While I have a certain fondness for Jean Airey's THE DOCTOR AND THE
ENTERPRISE, the story doesn't hold much water with me.  The writing is
crisp, and there are some intriguing ideas, but the plot logic is missing
and the story can't withstand much scrutiny.  And Captain Kirk comes across
as a real drip in the story for no good reason.

Rusty Shock wrote a Who/Star Wars crossover called STARS AND TIME that
works very well.  Paul Gadzikowski has written a few short Who/Wars
crossover scenes that I've enjoyed as well.

I have no trouble with vampires in Star Trek.  If worse came to worse, I
would use the Brian Lumley explanation from the Necroscope books--alien
parasites not unlike the Trill slugs.  Are vampiric aliens really any more
fantastic than shapeshifting liquid intelligences like the Founders?

A jewel from Quarmall or a girl from Kled, A caravel said to be docking soon,
