I'm on board with a lot of the ideas here, but really I'd like to have some Companion Chronicles with Rory. His time as the Centurion watching the Pandorica give all the reason we need for the absence of Amy & the Doctor.
Of course a CC with Brian Williams would also be lovely.
As for stories with 11th Doctor proper, there are all manner of possibilities, including follow-ups or sequels to many of his own stories. (There is also room for prequels of some, with earlier Doctors. He clearly had encountered the Flesh previously.)
But Ice Warriors. Definitely Ice Warriors.

I would love the return of DI Menzies, but I would still rather she was with Six or Seven or Eight
As for the Eleventh Doctor we really need to find out whatever happened to those "Paradigm" Daleks after Victory of the Daleks.

As for the Eleventh Doctor we really need to find out whatever happened to those "Paradigm" Daleks after Victory of the Daleks. Good call. Not to mention why they remembered him so quickly after forgetting him in Asylum. Heck, the whole universe forgot him at one point just post- Marriage of River Song, but everyone seemed to re-learn about him almost immediately. Big Finish explainers needed!

I'd like more of the 11th as he was in series 5, a little more understated then the gurning buffoon he turned into for series 6 and most of series 7. To be honest, the Eleventh Doctor was creepy and cold manipulative in Series 6. In Series 5 and Series 7, he was the same.

My Christmas wish list:
1) A historical adventure, for all modern doctors. Why the new series is against the historicals stories? It worked very well in "The Doctor's Meditation"
2) The Ponds meeting with old companions. (I can imagine Amy threatening the another female companion to stay away from his lovely Rory)
3) A third adventure with Craig Owens and his family in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" style.
4) The last story of the Paradigm Daleks.
5) More stories that explore the pain and anguish of the Ponds for losing her daughter.
6) More adventures with River Song alone to deepen their relationship.
7) More stories set in Series 7B, even when the Doctor tell Clara about the Time War.
8) A history of the Eleventh Doctor with an old Jo Grant, both were very adorable in The Sarah Jane Adventures.

Oh gosh, this has to be a ways off, right?
Somewhere BF should tell us when he met all those characters from A Good Man Goes To War. I think an 11 and 6 pairing could be hilarious. No one would be able to get a word in! A straight up historical. I don't know why the show has to have a monster in every episode. Mix it up a bit. A new, male companion? A Captain Jack story?? Bring back Craig and / or Rory's dad. Let Rory take the lead in a story. Canton Everett Delaware III!!!!! Explain how he eliminated himself from the Dalek's memories, then suddenly they remember him again??? Huh? Be imaginative! Be innovative! I'd love to see stories with Nu Who doctors / characters with some wild spin like some of the best earlier Main Range releases. Not that the MR is bad now, but there aren't a lot of risks being taken. I feel like this is an opportunity for BF to really mix it up and have some fun and differentiate themselves from the tv show. Just repeating the style / tone / stories would be a bit of a let down, I think.

It was Oswin who eliminated him from the Daleks memories in Asylum and i thought it was Tasha Lem who gave them the memories back

You know what, I'd genuinely love to know what the Eternal Dalek's function was. Was there ever any hint?

Yes! The NPDs are perfect for audio, because IMO the only thing wrong with them was their design. The concept of all those different Dalek classes was really cool, & I liked their voices as well.

Here's a crazy idea. How about a modified timeline where Eleven travels with Victorian Clara rather than the Clara from 2013, just as Moffat had at first intended. I imagine a scenario through which Victorian Clara somehow survives the events of The Snowmen and later, whilst travelling with the Doctor, witnesses the death of her modern counterpart in an alternate version of The Bells of Saint John. Troubled by the existence of her apparent duplicate, Victorian Clara learns from the Doctor that he had encountered another such duplicate earlier in his timeline (Oswin Oswald in Asylum of the Daleks) and that part of the reason for taking her, Victorian Clara, on board as his new companion was for him to uncover the mystery of the "impossible girl"; the presence of the other Clara in 2013 only strengthening his resolve to do so. Victorian Clara becomes distressed, the Doctor's concealment of the truth behind their friendship only worsening matters, and chooses to leave the TARDIS for a short time to gather herself. While in 2013 she assumes the identity of Modern Clara, who died as a result of the Doctor's effort to defeat the Great Intelligence, in order to provide peace of mind for Modern Clara's friends and family who no doubt would be distraught over learning the truth of the "real" Clara's death (Victorian Clara also sees her adoption of the other Clara's life as an opportunity to absolve herself of her perceived involvement in the other Clara's death). Over time Clara grows weary of her duplicity and begins to empathize with the Doctor's earlier reluctance to reveal the truth behind their travels. As if on cue, the Doctor returns and the two of them continue their adventures - all of the events from The Rings of Akhaten to Nightmare in Silver still occurring but with Victorian Clara fulfilling the role of Modern Clara. And just like on television, Clara juggles her "normal" life in early 21st Century London alongside her travels with the Doctor, but this time with a semi-legitimate reason to do so: her guilt over the loss of Modern Clara. When The Name of the Doctor comes around, it is Victorian Clara who splinters herself within the Doctor's timeline, effectively turning Modern Clara into a splinter incarnation like Oswin Oswald in order to preserve the continuity. All of this is pretty "out there," I know, and the likeliness of BF actually rewriting televised canon that extensively for the purpose of exploring an alternate version of a character is very low indeed. Perhaps I'm just venting my frustration over how poorly written Clara has been the last three years, so having a chance to reinvent her from the ground up is very appealing to me, rather than simply improving upon the character as she appeared on television a la Melanie Bush. Anyway, just my two cents.

Seeing as Clara lived on Earth, even after she started traveling with the Doctor, you could do something similar to this, without any alternate-timeline-malarkey. Simply have the Eleventh Doctor, sans Clara Oswald, run into a Clara-splinter, and somehow wind up taking her on board. Obviously, it couldn't be the Clara of "the Snowmen" and would probably be limited to a trilogy, at least initially, but it's similar enough, no?

In fact your idea is much more sensible than the overly-complicated one I wrought out [I'm rather embarrassed really by how long that post ended up being; bit of an off day for me]. It would be fun to explore alternate Claras without having to resort to eliminating the primary one, and those adventures could be interspersed throughout Series 7B while Modern Clara is say, hanging about 2013 London. Of course the simplest thing for the writing staff would be to give Modern Clara greater depth as a character, thereby negating the need for further Clara-splinters, but I still like the idea of exploring her alternate selves.

Anyway, just my two cents. I think that would work better if an unseen enemy had deliberately changed the timeline and Victorian Clara was always meant to die but because of the change to time, the modern Clara ended up taking her place. Because Modern Clara died, she was never splintered across the Doctor's timestream meaning Oswin never existed and the Doctor, Amy and Rory were exterminated by the Daleks for not fulfilling their mission.
