Declan May
Seasons of War scandal
Declan May
was the creator and promoter of Seasons of War, intended to be a series
of books set in the Doctor Who universe with the proceeds benefiting
charity.
Soon after
the period passed when anyone could file for a refund with PayPal, all the
projects were delayed as Declan May claimed to have an illness which would
postpone his work on the projects. He allegedly appointed another person to
head the projects, “Martin Meades,” a person whom no one else ever associated
with Seasons of War claimed to know, and who eventually disappeared as
it became clear the books would never happen.
Despite his
claimed illness, Declan May promised refunds, giving specific dates that
refunds would be issued. But for most buyers, the refunds never came. Some
people did report receiving refunds, mostly associates of Declan May,
‘prominent’ fans, and people owed smaller amounts. This kept most of the
pressure off Declan May for a long time. Eventually, he stopped responding to
emails, various forums suppressed discussion of this embarrassing mark on Doctor
Who charity fan fiction, and many fans who likely paid in thousands of
pounds thinking they were helping a charity were seemingly defrauded.
We want to
make sure full repayment is made and that this does not happen again. Our collective group has acquired this domain
formerly owned by Declan May for that purpose.
If you
pre-ordered any of the defunct Season of War sequel projects direct from
Declan May and did not receive a refund and believe you may have been
defrauded, please contact us at DeclanMayFraudHotline@gmail.com. We will add your story to all of ours in an
attempt to see that this matter is resolved.
