In the 21st century, Whovians across the world are privileged enough to watch the adventures of their favourite travelling Time Lord on a host of streaming platforms, Iplayer, websites, and on other forms of HD content. Not that long ago, Doctor Who fans had to work a great deal harder to enjoy their favourite program. Back during the 60s and 70s, there was no chance of watching any of your favourite programs whenever you wished. Television worked in an entirely different medium. Back then, episodes usually only screened the once. If you missed it, you missed it. Repeat episode screenings were rare, and although fans could read the novelisations of stories, the chance of rewatching episodes whenever you liked on any form of platform was unthinkable. That all changed with the advent of the revolutionary home media format. The very first story to come out on VHS by the BBC was Revenge Of The Cybermen in 1983. Since then, the home media format of Doctor Who has been one of the most important forms of merchandise to have existed for fans. Video allowed fans to experience stories for the first time and allowed them to watch them essentially whenever they wanted. The range would continue until 2003, and generated one of the longest VHS ranges of any program or series ever. This book takes a fascinating look at the entire history of the VHS range, and one of the most interesting forms of Who media to date. Over the twenty years the range spanned, the range provided exciting video specials, record-breaking sales, and a lifeline for fans to continue the flame of their favourite series in more ways than one. The successful sales of the videos allowed the show to be kept in the minds of the general public throughout the entire Wilderness years, the gap between the end of the Classic Series from 1989 to the start of the Revived era in 2005. This is the entire history of the BBC Doctor Who VHS range. A CaptainThunderWho Century 22 Production.

"Women have within them an incredible power that is often underestimated or overlooked. It is a power that comes from their innate strength resilience and ability to empathize with others. Women have the power to create nurture and transform not just themselves but the world around them. Women have the power to break through barriers and challenge societal norms. They have the power to lead inspire and bring about positive change. They have the power to fight for justice and equality and to advocate for the rights of the marginalized and oppressed. The power of women lies in their ability to connect deeply with others to listen and to understand. They possess a unique intuition and emotional intelligence that allows them to navigate complex situations and find creative solutions. Their compassion and empathy enable them to build strong relationships and support each other through life's challenges. Women also have the power to shape the future. As mothers daughters sisters and friends they pass down values knowledge and wisdom to the next generation. They have the power to shape the minds and hearts of those around them instilling in them the values of love kindness and equality. The power of women is not to be underestimated or diminished. It is a force that has been driving progress and change throughout history. From leading social movements to breaking glass ceilings in male-dominated industries women have been at the forefront of countless achievements and milestones. As we recognize and harness the power of women we move closer to a world where gender equality is fully realized. It is a world where the strengths and perspectives of both men and women are valued and respected and where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. So let us celebrate and honor the power of women and work together to build a more inclusive and equitable world for all." - The power of women

Two strangers in their mid-sixties come together to turn their dreams into reality. Their three-year adventure takes them through extreme sailing in some of the wildest and most remote waters on the planet, and they do it in comfort and style. Many parts of this book read like Action/Adventure novels and, at times, Thrillers. Some of the experiences, both afloat and ashore, are so incredible that some might consider them Fantasies. But it all happened, and as the adventure unfolded, I wrote a blog that gained over 3,000 daily views and grew beyond a million words and over 2,500 images. This is a condensed rewrite of that blog, but with Wattpad's limit of twenty images per chapter, I've included only 2,450 here.

|PRE-PUBLICATION · 10X FEATURED · 2X SPOLIGHT STORY| Saddened by her lonely life, a little girl named Victoria Christie uses her inventive imagination to write stories. Now that she's older, she must find a way to share her tale with the world. *** Victoria Christie never expected to be a writer, but everything changed in 4th grade when she annoyed her mother at a barber shop. She told Victoria to write in her school notebook, which sparked her daughter's lifelong passion for writing. Now, many years later, Victoria is eager to share her story through an interactive novel that showcases how her writing has changed over time and what hardships she faced to keep her island of personality-especially after her brother's unfortunate death in 2021. With the power of writing and her brother's legacy, will Victoria's old stories spark the interest of an audience? Will they interact with her and tell her how her incomplete pieces should end, or will Victoria remain an undiscovered author? This is an anthology of my old stories. Most are incomplete, so it's up to my audience to decide how they should end. This is the story of how I became Viktoria Fyodorova. Let the cringe begin! *** *Amazing cover by @Shreya_VA!* Word Count: 200,000-250,000
