I was unfamiliar with the Smoking Mirror situation, but, uh, that looks to me like a story featuring the Sixth Doctor, pitched to BBC Books, rejected, and then published without the appropriate permissions or rights from the BBC, unlike the 10,000 Dawns stories discussed here, of which all elements that cross over with the Doctor Who universe are appropriately licensed. Smoking Mirror is equivalent to Jim Mortimore's Campaign, or maybe to the pre-Big Finish adaptation script release of Farewell Great Macedon, but not to 10,000 Dawns.

So, yes, this is actually totally irrelevant, for the patently clear reason that Smoking Mirror is unlicensed, illegally published fanfiction, while the 10,000 Dawns stories are not.
