My apologies about the slow browser. Hopefully things are working better for you now.

The three-way battle would either start mid-series and effect the rest of the Doctor's adventure, or it would take place in the finale, like you said, yes. Perhaps there could be a Master/Doctor team-up; the Doctor would involve himself if he were the Other reincarnated, but it is over the course of this battle that he would learn where Gallifrey truly is. Do you envision something of this scale being just in Series 11 or spanning over Series 12 as well?

No bigger or smaller than the two-part opener of Series 6 in all aspects. Yes, the plot will probably take place on Earth, but not necessarily the present day. I'm not sure what enemy we should use, but there should definitely be connections to "The Hunt for Gallifrey," hints at what's to come, and so on. I agree we should use an enemy that is not heavily associated with a particular Doctor.

Yes, I was thinking jokes about 13 would be included too. You understand Thirteen very well. The reason I decided to make him vain was because every Doctor in New Who comments on his body after his regeneration; I had to think of a way to darken that tradition. This Doctor would have a thing for "checking himself out."

Maybe we could do minisode teasers that depict things like the Doctor saving Vastra from her vengeful ways, the meeting between Jenny and Vastra, et cetera. Then the actual series would take place after A Good Man Goes To War, onwards. I hesitate to do crossovers with my series, since they aren't "canon."

I like the Cybermen's design in Nightmare in Silver too. I don't want to change it, just introduce a new type or class of Cyberman that would look like the one in that concept art I linked you to. I've always wondered why the Cybermen were basically transformed in Series 6 from humans-turned-cyborg into aliens. We definitely need to use them, since it is a New Who tradition, but we need to find a new, epic way to do so. The Cybermen in Dark Water/Death in Heaven were anticlimactic, so we should create Cybermen that need to be feared. Or pitied. Or both.
