It's perfectly alright. I'm a big fan of Hiddleston's Loki, too, and that's exactly why I'd like to use him as a Doctor at some point. Whether the Doctor is a woman or man, you always need "the right actor/actress." Again, a change in Doctor and/or his gender is something we don't have to worry about for a long time.

I'm glad you like how I've chosen to structure the series. I'm trying to go for something akin to Series 6, which I feel is executed well overall. I'm most likely going to be writing in script form; my stories will be as long as actual episodes. I don't know how knowledgeable about film you are, but one minute of screentime equals about one page of script. As Doctor Who episodes are typically 45 minutes long, that means each episode will be at least 45 pages of script long.

I've been batting around tons of stuff in my head about a potential companion for the Doctor in Series 12. He's mostly alone in Series 11 because he prefers it that way; this makes him a huge departure from his past incarnations. He eventually softens. I'm thinking the Thirteenth Doctor's sort of forced to have a companion, one who stows away on the TARDIS, and he gradually warms up to her. I also like adding variety to my companions; I'm picturing someone who is an adolescent, so this would make her quite different from the adults the Doctor has taken with him in the past. I'm all for exploring aliens/robots/males in the future, though.

I'm also thinking the Doctor's age in each incarnation can be different; he can go back-and-forth from old to young and it shouldn't really matter. So I guess this means I can use Tom Hiddleston, Bill Nighy, and Kenneth Branagh with no issues. I'm set till at least the Sixteenth Doctor :P
