Whoniverse

While 'retconning' the scripts, I came up with a number of theories that throw new light on the Doctor, his past, and various other elements of the Whoniverse.

The Blinovitch limitation effect, however, appears to be a law of physics in the Whoniverse.

2006, Paul Parsons, The science of Doctor Who, →ISBN, page 43:

(fandom slang) The universe in which the television series Doctor Who, Torchwood, and The Sarah Jane Adventures, as well as related books, comics and other stories, are set.

Special mention must also go to all the wonderful people I've met since becoming part of the ‘Whoniverse’: Joe Lidster, Stuart Manning, Scott Handcock, Tom Spilsbury, Gareth Roberts, Darren Scott, Kieron Grant, Neil Corry, […]

2010, Oli Smith, Doctor Who: Nuclear Time, →ISBN, page 245:

(possibly dated) The totality of all things connected to the series Doctor Who, including the fictional universe which is its setting, the real-world sets in which it is filmed, its actors and fandom, etc.

The astroships — as we have named the future space vehicles — will be much more comfortable than the Apollo cabins.

But we'd need to coordinate our efforts with another astroship.

1999, Joseph Neil Schulman, Brad Linaweaver, Profile in Silver: And Other Screenwritings, page 472:

If these are astroships from someplace besides our specific, physical universe, maybe they come from a place where our laws of physics do not apply, where there is no such thing as velocity/momentum.

2009 March 23, James Nicholl, “Since there seems to be a derth of on topic material just now”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet), message-ID <gq8jkj$6u7$1@reader1.panix.com>:

If in a mere 60 years we've learned enough that the predictions of the Futurists then have become "zeerust" today, how long before the predictions on this very blog become subject of ridicule and sympathy directed at our naivete?

2010 January 21, Rick, quoting Jean Remy, “The Future of the Future”, in Rocketpunk Manifesto, retrieved 2013-05-31:

Sci-fi and futuristic- lots of potential here it seems to me, though not as many real world example rides as I expected. I wonder if it's a cost issue or a fear of getting zeerust setting in as the ride ages.

2012 June 13, Fuu, “Concept Brainstorming (aka rambling) part one”, in Project Dark Ride, retrieved 2013-05-31:

Эльда́р

noromo

Being a hard-core "noromo" (parlance for "no romancer," someone who believes the show's UST, or unresolved sexual tension, is the key to its vitality), I have also flamed "shippers" ("relationshippers," those who want Mulder and Scully to get it on in the film) with now embarrassing vituperations, such as, "Why don't you just go get the lame job you're destined for at the state budget office?"

1998 June 22, John Cloud, “Cinema: An X-Phile Confesses”, in Time:

There had always been a separation between the noromos and the shippers, but at the start of the eighth season, another significant division was born.

2002, Tom Kessenich, EXaminations: An Unauthorized Look at Seasons 6-9 of The X-Files, Featuring the Reviews of Unbound I, Trafford Publishing (2002), page 5

Once it became generally accepted that Mulder and Scully were romantically involved off screen, the noromos stopped watching in disgust, while the shippers lamented not being allowed to witness the transition in the relationship.

(X-Files fandom slang) A person who opposes the idea of a romantic relationship between Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.

2007, Dale Brown, Strike Force, Harper, →ISBN, page 504:

There were kids playing weird, science-fictiony music on synthesizers, and all the teachers who were telling everyone where to go were wearing outfits made out of aluminum foil, like robot aliens.

Sheldon: No weapon strikes more fear into a man's heart than a Klingon bat'leth.

First, many thanks for giving us a de Camp tale. He is, to me, the most literate writer ever produced by stfantasy.

1947 April, C. Oliver, Thrilling Wonder Stories, page 98:

The usual melange of serious articles on stfantasy and its personalities, copiously interspersed with advertising. If you collect, sell, trade, or read fantasy or stf you cannot do without this one.

1950 September, Francis Towner Laney, “Fanzine Scope”, in Spacewarp, number 42, page 63:

After all, it was these same "parasites" who did much to keep science-fiction going in the dark days when stfantasy was the skeleton in the closet of literature — they supported it, they introduced it to their friends, they risked ridicule because they were intelligent enough to believe in what they liked.

1951 July, Chad Oliver, “QX Fella! We Got the Jets for the Job! [letter]”, in Planet Stories, volume 5, number 1, page 65:

1964 November, “[Preface to] The Most Unforgettable Lupin Man I Ever Met”, in Terry Carr, editor, Entropy, number 1, archived from the original on 2019-12-23, page 21:

WWII was the worst in that a large number of fans were in the Armed forces or other Fafia inducing activities.

