I agree with you about Idris. That's why I believe Gaiman was simply inspired by the idea of the TARDIS having a humanoid interface. I don't believe he copied me, but rather was aware of my story and gave me a slight nod for giving him a jumping off place. Also, we have a mutual friend...so it is more likely that he read my story, than it might otherwise be.
The fanfiction Kerfuffle was linked from my home page on LJ. It was in the news items that they run from assorted communities. ONTD had a pic of JKR and a quote from the Game of Thrones author about how lazy fanfic writers are...discuss! I didn't want to pile on over at Oh, no, they didn't! Because I am not interested in making new friends, I suppose. :grin:
