Personally with the other material I am undecided as to what I think, I would say no to:
* Fan Fiction not licenced, e.g. online fiction or anything produced in Fanzines no matter how well written
* BBV Productions such as the time travellers which was using a Doctor Who concept but not in the same way as the "real show".
I am unsure what I think about the inclusion of:
* Perfect Trips
* Perfect Trips
* Missing Pieces
* Missing Pieces
Line 57: Line 53:
* Brief Encounters
* Brief Encounters
* The Unbound Series from Big Finish
* The Unbound Series from Big Finish
* The Licenced Comic Strips
* BBV Productions


As for the Comic Strips I really dont know what I think about those. Personally I would go with include the ones which fit in with continuity and exclude the ones which dont (John and Gillian for example) but this doesnt seem a very consistent policy.

See Separately my argument on the use of [[Novelizations]] (Its under discussion tab)
This will hopefully allow for the inclusion of more info on the site, keeping it as wide a policy as possible but keeping those stories not commonly accepted as cannon separate
