So, I'm out perusing the DW Community on LJ, and a fic with the word "cake" in the title and description caught my eye. WE DID IT! We started a new sub-genre of DW fanfic, and it has spread!!!! catvampcrazines.livejournal.com/418613.html

I saw that and silently squeed to myself. Alas, but though this fic contains Ten and cake, there is not a hint of neekidness to be found, and Three is staying far, far away (he's learned... oh, how he's learned...)

What I want to know is why there is no mechanism in place for arresting and punishing cakefic heretics. How long are to allow this sort of thing to go on? No naked Ten, no Three? What's to stop anyone with some sort of confectionary obsession, who does not honor the genre in its pure and orthodox state, to come along and befoul the genre?

And then we can get different schools of Cakefic going; rad versus trad, and flamewars and witchunts and everything... It'll be brilliant won't it? ;D
Well, I think that we can all give ourselves a collective DbyA pat on the back for giving birth to this monster.

Believe it or not, johne, I just read and reviewed your heresy, without knowing that you were who you are on DBA!

OMG Jamie/Peri/cake! *twitches*
I am somewhat sickened by the squee that fic elicited...
And whyfore didst ye olde fanarte fall by the wayside?
And why are the only neekid + cake-covered Doctors 10 and 3? Why can't we have nekkid-Five covered in beige-colored frosting? (carrot cake, of course. Five would have to be covered in carrot cake)
Eight dangling upside-down over a giant vat of alien frosting?
Nine and an angsty incident in a London confectionary? Is there a bomb? Do bakers and confectioners die?

Clearly the Cakefic Inquisition doesn't frighten you one bit...

I don't put it in the Cake!fic series unless it's completely canon. Panic not... :lol:

Do bakers and confectioners die? Love these ideas. If there is a Doctor, nakedness of some description, much silliness and a large helping of cake, why not? And, hehe, I saw that Magnus didn't know John's, erm, not so secret identity!!

Well, johne, I laughed, I cried, a learned a little... Seriously, very good, all the more so for being a randomly-generated pairing, especially the portrayal of Jamie.
And I'm sure we have nothing to fear with lostspook as the guardian of our orthodoxy and the precious cakefic canon! Purge the unbelievers!!

I say orthodox Cakeficcers should wear a certain color hat and do horrible things to anyone who doesn't wear the hat.

Hmmm? But what colour hat?
Also, it would be carrot cake. All over him and his decorative vegetable.

I do seem to miss things.... Clearly I miss things too, or I wouldn't have named this thread the way I did! Sorry Johne, I didn't mean to boot you from DbyA membership! As for the canonicity of cakefic without nekkidness . . . it's cakefic. I say anything goes. Any Doctor, any companion, with clothes, without clothes, Daleks, Cybermen, the Master . . . bring it on. Except Slitheen . . . you have to have SOME standards.

The story you mentioned in the first post wasn't mine. I introduced mine a few posts down. My thanks to everyone who's commented on my piece of nonsense. I'm rather amazed that it's got more reviews on Teaspoon than anything else I've written!

I must admit to be both disturbed and intrigued at the same time.
