Also, I think they just want to straight up kill us:

Oh noes, I can't read it! :D

It's so fascinating to compare RTD's writing with Moff's writing with Chibnall's writing. Am I allowed to say I think Chibs is a better story writer than a scriptwriter? >>

Isn't it just? And the stories are so VERY them.

I was thinking that too... Because that little snapshot of Thirteen is beautiful and brilliant and All The Things. <3

Very!

It's so good that I want someone else to take over as showrunner just so Chibs can write all the novelisations and Thirteen novels! I don't know if it's because it's much easier to show a character's inner thoughts in this form but it's honestly some of the best DW writing I've seen from him...

Mmmm, I concur.
