Shelf Life - The Craig Hinton Memorial AnthologyThis is a featured page

Welcome to the home page for Shelf Life, the Craig Hinton Memorial Anthology, an unofficial collection of illustrated fiction inspired by the Doctor Who fiction of Craig Hinton, and dedicated to his memory. All profits will be donated to the BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION.

CraigCraig, who passed away on 3rd December 2006, was best known for his Doctor Who spin-off works, which included the novels The Crystal Bucephalus, Millennial Rites, GodEngine, The Quantum Archangel and Synthespians, as well as the Excelis Decays audio play. He is known as the originator of "fanwank", a term based on the overt use of continuity references in his stories.

Such was the love and affection felt for Craig in the world of Doctor Who that many of his friends and fans felt the need to do something special to remember him by. The result of that need has now been realised in the form of Shelf Life, which contains stories from people all around the world, writers and ordinary fans alike.

With so many contributions, and so many first-time writers, it has taken the best part of two years to bring this project to fruition. With slipping deadlines fluctuating between his birthdays and the anniversaries of his death, we're finally in a position to make our tribute available.


Shelf Life BoxThe first batch of books has just arrived, and as you can see from the picture, they're of a similar style and format to the BBC Books hardbacks - but bigger (a lot bigger).

Shelf Life is currently available in two formats - as an electronic .PDF file (available by email or on CD) and as the 624-page perfect bound hardback book
.

Ordering details will be posted here shortly.
