Nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan!

SFX hosts a contest to design the Doctor's bedroom. Now taking bets on how many entries they get vs. how many entries they could actually publish in a family magazine.

Mirrors on the ceiling, red satin sheets, a poster saying "Time Lords do it 13 times (a day)," a shrine of the underwear of departed companions, River song lying naked on the bed...

...okay, I see what you mean.

Oh jeez.

It'd be one thing to do this for larks as a Blue Peter compo, but considering SFX's readership...? You're right, shenanigans will result.

I dare you to submit that entry.

Honestly, how can you ask questions like "Will there be amazing gadgets from the 54th century?" and not expect inappropriate responses?

I can imagine the tension there would be whether or not to include Jack's gaff as part of the shrine.

JACK HAS NO PANTS.

BUt then I might win and winning would mean the universe doesn't hate me.

I notice there's nothing that says it's an official BBC contest or affiliated with the BBC, which means they might have more latitude. Even so, i can see the Doctor Who Branding Team going, "What were you thinking?"

(I checked the Terms & Conditions. It's SFX only. Let the shennanigans begin!)

[nonelvis]

The universe doesn't hate you! But I assume SFX will toss any of the really interesting entries they get regardless.

[nonelvis]

I read through the Terms and Conditions as well to see if the obvious entries would be discarded, but they've just left a blanket statement about tossing anything they don't want for any reason at all.

They *must* know they're going to get at least some wildly inappropriate stuff, and I bet they're going to keep it all for themselves instead of sharing with the rest of us, dammit.

And by "toss", I presume you mean "put up on the wall in the tea room".

[nonelvis]

Possibly in a lovely frame, yes.

The creators of any rejected entries could surely post them on that lovely Whovian Sexual Frustration blog on tumblr?
Actually, I'd like to see the whole competition held on tumblr. Turn it into a spectator sport - more fun for everyone.

It may be necessary to hold a contest of our own. I might get on that tonight.
