The other message board was beginning to make my browser lag quite a bit.

The three way battle for Gallifrey should have a huge scale to it and could easily and will hopefully be a series finale. I feel that you could have different Time Lords even side with various sides like who would the Master, Rani or even the Time Meddler (without the rascicm would be heavily adviced) would go to and it could lead to an epic battle but whether the Doctor will be a warrior and be involved with the actual fighting or will he be watching it from somewhere far away. Betrayal could also happen if the Master sides with the Doctor and then betrays him just when the Doctor thinks he is going to gain control. Could have a significant change in the dynamic between the Doctor and the Master. Or perhaps the Master joins Rassilon and then betrays him making the Doctor win but never telling the Doctor about it. There are many possibilities to an idea like this.

No bigger or smaller than the series 6 2 part opener. In terms of revelation, scale, characters? All of these things or just a pick and mix. Will it involve Earth and be mainly set their. Most post regeneration stories seem to be from Earth. I think the villain would somehow have to not be tied down to a particular era like the Silence are way too intertwined with the Eleventh Doctor's era. Do you want a new or returning villain for the series 11 opener? It also needs to be relevant in the arc 'The Hunt For Gallifrey.'

I like the association with the 13th Doctor being related with the number 13 and I am guessing a friday the 13th joke will be in the era at some point. Perhaps this should be expanded upon within the actual stories with the Doctor's personality being in some way tied to his number although he is technically the 14th face and 15th body of the Doctor, it get's a little bit confusing if you try to overly complicate it so 13th Doctor is fine. The vain part could relate to the 10th Doctor so maybe a reference to what each regeneration is like but many hated the vain part of 10 as he seemed to develop it instead of always having it whilst the 13th Doctor will have it at first so I think it could work better but perhaps his vain nature could be used so he may avoid a life or death situation and allow someone else to die in order to retain his current form. He could be logical like 12 and care for himself more as he may be more important than others or at least believe he is.

Minisodes for the Paternoster Row could be very interesting with Vastra being saved by the Doctor if I remember rightly and how did she meet Jenny and how did Jenny accept her as Vastra is obviously a Lizard creature. There are several avenues for minisodes that could come between seasons to make the wait between seasons more bearable. Also it could get you thinking of ideas for other stories as the minisodes do not have to be masterpieces so perhaps your perfectionist nature will not be so restrictive of the episodes.

The current ones having a very good design and they were doing well in Nightmare In Silver until it all got a bit over the top, Gaiman had originally planned a two parter for it and it would have worked better if it was a two parter. The Cybermen may need to be reminded of the men part o perhaps an earlier Cyberman model could be used in a future episode as they are very interesting in their transformation from their natural species to Cyberman. This could begin to happen in one of your stories where some Humans start to use robot parts in order to defend themselves from the suns hot rays and the Doctor would attempts to save humanity from a potential Cyberman like situation with the robot parts perhaps acting out, one Human may even get a robot brain and start to go eratic but this is only an idea and there would have to be someone fiddling around with th Robotic equipment for the story to work.
