So this is a weird one

Probably not invalid, but really hard to summarize. Also, does anyone know if there's precedent for including "the editor" and "the reader" as characters in a valid source? Reminds me a lot of Life-Cycle in some ways. Najawin 08:38, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Well there is Human (Attack of the Graske). Could I have more context about this story please? 09:40, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
I did say "valid source". It's written like it's an old time comic. Specifically in reference to The Beano. The story basically goes:
Panel X [Short description of what Panel X looks like]
Dialogue between two characters in Panel X
And then you repeat. It does this for 97 panels. It's a comic, but written out, kinda? It's fairly weird, in terms of DWU stories. Najawin 14:45, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
Well apart from Human (Attack of the Graske) and maybe TARDIS Wiki, I can't think of anything comparable to a reader or editor being part of the Wikification. How come we would need a page on the editor, anyway?
And to be clear, the short story is a transcription of a non-existent comic? 14:51, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
