Fake News/Doctor Who: Truthiness And Relative Dimensions In Space [Table of Contents]

Title: Truthiness And Relative Dimensions In Space
Rating: PG-13
Series: The Colbert Report, Doctor Who
Spoilers: Overall, everything is fair game. See individual chapters for specifics.
Beta: The very awesome [personal profile] stellar_dust
Disclaimer: This is a work of parody. Although reference is made to real persons, places, and events, the dialog, actions, and content are products of the author's imagination only. Fictional characters and settings are the property of the BBC, RTD, STC, TCR, and various other initials which are not mine.

Summary: Obnoxious right-wing pundit Stephen Colbert catches a lift with Four'n'Sarah Jane...and, in his younger days, Ten'n'Jack. Can Four cope with the older Stephen acting like he knows what he's doing? Can Ten avoid saying anything to the younger Stephen that will cause a paradox? And can the rest of space and time handle the truthiness?

For those just coming in, don't be daunted by the bird's nest of links - just start at the top and work your way down, until you're either bored or hooked. Also available on A Teaspoon And An Open Mind, which is kinder to fans of linear layouts.

Not only that . . . each individual story is a multi-part serial. So the whole thing have at least twice as many chapters as it appears to :3

Glad it'll have an audience!

^Has. It has at least twice as many chapters. (Or "will have", as the case may be.)

Ahahaha. The temporal grammar is getting to you already, I see.

This is so freaky. I was watching the Aldrin episode and I was just thinking "That proves Stephen's a Timelord, he has enough room under his desk for two Starbucks!" I was all ready to go start collecting evidence for a WMG post on TV Tropes. The Report doesn't have a WMG page yet and it clearly needs one.

The Pundit as Time Lord. Now there's an idea and a half.

...WMG? (None of the phrases that jump to mind for this situation, like "bigger on the inside", have the right initials...)

I figure this probably happens to the Doctor more often than we see. He's been leaving lovestruck companions behind for a long time, after all =3

I was thinking it's another in the Ten-goes-back-and-marries-his-old-companions theme. There's already Susan and Leela marrying Tennant look-alikes, now Jo too??? XD (Not to mention Rose! Oy, Ten. Oy.)

(BTW, check your google docs!)

"Oy" is right. (I imagine it as going down basically the way "School Reunion" did, only with Jo and saving the rainforest instead of Sarah Jane and investigative journalism.)

Watched Spearhead from Space tonight! (Liz is very smart, and under the right lighting she'd look a bit Ten-ish .. HMMMM.)

.. but point being, Delphon is a one-off reference and there's no Master at all, so you're safe there. ;D

. . . now there's a girl!Ten? Oh dear.

Thank you for checking that out!

I'm almost finished with serial #4, so I should have that up for editing soon!

Oh, believe me, it was no trouble at all. ;D

Awesome! I probably won't have time to look at it till next week, if that's okay.

It's up! Footnotes are at the end, in orange, so you can get to 'em without accidentally reading the last scene.

And, yeah, you've got a week and a half to get to the first one, so you're in good shape. (This one's nine parts long. I need to start making them shorter, or I won't get to the Christmas special until next year...)

This is one of the most awesome fics I have ever read and I am infinitely grateful to have found it through [livejournal.com profile] cot_tossed. (I am now friending this fic journal because it looks like the rest of your fic is similarly cracked yet awesome :D)

I've read a lot of the others here now. Truthiness Etc is still my favorite, but I really liked Expecting, The Thing With Feathers, and your Sailor Pluto story as well :)

In other words, you may be responsible for getting me into Fake News fandom. (I'm even seriously contemplating writing some fic, though I should probably watch a bunch more episodes before starting. I have this weird desire to do a Watchmen crossover, mostly because Rorschach and Steven remind me of each other.)

I know this is super late, by holy crap! I thought I was the only person in the universe who thought a Fake News/Doctor Who Crossover would be AWESOME.

You're my new hero. Seriously.

It's entirely possible that I bookmarked this at least six months ago. Possibly last year? And then I read it yesterday! Until two in the morning! I spent the whole time going ♥___♥.

Trying to catch the fiddlier references was incredibly fun.
