watch the tallies for my own nominated stuff. ***** [SAINT PUDENTIANA THE FAIRY BANE (who looks a lot like Sarah Michelle Gellar, but whose clothing is an odd mix of contemporary southern California and Imperial Rome) is making a scene at SPACE MERLIN.] PUDENTIANA We're talking my final season-arc villian here! Gwyn ap Nud, king of Annfwn! Son of the guy you killed in 'State of Decay' and I killed my first season - after he killed me - and then I had to crush Nud's bones to keep him from coming back too! It's all I can do to keep all the potential Fairy Banes alive - and Gwyn isn't even material yet!! MERLIN Outside continuity - PUDENTIANA And now here he is threatening Adrics presenters!! MERLIN Well, you know, revisionist interpretations of classical characters such as ourselves - PUDENTIANA Oh so he's a good guy now?! Well okay, the yowie crossover sculpture of Gaia wasn't - MERLIN Amber. PUDENTIANA What? MERLIN It wasn't a sculpture of Genuissa's witch friend. It was a sculpture of the ceremony hostess. PUDENTIANA And Amber has to do with this Buffy person I hear about? MERLIN The jury's apparently still out on that but I think - PUDENTIANA THE POINT IS - yeah, it was a rotten practical joke but does the guy deserve to have a manipulative, astral-projecting king of all Fairie on his butt about it? [During PUDENTIANA's speech, BUFFY and DAWN pass by in the background. DAWN points at PUDENTIANA and shakes BUFFY's shoulder wildly but BUFFY drags her offscreen.] Who is this Tod guy anyway? MERLIN He's one of the villains of 'Dark Carnival', I believe. [PUDENTIANA falls silent a moment.] PUDENTIANA So how's Nimue taking it, losing out to the redneck and the genetics experiment? ***** [Long shot of all the Best Original or Crossover Character nominees sitting at one table together. NUMBER ONE is unable to get a word in edgewise until he dumps his ice water over herself. MAGNUS is not even trying.] Part One - Part Two - Part Three - Part Four - Part Five - Credits
