I'm hoping that the fanbase for my cross-over overlaps sufficiently to appeal to this audience. I look forward to feedback!

Poor Clark! These people descend on his life, ruin it, and then disappear again, without any thought to his feelings on the matter. Yes, definitely not a day at the beach for Clark. Fun little story.

Glad you liked it. I thought about using Clara, but I figured I could write Amy better, since Clara is so new. I don't feel like I've got as good a grasp on how Clara would react to things.

It would have been nice to see Rory and Riversong as well.
Nice crossover!
I had been tempted to do a Dr. Who meets H. G. Wells story for some time.

Fun story! I sure did appreciate the explanation of who the crossover characters were and what were all the devices they used. I've (don't throw anything at me!) never yet actually managed to see a Dr. Who episode.
I have to agree with VirginiaR; Dr. Who definitely managed to top H.G. Wells this time! I guess this puts our Clark about on par with Other Clark after Tempus was finished with him, huh?

I've (don't throw anything at me!) never yet actually managed to see a Dr. Who episode. I tried to write the story so that it would make some sense even without having watched Dr. Who. That's why I did it from Lois and Clark's perspective. I'm glad that it worked. Dr. Who is a fun show. If you've got Netflix, it has all the newer seasons and a bunch of older episodes (70's and 80's stuff). And don't worry... I won't throw anything at you.

Absolutely amazing. You were spot on with The Doctor and Amy. I could soooo imagine it.
And I agree with everyone else who is saying that The Doctor has caused worse problems for Clark than HG Wells ever did!
Loved it.

See the new Doctor Who with Clara Saturdays at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. on BBC America. The upcoming episode is "Journey to the Center of the Tardis." There are also highlights of companions and the previous Doctors on at special times. Artemis

That weas really fun. Not that I have ever actually seen Dr. Who, but I know enough about him to understand what happened. Yes Clark has an awful lot of 'splaining to do.

I'm glad you guys enjoyed my story. I kept wondering what would happen if the Doctor ran into Clark, and every scenario I thought of ended with Clark being outed. I wanted Clark to comment on the Doctor being an alien (he saw two hearts when he x-rayed him), but Clark couldn't very well announce that in the middle of the newsroom, could he?
I've got several more stories in the works, but I'm not sure how long it will take me to finish them. I keep working on one and then getting the muse for another. C'est le vie.

All I can say is....

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Hi there! "I don't know. I thought I heard..." Clark trailed off as an odd sound reverberated through the room and a large blue box appeared in the space between some desks. Michael
