'''''Martha Jones''''' was a series of fictional blog posts released on [[23 March (releases)|23 March]] to [[3 July (releases)|3 July]] [[2007 (releases)|2007]]{{fact}} to coincide with the [[Series 3 (Doctor Who 2005)|third series]] of ''[[Doctor Who (TV series)|Doctor Who]]'', one of [[Doctor Who tie-in websites|several web tie-ins created at that time]]. [[Joseph Lidster]], a regular writer for the web tie-ins, penned this short story. | |||
This series of web fiction broke the mold of previous web tie-in, as, opposed to [[Sequence (company)|Sequence]] developing a unique website such as ''[[Defending the Earth! (tie-in website)|Defending the Earth!]]'', the real world social media platform [[MySpace]] was used to host the web fiction. This also functionally replaced ''Defending the Earth!'', which had stopped being updated a short while after [[Mickey Smith]]'s departure in ''[[The Age of Steel (TV story)|The Age of Steel]]'', although it lacked the interconnected nature to other tie-in websites like ''Defending the Earth!''. ''Martha Jones'' was written from an in-universe perspective, to look as if you were reading [[Martha Jones]]'s [[Martha Jones's MySpace account|MySpace account]] itself; the blog continually mentioned Martha's adventures with the Doctor over the course of series three and some of the [[BBC New Series Adventures]] she appeared in too. | |||
