I'm getting conflicting info on the pitch system. The old forum for pitches is protected and empty, and there isn't a new one, so how can you actually make edits?

Well, the pitch system was something suggested by Kray, but, both due to the fact that no new members came since (other than guys from GC), and the fact that the limitations of what is allowed here are a little...looser...than on GC, it was never actually used...
Just give me a short blurb of what you had in mind to add here...
Note that, depending on preference, HS can be either a faction based OR character based story...although most of the users currently active here prefer character-based stories.
OK, I was browsing, and I was surprised to find that, aside from a guy with some quotes borrowed from the Doctor and a planet called Gallifrey, the Hellcat Squadran universe has had pretty much nil in the way of influence from the Whoniverse. I'm a huge DW fan, and I was wondering if I could add a race/faction from the universe of Doctor Who?
I'm not planning on introducing the Doctor himself, at least in the immediate future. Essentially, my idea is this - during the Time War, the Timelords realize that they can't defeat the Daleks and are losing the war. Therefore, they recruit a rogue Time Lady, the Rani (an actual character from Who canon - here's more info on her) to enter another universe and plant the seeds of a new Timelord race as a kind of second chance. However, the Rani, being no fan of the original Timelords, decides to meddle with her cargo and creates a new race using a mixture of human, dinosaur and Timelord DNA. (It's not as ridiculous as it sounds, believe me. The Rani had an obsession with dinosaurs.) This new race ends up in the Hellcat Squadran universe. However, as it turns out, they haven't gone unseen. They are soon followed by a rather large army of Daleks. And then Cybermen. Followed by Sontarans, Autons and Weeping Angels.
…yeah, that's kinda my idea. Feel free to add constructive criticism.
Well, you'd have to discuss that with Mortalitates (who was also a former GC member) (or, as he's called here, Pein), as he's the guy who uses the Doctor Who influences.
While we have the Wiki chat like GC does, we don't really use it (except for chats that require certain other people not listening in (people from the Shattered Mirror RP). The chat we use for frequently is here: HS Chatango Chat
The only issues I'd have are more nervousness about the Cybermen and Weeping Angels more than anything else, really, so nothing I can deny you for.
One more thing: be careful not to use the HS series' 2350-2360: I've got that time reserved for something...Currently, however, we're working in our 2320s-2330s...
Fine, the Rani will land in 2324.
Unfortunately, I'm going to be taking a holiday break from Wikia starting this evening (in my timezone), so I probably won't start editing 'til January.
Can't blame you for being nervous about Weeping Angels. They scare me too :P
And no offence, how is the chat really that relevant?
99.9% of planning between users takes place on chat. Not only a good means of conversing with other users to avoid trampling on stuff, you can also look back at stuff other people chatted about with others, in order to see what plans they've made that they haven't (yet) told you directly about...
...If you mean the Wiki Chat, like what GC uses...well, the HS Chatango chat is present on the main page of the Shattered Mirror RP (ShadowPhoenix, the head admin of the FRPG, thought of it as a way of opening communication between HSers and SMers), so the Wiki chat's an excellent way for HSers to plan stuff A: somewhere away from prying eyes, and B: in a way where other members, uninvolved with the plans discussed, won't see it, as it'll be deleted before they see it (Commonly, convos between users about what occurs in a story occurs on Chatango's PM function, but it only works 2 ways. For interactions involving 3 or more users, we use the Wiki Chat function. Examples of times we used Wiki chat for such include the scenes for Hellcat Squadran: The Battle for Antares.)
Furthermore, we already encountered the Cybermen and Weeping Angels here, so...yeah...Fortunately, Hellcat Squadran has Eternity's Sentinel, the member of The Guardians that controls Space and Time watching over them...
