Yes, the new Who is very much about the interactions and psychologies between Doctor and his companions. So we can't just ignore these in fanfic writing. Fanfic writing is still based on the original materials. And every fandom is different. Different standards, different patterns. The same is about the ideal length of fanfics...I believe so. There're short and poignant pieces of writing, and there're fandoms where only short things work, like...HBO's 'Entourage'? As a whole, I'd say the fanfics of action films/TV-series/books need more of a plot and a greater length to pull off, like DW. Fanfic of a show about everyday life, like 'House', don't have to be massive. Everyday life is about fractions, scraps and patches.
