Question and Answer 2! · 7:49pm Sep 12th, 2014
Okeydoke, so it's time for another bunch of questions!... okay, a pair. Another pair of questions. They are pretty good ones, though!
Remember, I'm still accepting any and all questions for The Majestic Tale until further notice, as long as they follow these rules!
1: Send your questions via Private Message to me. In these PMs, please indicate whether you'd like me to answer as myself (the author) or whether you'd like to ask a character, and if so, which one. (Or you can ask multiple questions, addressed to multiple characters and/or me.) You can ask any character I've included thus far in either The Majestic Tale (of a Mad-Pony in a Box) or The Merely Mundane Tales Thereof. You can also specify if you'd like the question to be asked anonymously.
2: Please note that I may not be able to answer every question. I mean, I will almost certainly want to, but if something gets into spoiler territory I won't be able to say much, if anything. Oh, and if a question is really offensive or it has curse words in it or something then I probably can't answer it either.
Now, here are your questions, and here are my answers!

Do you have any plans for the Doctor to run into any enemies (or perhaps even allies) from his own universe?
The mathematician in me is tempted to say “yes” and leave it at that, but I think I can go a little further. Mind you, I can't get too specific—spoilers and all.
Now, as I said, yes. There will be villains from Doctor Who, because going into this fic I decided that there ought to be a decent mix of villains from Doctor Who, villains from MLP, and villains from my own imagination. So from MLP we've had Discord and Ahuizotl; from my own imagination we have the Order of Four, Quetzalcoatl, and certain Betaurans; and from Doctor Who we have... spoilers, but so far there's at least a special guest appearance by illusory Daleks in chapter five. Rest assured, these categories will all fill out as the story continues.
Hmm... oh yes! I do have further plans for the Daleks, and I don't even know if they'll even pan out, but if they do I hope they'll knock your socks off. But that is a VERY long-term thing. As for other villains and friends, well, some of them are coming up soon enough that I don't want to say much of anything.

Okay so this one is to all of your followers Doctor.
If you could ask The Doctor one thing each and he could only tell the truth, what would your question be?
And here's what each of the five companions had to say!
Bon Bon:
Oh, sure, like that'll happen. I've met him; he knows how to lie while telling the truth. Trust me, that's the best way to do it.
But, in our fantasy world where he actually is completely and 100% honest, I would settle on something like “What are my good traits?” It's nice to have an honest self-assessment, after all. (Still utter fiction, but nice.)
Lyra:
How does the TARDIS work? I mean, for real, how does it work? I'd ask Derpy, but she's not always that good at explaining, so really: how how how?
Octavia:
The question I would ask is.... Hmm. Oh, I guess I may as well go with the classics. The finest musician he's ever met: who, and why?
Vinyl:
Boxers or briefs? No, no, wait, not that, here's a better one—two hearts, right? He got two of anything else? Wait, not that one either, I could just ask Octy since she's seen him naked.... Octy's seen him naked. Oh, Celestia, why.
Uh... okay, well, this could be for anyone, but as long as it's him who's got to tell the truth it might as well be him who gets asked: Am I obvious? Like, when I'm talking to Tavi....
Screw it. Just go with “boxers or briefs”.
Derpy:
Don't tell him my question, but... he's really smart, I know he's got some amazing medical equipment in the TARDIS, and he's a doctor after all, so if anyone can figure this out then it's probably him.... What's wrong with me?
So, there you have it! You asked the questions, I have the answers, and remember: I am still accepting new questions, so ask away! (Please ask, really—it is a blast to get these questions, and a fair bit of fun to answer them too.)
All is close to fall. Silence must fall. SILENCE CONFIRMED!!!

He also said "Spoilers". River Song confirmed!
And poor Lyra. I'm not sure he could answer her question even if he wanted to. I'm pretty sure he barely knows how it works himself.

Thank you for featuring my question!
Also Derpy, that is also what I would ask. I'm not that popular and everyone says I'm not right. In fact the reason I "joined the herd" is because someone called me derpy and I didn't know what it meant so I searched for it on Google and found a picture of you. So thank you for saving me from the Tartarus of my own self image.
