Categories should be clear cut, but as of now there are a lot of different beliefs as to what constitutes a story's inclusion under a story arc category. | Categories should be clear cut, but as of now there are a lot of different beliefs as to what constitutes a story's inclusion under a story arc category. | ||

I would conclude that revealing the mystery of the arc doesn't exclude stories published afterwards. If the arc is invoked/expanded at a later date, then that story becomes part of the arc due to the central subject. The Bad Wolf arc in ''Turn Left'' or the Clara Oswin Oswald arc in ''[[Blood and Ice (comic story)|Blood and Ice]]'' are examples of this: they may have occurred later, but they're nevertheless connected by the subjects of Bad Wolf and Clara's echoes, respectively. | I would conclude that revealing the mystery of the arc doesn't exclude stories published afterwards.

Similarly, if a story is intended within the time period of an arc and directly references it, such as ''[[Weapons of Past Destruction (comic story)|Weapons of Past Destruction]]'' being a Nine, Rose, and Jack story and including a Bad Wolf Bargains sign arc reference at the bazaar, it should also be included in the category. | Similarly, if a story is intended within the time period of an arc and directly references it, such as ''[[Weapons of Past Destruction (comic story)|Weapons of Past Destruction]]'' being a Nine, Rose, and Jack story and including a Bad Wolf Bargains sign arc reference at the bazaar, it should also be included in the category. | ||
