The Michaelmas Phantoms is a 110 page gen Doctor Who novel by Andrew Kearley that was published in 1994. The zine has 62,000 words and was originally intended to be paired with a Blake's 7 zine. However, the publisher obtained enough Blake's 7 material for a separate zine, and "The Michaelmas Phantoms" turned out to be long enough to be a zine in its own right.