1975, Elliot Weinstein, The Fillostrated Fan Dictionary, page 140:

Just a quick note that AOL has once again stopped sending me newsgroup postings. Not sure why, and not sure when they will resume again. But FAFIA for the moment.

1968, Philip K. Dick, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?:

1989, Ron Goulart (ghostwriting as William Shatner), TekWar

(dated, fandom slang) The province or domain of science fiction; the area in which science fiction is active.


stfanzine

By the way, I hate horror yarns. Tough, but there is nothing to be done about it. You might start your own zine, if you want horror stories. Or send your manuscripts to SHIVERS or one of the other fanzines specializing in that branch of fantasy. This is a stfanzine.

(dated, fandom slang) An amateur magazine produced by and for fans of science fiction.


stfnist

The average stfzine sold maybe 75,000 copies on a good day in the thirties when the population of the country was about 130 million. Today the population is rapidly approaching 239 million and the average stfzine still sells maybe 75,000 copies on a good day. If that many.

fans are slans

From slan and the novel Slan (1940) by A. E. Van Vogt. By analogy to the superior but persecuted mutants of Van Vogt's novel.

Under the title "Stfans -- Race of the Future", Joquel dissects the "fans are slans" theme which back in 1941 was being considered with a surprising amount of seriousness, and comes up with the obvious conclusion of phooey.

1950 March, F. Towner Laney, “Fanzine Scope”, in Spacewarp, number 36, pages 10–17:

FANS ARE SLANS Literally understood, "fans are superman mutants" -- or, at least, "fans are smarter than most people" -- but actual semantic content is according to the mood and attitude of the user.

"Fans are slans" is a way of saying that we're smarter than other people. (Which is true, actually, but rather impolite to bring up in mixed company.)

2000 April 27, Pete McCutchen, “Re: Mr. Ordover, I disagree”, in rec.arts.sf.written (Usenet), message-ID <4uvggsgbbt3gsqrobf2o1prj0offlhpuch@4ax.com>:

Smoffing is a Way of Life.

the fen of science fiction fandom for whom fiawol descended on Boston this weekend for their annual worldcon to smof and to buy old fanzines.

1971 September 6, New York Times, page 17:

Then there's the semantic argument of smofdom. Ailsa, by discussing the nature of fandom, is smoffing. By smoffing, she risks becoming a smof. In fact, the more she discusses the nature of fandom, and who is or isn't a smof, the more likely she is to become one.

1998 October 21, Doug Wickstrom, “Re: Do Fans Beget Fans?”, in rec.arts.sf.fandom (Usenet), message-ID <363a2926.8124211@netnews.worldnet.att.net>:

1963, Hal Clement, Proceedings of Discon, page 162:

Secret Masters of Fandom (SMOFs), people who consider themselves to be the real ‘rulers’ of fandom, making decisions by running fan politics. Actually, these poor fellows are suffering from delusions of grandeur. (Also, verb form: to smof.)

1978, Arthur Wilson "Bob" Tucker, The Neo-Fan's Guide to Science Fiction Fandom, page 10:

I know a lot of briefcase-carrying SMOF types that live to run cons.

1993 November 6, Jim Rittenhouse, “Re: Will some REAL fans please move to Chicago?”, in alt.fandom.cons (Usenet), message-ID <2bh88t$1ip@genesis.MCS.COM>:

Mary Manchester deserves special mention at this point. She appeared in few publications, yet she had such an influence on Star Trek fanzines that many considered her a SMOF, or Secret Master of Fandom.

2003, J. M. Verba, Boldly Writing, page 27:

Cabal Sometimes assumed to be a secretive organization responsible for the development of Wikipedia [...] The term is comparable to the use of the term SMOF in science fiction fandom.

2014, Dariusz Jemielniak, “Appendix B: Glossary of Wikipedia Slang”, in Common Knowledge?, →ISBN, page 205:

2005 June, Ruth Davidson, “President's Message”, in National Fantasy Fan, volume 5, number 2, page 4:

For a while there, if three fans were swapping apazines, it’s a good bet that I was one of them. Not that I set a record for number of apas. Bruce Pelz, Robert Lichtman and a few other fans had made “omniapan-ism” fashionable among impressionable neofen like me. Bruce was not only in a lot of groups, but it seemed like he was Official Editor of half of them.

2006 May 14, Arnie Katz, “The Thin Veneer”, in confuSon, volume 1, number 4:

(dated, fandom slang, science fiction) A newcomer to science fiction; a fan who is extremely new and inexperienced with the genre; a beginner.

Earth and Mars have been stepping on the necks of the Belters out here for over 100 years and I didn't want to be the boot.

suffix

If any distant world (which may be the case) are so far ahead of us Tellurians in optical resources as to see distinctly through their telescopes all that we do on earth, what is the grandest sight to which we ever treat them?

