The first promotional poster for "The Terror of Spring-Heeled Jack."
Huge thank you to Shawn Van Briesen for letting me use his amazing art. Take a look at the original (and his other amazing pieces).
Grimlight is a virtual spin-off of Doctor Who, based around the characters of Madame Vastra and Jenny, who first appeared in the season six episode "A Good Man Goes To War." This industry-standard script series will follow the adventures of the crimefighting duo in Victorian London.
So, I've been doing a lot of research lately and trying to come up with a plot for the first episode of Grimlight that stays true to Who, while also telling a unique Victorian-era story, AND showcasing Madame Vastra and Jenny. I stumbled upon an old urban legend - which I actually already knew about but had forgotten - and realised it would be perfect for the Gaslight setting of the series.
Welcome to the launch of the Grimlight website!
If you're not sure what Grimlight is, check out the About page. For those that do know why this site is here, whoot! This project is still a work in progress and, while I can't give a definite date on when the virtual spin-off will be ready to launch, I can tell you that I'll be hard at work on it non-stop ('cept for those pesky toilet breaks).
Check out the characters and let me know which one is your favourite so far ("A Good Man Goes To War" gave both Vastra and Jenny a chance to shine). Have a suggestion or want to help out with the project? Let me know!
