I am reading up on all the bewildering looms novel-canon stuff on this page, and found this:

A loom consists of millions of fine cords which weave matter and biodata together. For several days spirals of data flow down these cords and are woven into a mesh. From this mesh a Gallifreyan Childe is formed.

*headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk*

From the colour coding I'm guessing this is either from the Faction Paradox spinoff or completely made up? 'Childe' sets my teeth on edge in Buffyverse fic let alone it invading DW as well...

Also, this bit is marked as telly canon, though I can't remember it: Gallifreyans are not considered full adults untill they are 200 years old

So Romana's a child? Erm, that's just a bit dodgy...

Apparently is from novels, judging by colour. Which novels, however, is probably the deciding factor.

Childe? WTF?

Mind you, I'm not so keen on this biodata term they keep waving around, either.

So Doctor/Romana is chan? *amused*

Yeah, I've read some of the novels with biodata and found them tres confusing.

So Doctor/Romana is chan? *amused*

If you take this seemingly-arbitrary 200 to be the equivalent of a human being 21 then she's about 15 *g* I'm sure her family just adore the Doctor for running off with her.

Mmm. Is like technobabble for something like DNA, but just a tiny bit implausible in some cases.

Mind you, I am a tiny bit itching to use it in fic, where suitable.

15? Ooops. But now I want to read a story where Romana returns to Gallifrey and her parents are furious with her. :)

I'm vaguely looking at Ace and thinking comparison thoughts
