In regards to your thoughts:
 * What would you define as "the right way" for the Doctor to develop? What I picture for the Thirteenth Doctor is the next step up from what Peter Capaldi was as the Twelfth Doctor in Series 8. That type of a personality allows the Doctor to have companions, while still being the dark, unreliable man we were promised at first with Capaldi but not given.
 * I think the romantic link idea needs to be dropped if the Doctor is to meet a female version of himself, as well. If I ever use this idea, believe me, it will be executed to the best of my ability!
 * Honestly, the only reason why I'm considering a "the Doctor and the Nativity" story is because I want to use the title "Silent Night." Silent Night is a traditional Christmas song about the scene of the Nativity, and it could also refer in some way to the Silence, even though I don't really see a logical way for it to return, nor do I really want it to.
 * If I do use this concept in some form, I guarantee it would not be a "what Jesus is" story. It'd definitely be one that focuses on the characters and their redemption; the Nativity and anything religious regarding the First Christmas would just be in the background.

All that said, I think you're correct: work on Series 11-13 of Doctor Who needs to be put on hold until Series 9 ends. I don't want to abandon the project, since I'm proud of it and have had fun working on it, but I might have to if I cannot find a way to make new ideas presented in the Series 9 finale work with what I have in mind already. Here's hoping that everything can continue…

While we wait for Series 9 to end, perhaps we should change our focus and start developing the many spin-offs I've proposed? We have The Doctor, Paternoster Row, and Rose Tyler: Earth Defence, all waiting to be worked on and full of potential!

If we do decide to focus on spin-offs for now, I'm going to need a lot of help, as I've never actually seen an episode of a Doctor Who spin-off, thus I do not know how they work...
