I'm really psyched about the books. How much you want to bet that the website will be UK-only? hrm. I have a bunch of sci-fi nuts on my friend's list. I should offer to proxy for them, if they proxy for me. I'm not interested in the contest. I just want content. :)

I hope not - they'd lose a big potential market there. *wants content too*

If they're smart, they'll make the site worldwide but the prize draw UK only.

Given the problem of content copyright, they'll probably make it UK-only. But I do hope I'm wrong.

Also, if they're written at the "level" of Sarah Jane Adventures, those are not young adult/teen books, those are middle-reader books. There's a big difference in the reading audience, writing and vocabulary level, content, and especially marketing. I wish people could keep that straight. (Yeah, I'm a git about that -- the one seriously useless degree [well, except I do actually use it from time to time in my work] I went for was an MA in Children's Literature. :) )

Given that I would personally not classify the full-length Who books as anything above young adult in difficulty, I'm not sure how watered down these books are going to be.

I'm glad that they've been written by the regular stable of writers, but I didn't even read children's and teen books when I was those ages, much less now.
