Can one write about how the prop made it into the pond, and, if yes, can it still be in the Whoverse, and, if further yes, does one have to account for there being a Dr. Who show in the Whoverse?

Damn, I have to find a way to make the time to do this...

Since we're accepting Real Person Fiction, then yes.

I wasn't sure. There are two good approaches to take, and I think I want to do both at once.
This requires real not-dead people inside the Whoverse.

While there are obviously reasons that RPF is always a murky land for me, it has a historical and critical legitimacy, that I've argued for at length in conference settings and will continue to do so.

I never have done it, other than to work out exactly why there is no science fiction after the 1950s in the Star Trek universe.

But yeah, it has legitimacy as literature.
The Brontë sisters used to write it, which seems just...just!
