The best of the vanished marvels

So it's late and it's a work night, but I won't be able to sleep if I don't take a moment to flail my arms and/or typing fingers in delight at Neil Gaiman's episode of Doctor Who.

( SPOILERS lie within )

not that we needed permission, but the sentiment is appreciated

One more reason to love Neil Gaiman:  he essentially said on Twitter that he hopes people will write fanfic about his ep.
