Being a Doctor Who fan on this site is such a fucking rollercoaster ride. I just got actual whiplash because someone mentioned Amy and Rory in a post about Faction Paradox, that was ALSO talking about discrepancies between the Gallifrey series and Lungbarrow (even if I didn’t understand very much of it because I’m uneducated, it was a great essay, @daughterofheartshaven)

You really do begin to understand that the tv show that pretty much everyone (in the UK at least) is familiar with, is the absolute tippity TIP of the iceberg. There are honest to god 7 different fandoms I can name off the top of my head that are all part of this extended universe somehow. As I’ve said before, we’re all connected by the same time-travelling bastard and their shenanigans, and I honestly can’t name a fanbase quite like us.

Hey everyone (but especially @shiftofgallifrey) I just had a really fucked idea.

So. Daleks are the unknowing foot soldiers of the Enemy, yeah? Well I just realized a consequence of that. In The Day of the Doctor, has anyone else thought it a just a little... off... that literally every Dalek was at Gallifrey and so thus able to be caught in the explosion that resulted in the removal of Gallifrey from the universe?

Like. We see that the Daleks had been crawling over the universe everywhere else, but on that exact day, they were all on Gallifrey. Why?

What if that was intentional?

The Enemy's goal was never the destruction of the Time Lords - the Enemy merely wanted Gallifrey removed from it's role in control of causality, and removing Gallifrey from the universe itself would very likely achieve that. And if they had achieved their goal, the Daleks would have gone from being "helpful" to "liability" real fast.

So. Include a design flaw. Have your soldiers line up to be destroyed by the final battle. Maybe set up some cascading destruction signal to catch all of them.

And then the Daleks die out as soon as they've outlived their usefulness.

“Auteur: Volume 1: The Final Word” is out!

In 2018, @rassilon-imprimatur's story in The Book of the Enemy introduced Faction Paradox readers to Auteur, a skeletal Archon with the uncanny power to literally rewrite reality — and metafictional delusions of grandeur to match. Ever since then, the Mad God of Writing's popped up hither and thither at Arcbeatle Press, but never quite as the headline feature.

Now, at long last, the official newcomer-friendly Volume One of his very own series is ready to invade your shelves, complete with fourteen exclusive interior illustrations, a crossword, and more surprises than you can count! Whether you're a long-time FP-head or coming fresh to the Auteurverse, I genuinely can't wait for more people to discover this thing…

Out now, in both digital and physical formats!

Auteur is a visionary, a genius, a god. The Author of All Creation. So he has claimed for centuries, and many believe him — who else could rewrite reality with one flick of a quill?

But the Cosmos has changed since he’s been away, and it keeps on changing. Old rules are broken, and new powers rise. What wonders and horrors might Auteur create, in his quixotic quest to get the final word? And what will he destroy?

From a Spire of Shadows to the direst diner on Earth, discover the truth beneath the lies in a dozen unforgettable stories from L. Alves, Erika de Atayde, Jayce Black, Nate Bumber, Galadriel Coffeen, Jamie H. Cowan, Thomas Keyton, Newton Locheye, James T. Mulholland, Louis Peacock, Plum Pudding, Aristide Twain, Molly Warton, and James Wylder.
