History FanFic / TheClassicDoctorWhoTwitterBlog

* AlwaysMale: JustForPun. Hannah usually addresses her followers (and the show's creators) as "Guys".

* BigWhat:

* LampshadeHanging: Naturally.

* CatchPhrase:

* GenreSavvy: See several of the [[CatchPhrase Catch Phrases]] above.

** "*checks Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}*"

* BigNo: Used with surprising rarity, though it does happen in the commentaries for "The Pirate Planet" and "The Robots of Death" when [[spoiler: Mr. Fibuli and D84, respectively, die]].

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: If ''anything'' seems to have rape-related subtext, most notably Count Grendel's treatment of Romana in "The Androids of Tara", it ''will'' be pointed out.
* FanDisservice: From the "Spearhead From Space" commentary:

** The FanNickname for the sphere in "Shada".
** And the surveillance spheres in "Four to Doomsday."
* IncrediblyLamePun: Happens from time to time. She noted actively trying to think of one for Jon Pertwee's tattoo in the commentary for "The Silurians."

** Also, nearly everything about "Kinda."

* PrecisionFStrike: Used to replace the ClusterFBomb, usually in the context of noting a character "freaking the fuck out", but also as a bizarre form of {{Squee}} when she ''finally'' made it to her first Dalek serial:

* RuleOfThree: The "COME ON, FOUR! DON'T LET..." lines near the end of the "Logopolis" commentary. The third turns into "COME ON, FIVE! DON'T LET..."

** The Counter of Rassilon in "The Five Doctors" commentary (tallying every time someone says "the _______ of Rassilon." [[spoiler: 16, to be precise]]).
* ScreamingWoman: In "The Power of Kroll" commentary, Hannah states that she will only be okay with companion-screaming in the event that they are ''actually in immediate and potentially fatal danger.''

* {{Squee}}: Hannah permits herself a good deal of "completely shameless fangirling" during all of the running-through-Paris scenes in "City of Death".

* JustForFun/XMeetsY: In-universe, Hannah speculates that "Midnight" was derived from a mixture of "The Edge of Destruction" (people trapped together in a confined space where an unidentified entity is possessing passengers) and "The Leisure Hive" (set in an isolated resort on a beautiful but dead planet).
* WhatTheHellHero: The commentary for "The Twin Dilemma". Oh, ''boy''.

* JustForFun/XMeetsY: Hannah speculates that "Midnight" was derived from a mixture of "The Edge of Destruction" (people trapped together in a confined space where an unidentified entity is possessing passengers) and "The Leisure Hive" (set in an isolated resort on a beautiful but dead planet).

Begun on her personal LiveJournal and Twitter accounts in late January 2010 and earning their own a few months later in April, Hannah formats the Classic Who Twitter Blog as a raw account of her grand adventure through the history of her beloved fandom. She limits her comments to Twitter's 140 characters-per-tweet and does no further HTML editing once she transfers the Tweets to the main Blog so as to preserve the original fangasmia.

* RealitySubtext: Part of Hannah's reason for initially keeping up the commentaries is her Asperger's Syndrome-related OCD. It officially became a habit, and she decided to just roll with it.

In January 2010, recent fandom inductee Tropers/{{Hannahchan}} was inspired by the Twitter commentary posted by a friend during "The End of Time, Part 2" and wound up adopting the practice in her impending epic venture into the vast world of Classic Who. The rest is history.

* BigWhat: Somehow not as common as FlatWhat, which is used '''all''' the time.

* DethroningMomentOfSuck: Hannah makes it clear that she is not particularly fond of "The Twin Dilemma."

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Despite only being in two serials, Omega has his own tag on the Blog for a reason.

* FanNickname: Usually used when Hannah can't remember a character's name or doesn't know how to spell it [[strike: and doesn't want to bother checking Wikipedia.]] For instance, Sharaz Jek goes through most of "The Caves of Androzani" commentary being called "BDSM-man" until Hannah finally decided to just call him Jek.
** The Brigstache (TheBrigadier's mustache).

* HappyFunBall: The FanNickname for the sphere in "Shada".

