* '' | * ''Three Faces of Helena'' was originally planned to be a collection of three interlinked novellas done by three different writers: [[Iain McLaughlin]], a returning ''Erimem'' writer, and a first-time author. Creative differences between the first-time author and McLaughlin prevented this three-novella plan from being fulfilled. Mclaughlin retooled ''The Three Faces of Helena'' into a novel written solely by himself. [http://www.thebespublishing.com/three-faces-update] | ||
* [[Allan Quatermain]] is an established public domain character from the works of [[Henry Rider Haggard]]. First appearing in {{wi|King Solomon's Mines}}, {{w|Allan Quartermain}} appeared in a total of 21 stories written by Haggard. The short story ''[[White Man's Burden (short story)|White Man's Burden]]'' indicates that Quatermain is a fictional character in the world of ''Doctor Who''. | |||
