Oh is it wrong that I'm thinking about writing and I've never watched Dr Who ever?

I should have foreseen this.

A comment on the news story: the sentence about getting "*a* Dalek expert" in is possibly the best thing I have read in a long time.

I'm not sure what I can come up with but I'll give it the ol' college try. I love the idea!

EDIT: now that I've read the guidelines, I need a day or two to work out an idea - I had been thinking of a drabble, but that won't work for y'all.

Three martinis and I think I'll get the hang of it. ;)

EDIT again: three martinis and I forget I left a comment already. ;) More in the next 48 hours...

Oh my god yes! I really want to do something with the Torchwood four team, but I must resist!

You two are off. In a really good way. I'll pimp this.

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.

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

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.

RPF is always a murky land

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!
