Grudgewank? In my Whoniverse? It's more likely than you think!
Hello hello! Long time lurker, first time poster etc. I originally posted this to SF_D on LJ when someone advised I should share it here! So that's what I'm doing! Apologies if you've had to read it twice...

This one is for the Whovians in the house. Be warned because its colour is strictly teal dear!

As any phule no, Steven Moffat has been named as the new producer of Doctor Who and the latest episode was set in a massive library world.
This makes Lawrence Miles a grumpy ol' bear!
Lawrence Miles is responsible for a few Doctor Who novels, some of them highly rated. Since the shows return, he has been EXTREMELY critical of its direction. The fact he's not on board as a writer is a total coincidence.

The grudgewank started a week ago when Miles posts in his blog that he wrote a tv script before christmas that was also set in a cosmic library. The entry referring to it has been bahleeted but the link is still active - http://davidjhowe.cogia.net/TheBookOfTheWorld.pdf (for what it's worth, it's a good script but wouldn't make a good episode of a TV series. There's flashes of brilliance but it feels very clichéd, barely any characterisation and the ending is a big deus ex machina).

Anyway Silence in the Library is shown and generally loved by all.

Miles unleashes the fucking fury!


Highlights:
"I'd assumed that he'd be like one of the idealistic personalities from Press Gang. In fact, he was like one of the twisted, neurotic ones."
"So obviously I prefer "The Book of the World". Not purely because I wrote it, but because I'll go for "world-building" above "cool" any day."
"Mummy Moffat didn't pay much attention to me."

Mmmm these grapes are deliciously bitter...