* HeyItsThatGuy: Surprisingly rare, considering how often that can happen with this show, but they do happen occasionally. Most notably in "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" when Hannah realized that the guy playing Mr. Sin had also played the Oompa Loompas in the ''CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'' remake.
* HoYay: Again, if it happens, it will be pointed out. Litefoot and Jago from "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" are an interesting example of characters that Hannah found slash-able but would ''not'' ship herself.
* IKnewIt: Rarely used with those particular words, but has repeated use of "CALLED IT."

* LateArrivalSpoiler: In ''spades.''
* NightmareFuel: Despite watching such a famously Nightmare Fueled show alone in the dark as a general rule, these instances just don't seem to happen. However, the opening shot of the doll factory in "Spearhead From Space" and the close-up on TomBaker's horror-stricken face in "The Leisure Hive" both prompted freaked-out reactions.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Peri, during "The Twin Dilemma". Hannah repeatedly appreciates her frequent [[WhatTheHellHero What The Hell Hero's]] after finding her annoying and mostly useless in "The Caves of Androzani".
** After the disaster that was "The Twin Dilemma". it took the combined forces of "Vengeance on Varos" and "The Mark of the Rani" for Six to be properly accepted by her.

* RunningGag: Hannah was keeping a scorecard for the Doctor, UNIT, and the Silurians during the first two viewing sessions of "The Silurians". It was dropped accidentally because the weekend-long wait for the second disk to arrive caused her to forget about it.

* {{Shipping}}: Oh boy...
** Two/Jamie
** Four/Romana II
** Adric/Nyssa (Speculated in "Black Orchid," but didn't go full on until she listened to ''[[BigFinishDoctorWho The Boy That Time Forgot]]''.)
** And to lesser degrees:
*** Three/Jo ("The Green Death" commentary notes that they would make a cute couple "if it wasn't for the age difference.")
*** Master/Rani ("The Mark of the Rani". That is all.)

* ThisIsSparta:
** "FOUR. IS. HANGING. OUT OF A WINDOW."
** "YOU. FUCKING. LIAR."
** "Most. Convenient. Thunderstorm. Ever."

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Things concerning multi-Time-Lord interactions and explorations of the TARDIS' workings will usually prompt a bemoaning of "why can't we get see that in New Who?"
* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The religious genocide themes of "The Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve" and pretty much ''everything'' about Sharaz Jek in "The Caves of Androzani" were noted as...unexpected, to say the least.

* TheWoobie: Hannah is One Of Those Fans who would like to give Adric a hug and a cookie (well, okay, maybe after ''one'' smack...)
** ''Especially'' after "Castrovalva." Poor kid...
** And Tegan in the aftermath of "Snakedance."
* YourMilageMayVary: Well, of ''course''. Notable examples include Hannah's aforementioned liking of Adric and her dislike of the usually-popular "Pyramids of Mars".

<<|TroperWorks|>>

* MissedMomentOfAwesome: Hannah was disappointed enough by the absence of music during the first half of the SwordFight in "The Androids of Tara" that she decided to watch the scene with some New Who music playing. [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome She deemed this to be a really good idea.]]

A [[strike:mission log]] ''DoctorWho'' archive with a Twitter twist.

** There is also a plan for "The Five Doctors" commentary to keep a tally of every use of the term "_______ of Rassilon."

* TheWoobie: Hannah is One Of Those Fans who would like to give Adric a hug and a cookie. Well, okay, maybe after ''one'' smack...

In January 2010, recent fandom inductee and TV Tropes member Tropers/{{Hannahchan}} was inspired by the Twitter commentary posted by a friend during "The End of Time, Part 2" and wound up adopting the practice in her impending epic venture into the vast world of Classic Who. The rest is history.

* WaitWhatWhoa: Again, '''IN.''' '''''SPADES.'''''

*** Adric/Nyssa (Speculated in the "Black Orchid" commentary. Never really went beyond that one scene were they were dancing together.)

* TakeThat: Some earlier commentaries attack accusations made by {{Mightyotaking}} in his "''Doctor Who'': Old vs. New" video.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The religious genocide themes of "The Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve" and pretty much ''everything'' about Sharaz Jek in "The Caves of Androzani" were...unexpected, to say the least.
