I can't quite put my finger on what it was about Timewyrm:Revelation, Paul Cornell's first novel, that was so exciting, because I can completely understand the criticism that it is basically too wierd. But I think it was the first time official Doctor Who canon (even if this is a branch of canon that has since been side-lined) served up something that was from a fan of the show being explicitly fannish about the show.

I'm inclined to say this was the moment that the inmates began to take over the asylum. Although arguably that happened in 1988 when John Freeman took over DWM.

The story concerned is Paul Cornell's idea for a final Peter Davison story, Total Eclipse, which ran through several issues of Queen Bat. It's quite different, having Nyssa and Tegan instead of Ace, but the central setting is the same.
