That sounds…SO AWESOME! Really it would explain so much, The Doctor’s love of humanity not to mention why he is so different from the other Time Lords. I wonder if End of Time took some influence from this concept.
BTW, for our fiction, I wondered if I could lightly hint at aspects of the Cartmel Masterplan and the Segal Masterplan? Nothing too strong of course, especially not at first, but just poking and prodding the concept, and lightly touching upon the possibility that the Doctor is, as the Seventh Doctor once said, “far more than just another Time Lord…” ‘Cause like I said, he may have the two hearts and the thirteen legal lives and more biological lives still, but he doesn’t act like a dull, officious Time Lord. Not one incarnation to date does, except for the Valeyard. Some incarnations act more like some eldritch higher-dimensional being that borders on being an unusually benign and alien God (one thinks of Tom Baker, Colin Baker, Matt Smith, and Peter Capaldi), and others are flat-out human (one thinks of Patrick Troughton, Peter Davison, Paul McGann, and David Tennant), and others still are both human and Godly. And the Master? There’s obviously a close connection between the Doctor and the Master that the Master understands better than the Doctor himself, and he loves and hates the Doctor so much, and the Doctor doesn’t seem to understand why. As for the Doctor and humans, most incarnations are impressed by human culture and the majority of the Doctors see humans as having the potential as being one of the greatest peoples in the Universe, even greater than the Time Lords. Some could actually interpret the more hostile-to-humans attitude of the Seventh, Ninth, and Twelfth Doctors not as hate, but rather, as “tough love” to get humans to use their heads and tap into their full potential.

welcome to the madness…the magical, world hopping, madness, deary 
Pleased to make your aquaintance, and glad to know I’m not any worse behaved than anyone else here! Too bad you can’t follow people here like you can on FIMFiction, but I have to say, the overall culture is more friendly than FIMFiction’s!

I think, since combining the two concepts was my idea mostly, that The End of Time drew from a scrapped Pertwee episode and maybe the original Cartmel Masterplan.
Then again, when Phil Segal realized that completely overhauling the original series was a bit much, he tried to redeem some of his ideas with the original canon, thus giving us the TV movie. He may have taken the Cartmel Masterplan into account. If he did, it would have turned out something like I imagined…
Yeah, I also noticed that the Master is far more than just your average Time Lord, and the Doctor doesn’t act like a Time Lord. At all. He’s trapped in a body with two hearts, but he seems to be more of a God and more of a Man than a Time Lord, a demi-God who loves humans and feels more at home with them than with other Time Lords. So I combined them in such a way that addresses these issues.
I think RumplesGirl so far has each one to a T. She even noticed traits about the Time Lords that flew over most heads! For example, most fans seem to think of the Eighth Doctor as the kiss-Doctor, but he was the hyperactive Doctor, the wide-eyed explorer Doctor, the honorable soldier Doctor, and the “Punisher” Doctor who was a moral absolutist and therefore one of the most dangerous to the Daleks. She also noted that not only does the Sixth Doctor have a repuation as the evil Doctor, but also notes that the Sixth Doctor was still a dutiful type (if anything, the “Evil Doctor” would be the Seventh Doctor or the Twelfth Doctor, if one chooses to forget the War Doctor and the Valeyard, and the Seventh has been beautifully cast with the innocent Henry, to contrast the less-than-innocent Seventh Doctor) Of course, now we have the War Doctor and the Twelfth Doctor. Let’s not forget the Valeyard either. But the rest were so well-cast I’m not sure.
