2005 June, Ruth Davidson, “President's Message”, in National Fantasy Fan, volume 5, number 2, page 4:Huzzah! Hopefully we'll get some fans, neo-fans and even fanlings to join us.

2014 June 29, Evangeline Winchester, “Here, Have Some Kool-Aid: Doctor Who”, in Last Fangirl on the Right, retrieved 2017-03-16:A lot of people skip the Ninth Doctor, and start with Ten. I do not recommend this. And by "do not recommend this," I mean I will come through the computer and smack you with a rolled up newspaper, and say "Bad Fanling! No post for you!" Even if you choose to start with "Blink" or "The Runaway Bride," go back and start with the new series featuring Nine; it's definitely worth it.
