I'm out at the periphery of the Faction Paradox fandom and from my mostly-safe-distance observation there's a lot there. Written science fiction can tackle stories and ideas that don't fit into a TV show's time limits, special effects budget, or the need to show things happening. Add onto that fans who are happy to start with the lore of Doctor Who but chuck out the need for following only one person or preserving a situation for later stories.

"What if Gallifreyan technology but in the hands of tech nerds, theater kids, and assorted kooks?"

So yeah, this is the kind of thing that could easily eat many hours.
