*spews drink on computer screen* Ahaha, it reminds me of Rich's comixblog, on his strip about how he thinks 8 regenerated into 9. I love the idea of accidental regeneration. Brilliant.

Do you have a link?

Oh, absolutely! ^.^ Duh, that is what you usually do, I suppose... forgive my bad manners.

This is the link to the actual Ten Doctors comic he made (which is pretty epically amazing in itself): http://comics.shipsinker.com/2007/03/10/a-doctor-who-comic-the-10-doctors/

And here is the link for 8/9 regen. Look, I haven't looked at this page in months, and the first theory is the same as yours! But the last one is my personal favorite.

Thanks,

I'll have to send a note to Rich as well. Actually, the speculation upon which this drabble is based dates back decades, to when I suggested it to my father as a little girl.

Haha! Perfect. I never believed she'd waste a regeneration on appearances either, not even taking into account her being 'young and naive'. This is better. ;-)

It was either this or unjustifiable mysticism relating to the girl that turned into a piece of key. Romana doesn't strike me as that sentimental, nor the laws of the DW universe as that forgiving.
