Lance Parkin is a British author, best known for writing fiction and reference books for television series, in particular ''Doctor Who'' (and spin-offs including the Virgin New Adventures and Faction Paradox) and ''Emmerdale''. He also worked on the ''Emmerdale'' television series as a production assistant. ==Doctor Who== Parkin first became known in ''Doctor Who'' fan circles, writing both criticism and fan fiction. His most notable work was for Seventh Door Fanzines, including the novella ''Snare'' in the ''Odyssey'' series (which he edited for a period) and 1994's ''The Doctor Who Chronology'', a detailed timeline of events in the ''Doctor Who'' universe. The ''Odyssey'' series later included novellas by Parkin's then-girlfriend Cassandra May and his later protégé Mark Clapham. Parkin's first professional novel, ''Just War'', published in 1996, for Virgin's New Adventures series of original fiction ''Doctor Who'' novels. This was followed by ''A History of the Universe'' (a re-working of his ''Chronology'') and a second novel, ''Cold Fusion'', for Virgin's Missing Adventures series. Virgin lost the licence to publish ''Doctor Who'' fiction, and Parkin landed the job of writing the last New Adventure to feature the character of the Doctor, 1997's ''The Dying Days''. This was also the only Virgin novel to feature the eighth incarnation of the Doctor, played in the 1996 ''Doctor Who'' television movie by Paul McGann. The Virgin ''Who'' books went out of print with the loss of the ''Doctor Who'' licence and ''The Dying Days''. The New Adventures continued without the ''Doctor Who'' label and Parkin returned to the series with 1998's ''Beige Planet Mars'', written with Mark Clapham. Parkin continued writing official ''Doctor Who'' prose fiction for BBC Books, including a number of event books, including the 35th anniversary celebration ''The Infinity Doctors''. ''The Dying Days'' became the first of several Virgin ''Doctor Who'' books to be re-worked as e-books for the BBC's ''Doctor Who'' website. He wrote the last in BBC series of eighth Doctor novel adventures, ''The Gallifrey Chronicles'' (2005). In 2006 he updated ''A History of the Universe'' for Mad Norwegian with ''AHistory: An Unauthorized History of the Doctor Who Universe''. In June 2008 it was announced that he would write a New Series Adventures novel, ''The Eyeless'', starring the Tenth Doctor alone for release on Boxing Day 2008. A trademark of Parkin's ''Doctor Who'' novels is the inclusion of a character written as if played by Ian Richardson, beginning with Oscar Steinmann in ''Just War''. Parkin has said "I’m sure there was a very good reason for that at one point, but if there is, I’ve forgotten it". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lance Parkin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
