I understand the desire and let’s be honest, Steven Moffat didn’t really use the Daleks that much (or even that well, depending on your perspective). It’s…
If you’re interested in somewhere to write Doctor Who fan-fiction, the latest Divergent Wordsmiths project: The Genesis of Terror might be worth checking out.
