:: Mark that I do not say all this against the idea of a specific thread on ''DiT'' down the line. No matter what the present thread decides about charity releases with commercial licenses to DWU concepts, there will remain a factual question of what ''DiT''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> situation is, exactly, in that respect. For one thing, it remains an open question whether all the non-BBC-owner monsters were technically covered by commercial licenses actively held by the BBC at the time. We could talk of a ''Legacies''-precedent situation, maybe? They're pretty much just cameos… But if not, I suppose we have a problem: it'd be our first cold, hard case of a story that's commercially licensed to use the Doctor, TARDIS & Co., but ''not'' e.g. the Sontarans. There has been much speculation about Lethbridge-Stewarts and the Great Intelligence in NuWho, but nothing solid, so we don't actually have set policy on this… though I think it's fair to say we would ''not'' suddenly declare ''The Snowmen'' uncoverable fanfic even if we did get confirmation that the Intelligence's use was unauthorised. But it does all need to be formally discussed.

::: Oh, I didn't know this was being discussed. I have created a page for ''[[Faking It (short story)|Faking It]]'' from ''[[Bafflement & Devotion: Iris at the Edges (anthology)|Bafflement & Devotion: Iris at the Edges]]'' as it was a) originally published outside of a charity work and b) does not feature any unlicensed DWU material - Iris doesn't even appear.