1847, Thomas de Quincey, “Joan of Arc”, in Miscellaneous Essays:

There is a mystery in Tellus which has not been solved. I cannot reconcile the disappearance of all its water and its race of men as well, with the legend preserved in our family that, not so very long ago, Tellurians visited us, staying beneath this very roof as guests. Why did the Earth-race die out so quickly?

1930 February, Edwards Gawain [pseudonym; George Edward Pendray], “A Rescue From Jupiter”, in Science Wonder Stories, volume 1, number 9, page 787:

But it's well that that bunch of tellurians are dead! Our diamond was the cause of that much good for the earth!" Nega slowed her orbital speed, oscillated a bit, and twinkled: "Are all tellurians like those we've met in the last year?"

1935 May, Joseph William Skidmore, “A Saga of Posi and Nega”, in T[homas] O’Conor Sloane, editor, Amazing Stories, volume 10, New York, N.Y.: Teck Publishing Corporation, →OCLC, page 107:

Mr. Bridges is more interested in correct usage of planetary names, rather than in mere derivations (a more useful and less frivolous involvement than mine, you see) and, for instance, advocates what he maintains to be correctly derived words such as Venustian and Hesperian for hypothetical inhabitants of Venus in place of the incorrect Venusian or Cytherean; and Tellus and Tellurian in place of Terra and Terran. He lists astronomers and classical scholars who support his views.

Terrestrial

From Latin terrestris, from terra (“land, earth, ground”).

It will be manifest that natural scenery must present many beautiful varieties of effect altogether unfamiliar to us terrestrials, who know of no colours in scenery except those inherent in the objects themselves which form the landscape.

1873, Richard Anthony Proctor, The Expanse of Heaven, page 235:

The other was not a Terrestrial, but a visiting Martian.

1925, Hugo Gernsback, Ralph 124C 41+, page 41:

There'd been Earthling girls; and not a few Khazaki women had been intrigued by the big Terrestrial.

1950 Fall, Poul Anderson, “Star Ship”, in Planet Stories, volume 4, number 8, page 74:


Terrestrian

This rocket squad was composed almost solely of Terrestrians, for they were used to the greater gravity of Earth, and could stand greater acceleration than could Venerians.

1930 Fall, John Wood Campbell, “Black Star Passes”, in Amazing Stories Quarterly, volume 3, number 4, page 516:

How would it look for the First Administrator to go limping around the galaxies explaining that he was behind schedule because his ship got wrecked on Sol III and the Terrestrians were incapable of matching his drives?

1950 November, Raymond Fisher Jones, “Tools of the Trade”, in Astounding Science Fiction, volume 46, number 3, page 55:

And beyond that, the most important equipment of all: the manufacturing units that processed the Earthpeople's food.

1956, Philip Kindred Dick, The World Jones Made, page 198:

My last act as an earthperson, she says, was t' snatch off my landlawd's glasses and punch and punch 'im in the nose.

1974, Donald Newlove, The Drunks, page 140:

"That was an ingenious idea, Earthperson," it said slowly. "There is now a beneficent atmosphere surrounding my pressure envelope, which will enable me to repair the torn fabric and survive until Illensan assistance arrives. Thank you."

1983, James White, Sector General, page 24:

It was Tarna's first demonstration of Earthpersons—or rather Earth robots—in action, an the villagers were hugely impressed.

1986, Arthur C. Clarke, The Songs of Distant Earth, page 81:

skiffy

Phonetic spelling of sci-fi to capture deliberate mispronunciation (with "sc" being read as /sk/ and "i" being read as short vowel /i/ instead of diphthong /aɪ/).

The science fiction reader sneers at fake SF, artificially produced film tie-in novels and stories, most SF films, most TV SF. This he calls sci-fi (or "skiffy")—junk no right-thinking omnivore or chronic should read, watch, or support.

1984, David Hartwell, “The Golden Age of Science Fiction is Twelve”, in Age of Wonders, →ISBN, page 13:

Many of the best new writers seem openly ashamed of their backward Skiffy nationality.

1989 July, Bruce Sterling, SF Eye, number 5, page 77:

Around 1978 the critic Susan Wood and others began pronouncing the term "skiffy". In 1980s-1990s usage "skiffy", which sounds friendlier than "sci fi", has perhaps for that reason come to be less condemnatory. Skiffy is colourful, sometimes entertaining, junk sf: Star Wars is skiffy.

1993, Peter Nicholls, The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, →ISBN, page 1079:

(fandom slang, usually derogatory or humorous) Low-quality science fiction.


repulsor
