I'm not familiar enough with tumblr to be certain, but this seems very plausible. In my main fandom, the Tolkienverse, it's very easy to spot which writer is coming from tumblr and tagging accordingly (and not very helpfully) versus those coming from other platforms and archives, and it can be rather confusing even to find fic or find out what kind of fic this is. At least for us, it's easier insofar as seeing people doing the tumblr tagging are most likely to write movie fandom. Apart from hopefully tagging sensibly, I'm using something some people do in those archives where tags aren't available, which is writing a kind of header in the chapter notes and stating there what source was used, or if it's a mix, which often happens (for example, I write mainly book canon, but sometimes use some visual influences from the movies). But having it done in the way you're describing it for Doctor Who would seriously annoy me, too.
