He has also written charity Doctor Who fan fiction with Mark Clapham. Asked about his habit of co-writing with a variety of people Smith commented - "I've written things with a lot of different people, partially because I'm a great believer in third brain theory, and partially as a series of attempts to disguise my own lack of talent."[1] He is a co-owner of/reviewer for the Shiny Shelf blog and its sister sites.
