Oh, it's so nice to have fans!!!!

As for the Doctor having a consistant voice:

What you don't see by just reading the site is e-mail communications between the writers and between the producers of TCT and the writers. If in one session the Doctor doesn't sound quite right, then that part would be edited out to make his character consistant across all the sessions.

Also when two characters interact with eachother, the authors talk about it ahead of time and each has to agree. For example, when Ms. Birch was raped my Joseph, the authors negotiated very carefully.
