This show we focus on Big Finish Productions’ writing competition called the Paul Spragg Memorial Short Trips Opportunity. It is in honor of the late Paul Spragg who was a very valued employee at the company until his death in 2014.
In 2016, this contest started where fans are asked to write a single page synopsis and a single page opening of the story itself. That’s about 500 words for each page to start.
As our guest on this special episode of MarkWHO42 we have Max Curtis, who entered the contest in 2017 and became a runner-up. But even though usually only the winner gets to write their story for an audio adventure, his was so good that Big Finish hired him to complete his story and it’s being released as a subscriber special alongside June’s Main Range story “An Alien Werewolf in London”. The Short Trips adventure is called “Still Life” and features the characters of The Third Doctor and Jo Grant and in our opinion is utterly amazing and emotional.
