Dummy Massacre (short story)

Dummy Massacre was the second short story exclusively published on the Who is Doctor Who? website on 27 March 2005 by the BBC webteam. The short story was notable for two reasons: firstly, although his identity would be kept a secret in this story and the next few, this was the first short story on the website to feature Mickey Smith; and secondly, the story was set in the aftermath of the Dummy Massacre as seen in Rose.

Plot
A new webmaster is operating the conspiracy website Who is Doctor Who? and has posted a selection of accounts from the site's readers about the very recent Dummy Massacre, an attack by "killing dolls" on the population; at 07:08PM, when the London Eye became a "wheel of fire", CK saw the Eye from Westminster Bridge and TERI_LOVER, who was on the wheel, thought they were going to die; at 07:09PM, when the dummies came to life, Alison was in Holland's in Bluewater when the dummies began to open fire, Max was at a coffee stall outside Bond Street station and hid behind the counter, and Saman78 was in Covent Garden and initially assumed the dummies were a mime act; and at 07:16PM, the attack stopped, NickP had to resist the urge to hurl when he smelt the dummies die.

The webmaster also leaves an area for the site's readers to submit more stories about the attack.

Continuity

 * This story, and The Doctor Was Involved in the Dummy Massacre, was set in the aftermath of TV: Rose.
 * This story was also set at the same time as PROSE: Operation Mannequin, which was told from UNIT's perspective.
 * Mickey Smith taking over Who is Doctor Who? would become an ongoing storyline in later stories published on the Who is Doctor Who? tie-in website, from The Doctor Was Involved in the Dummy Massacre to Lifeboat Museum. The short story The Secret Lives of Monsters, although it has a few minor contradictions with the tie-in website, does mention that the in-universe website continued to be updated after Clive Finch's death. Even the short story Mickey's Blog, which alternately asserts that Mickey never took over Who is Doctor Who? and instead ran a blog, followed a very similar plot to the tie-in website.
