I regret that I must remove my story "The Dalek Invasion of Bikini Beach." Elrod W. has declined permission.
I respect Elrod W.'s rights as the creator of Bikini Beach, so please do not give him any grief about it.
The story will probably be re-written in a different universe, but I cannot really say when this will happen.
Please accept my apologies. Thanks to everybody who read the story and left a kind comment. Writing the fanfic was a lot of fun. I hope I can resurrect it (regenerate it?) in a different format.

Bikini Beach
Why not go to Bill Hart's SRU world, or the Harry Potter verse? There are a few posted where Harry is a girl. Just think of the fun of seeing Holly Potter on her broom Zapping Daleks

It Isn't the Only Universe
I can neither confirm nor deny the possibility of a Doctor/SRU crossover. All I can say is, keep watching. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Done.
Sorry about that and I know the fans of the story are even sorrier. I've unpublished the story, if Elrod changes his mind, I can republish.

Sorry About the Story
A pity Elrod W. said no but Bikini Beach is his baby.
Perhaps SRU might work? Lot of other posiblities.
I did a rather silly bit in the interactive story/various authors that Erin has going on and I sort of borrowed Colin's Doctor. I forked off of Angel's thread, maybe you can add something on to mine for fun.
Best wishes, don't feel hurt. Some authors have a certain way they expect their creations to act and somehow this was too far off the mark. I suspect if the Doctor had only been tricked into being changed at Bikini Beach and the whole beach was not removed to the Death Zone, it may have been allowed. The other thing I can think of is the Grandma has a system to check for false memories and other attempts to use the beach to harm inocents. But he is an alien so... Pity you didn't get a chance to explore that, maybe someday another will find a way that doesn't violate canon.
Hope to se more of your work soon,

By this Re-write I Will Conquer
A re-write is definitely in the works. I will have to create a scenario that does not involve Elrod's creation. It will be hard because I don't want to do a hack job. The situation I envisioned just fit the BB concept nicely. As far as the Death Zone, it is a necessary component to the Master's ultimate plan, as is the Doctor's transformation into a female. Yo don't think the Master went through all this just to play a joke on his old enemy, do you? He is far more evil than that.
I am disappointed, but as I said before I must respect Elrod's wishes as the creator of Bikini Beach. I have no animosity toward him and will continue to read BB stories.
Re:Rewrite Away Tina
Great to hear you're not giving up on your Doctor Who spoof.
We just showed Delta and the Bannermen at our sci-fi meeting - we are a Dr Who club - and as bad as that particular one is it has its moments.
If you need a quick fix, I did start a Doctor Who - Colin - thread in the Bot:C multi author add-on story that Erin started a few weeks back. Have a wack at it and get the creative juices flowing. Angel, Jessie, and other well recogised authors have contributed some silly, sentimental, magical, and just plain wierd stuff. Give it a try. I'm tempted to add on to my Who thread, it was fun.
Best wishes, but Elrod is the legitmate ghod of BB. I'm glad you don't sound hurt by his disaproval.

Party Pooper about The Dalek Invasion of Bikini Beach
I thought it was a great story. Now Does this mean I have to remove it from my Hard Drive too, Haha? I've seen other BB based stories so I don't know what the problem is. I might be opening Pandora's Box with that statement but I've always told like I see or feel it. Yes I do get a special for foot removel from mouth by my doctor!
It's Elrod's Party and He Calls the Tune
I have also seen BB based stories, and I rather doubt that Elrod gave permission for all of them. But I have to respect his creation and the rules he set for it. I would expect the same courtesy if another author used one of my characters or set her story in a universe I created.
As for your hard drive, what you keep on it is your business.
Tina, What About The Medalion Of Zulu
I am thinking that medallion in the hands of Bill Hart's S.R.U. wizard should work. From what I hear, he might give you permission.

In the Works
A re-write is in the works, and it does involve SRU. It also includes a surprise. I am working with another writer on an interesting collaboration. Watch for developments.
