@ichabod: Re comments. Love them. thank you.

@theconsultingdoctor: My advice to you, is just write it, then sit back and read it out loud.  It sounds interesting, so good luck. One thing, it should be fun, and if it stops being fun – it stops.

The Evil of the Daleks is definitely in my top five possibly even in my top three, it’s a fantastic story and one that was originally intended to kill off the Daleks forever (mad I know!)

Oh yes the new series Daleks are definitely little angry blobs because in the classic series there was a civil war between renegade Daleks vs Davros and the Imperial Daleks which ended up wiping out all the Daleks after that Davros must have reinvented them (or something!)

hello! If the Daleks did win then I imagine that they would somehow manipulate and erase bits of time itself so that whole races never even existed so they would not need to destroy them making it easier for the Daleks to win.  Other than that I bet they would get just a tiny bit bored maybe resurrect races to destroy again.
