So I'm reading another of the Eighth Doctor books, Camera Obscura, which is set in Victorian London. I'd skimmed it, and happened upon a bit where Fitz is fussing at the Doctor, who sarcastically says "yes, Da." Ha, I said to myself, remembering many Spike/Angel fics, I bet this writer's a Spike fan.

Then I get to this bit:

[Anji] was smiling politely at an earnest, puffy-haired young man in a brown suit, William somebody or other, who had been introduced to Chiltern as a poet. He was chattering on at her - probably reciting some of his no doubt ghastly poetry.

*dies of fandom collision*

(Well, vampires do exist in the Who universe, and Dingoes Ate My Baby have already been name-checked in one of the novels, so I suppose anything's possible...)

Hee. It is the Fandom That Swallowed Me Alive, seriously. You have to love any show that suddenly decides it's going to do a vampire episode so has its main character basically announce "by the way, vampires are real, before my people were time travellers we were a race of vampire slayers involved in an intergalactic war with them... Got that? Good. On with the staking." And then it's never mentioned in canon again. Likewise werewolves.
