Ignoring that "fan fiction" is a nebulous term and could be applied even to the 2005 revival of the series, I want to point out that ''[[A Better World (short story)|A Better World]]'' and ''[[A Most Unfortunate Pit Stop (short story)|A Most Unfortunate Pit Stop]]'' doesn't use any BBC owned elements, albeit for a few references... but these instances aren't any more of an egregious reference to something not owned by the author, than let's say, certain [[Bernice Summerfield (series)|Bernice Summerfield]] books that mention [[the Doctor]] or the [[Dalek]]s, or BBC licensed stories that mention things like [[Iris Wildthyme]], [[Faction Paradox]], or the plethora of elements owned by the [[Haisman Estate]]. So while the Fan Gallery stories are being removed for the lack of licensing on the BBC's part, ''A Better World'' and ''A Most Unfortunate Pit Stop'' don't really have any BBC owned elements in there anyway, so they surely meet the licensing requirements, and '''I believe ''these'' stories should be covered on the Tardis Data Core as valid.''' <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><tt>'''Epsilon'''</tt></span>]]''' '''[[User talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 18:42, November 23, 2020 (UTC) |
