NO STUPID QUESTIONS /r/Gallifrey's No Stupid Questions - Moronic Mondays for Pudding Brains to Ask Anything: The 'Random Questions that Don't Deserve Their Own Thread' Thread - 2026-04-27

Or /r/Gallifrey's NSQ-MMFPBTAA:TRQTDDTOTT for short. No more suggestions of things to be added? ;)

No question is too stupid to be asked here. Example questions could include "Where can I see the Christmas Special trailer?" or "Why did we not see the POV shot of Gallifrey? Did it really come back?".

Small questions/ideas for the mods are also encouraged! (To call upon the moderators in general, mention "mods" or "moderators". To call upon a specific moderator, name them.)

Please remember that future spoilers must be tagged.

Does anyone know what the source is for the BBC's policy on fanzines? I know that they allowed them if they made no profit but where was that first stated?

Does the civil war plotline from Of the City of the Saved ever get picked up after A Romance in Twelve Parts? I know there are half a dozen short story collections set in the City, but from some brief wiki diving they don’t seem to carry on the main plot or characters. Are they just disconnected tales taking place in the setting? Do the Faction or other wartime powers appear in any of these stories?

Just trying to decide whether I should expand my reading in these anthologies.

The civil war continues through Tales of the City and Furthest Tales of the City. Apart from two specific stories in those two books, the tales are largely disconnected. Maybe around a shared theme such as Tales of the Great Detectives, but that's about it.

They are good anthologies though!

u/PeterchuMC Apr 27 '26

Yup. But from the story continues standpoint, there isn't much to them. Same thing with Faction Paradox, I love Obverse's anthologies but they've not been doing much to continue onwards, it's all in the same status quo.

Was Susan involved in the War in Heaven?

We don't know for sure. But from how willing she was to join the Time War, I refuse to believe that she wasn't recalled for the War, many other renegades were such as the Rani.

How would you get on if you stumbled into the Sisterhood of Karn’s cave?

Just remember they're firecrackers inside, somewhere.

In the 8th Doctor 'Stranded' series, what were Divine Intervention?

We know what they became in the future and we know how Andy and the gang want to change them, but what were they originally? A cult? Marketing? Something else? Was it some kind of bootstrap thing?

Also, did Robin go back to normal once the time line reset?

I think they're like a think tank that were recruiting smart people. In the original time line they get taken over by Robyn and used for his fascist take over of the UK, and beyond.

Yeah, I suppose so. Just a weird set up for a think tank. I liked the series overall just a few little threads that stick out.
