Summer Falls
The foreword for the newly released version of Summer Falls gives a brief bio of Amelia Williams as an author, mentioning that she lives in New York with her husband Rory and her son Anthony. Would this affect whether or not Anthony Williams is considered a canonical part of the DW universe? TARDIStraveler ☎ 17:23, October 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Whatever the case, he's now been mentioned in WC: Rory's Story as well, so this page will need to be reworked to have a focus on the information from valid sources. Danochy ☎ 23:48, April 11, 2020 (UTC)
- I completely agree. I've been trying to get Summer Falls as the story in the 'First Mentioned In:' part of the infobox. I'm not even sure why this warrants a discussion. New Series Adventures are a valid source, and the 'about the author' segment is within the front and back cover, so surely it's on the same level as the rest of the stories within that anthology. Heck, I'd try and get the 'about the author' section it's own wiki entry.

- You see, there is a bit of a procedural question. It is my understanding (though I have not read the book yet) that the Introduction of Summer Falls constitutes a full-on story. If this is so, the precedent would be for covering the About the Authors section as a brief "foreword" to that story, rather than a story in its own right. On its own merits, it's not really a story, and though that is a policy which I do not personally condone, only narrative sources are allowed. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 23:44, April 13, 2020 (UTC)
Adopted?
I'd argue that Anthony was very much implied to have been adopted in Rory's Story. Rory described him as "coming home" in a week to "me and your new mum", which sound more like a reference to adoption than a description of birth. Danochy ☎ 00:50, April 12, 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah I agree it's heavily implied, but I didn't say so in the main body because he doesn't say so explicitly. Toqgers ☎ 00:57, April 12, 2020 (UTC)
- It was established in Asylum of the Daleks that Amy could no longer bear children due to what happened to her at Demon's Run, so he's definitely not biologically Amy's. I also feel it incredibly unlikely that Amy would be up and about painting rooms so soon after giving birth, or that they wouldn't have simply bought Anthony home from the hospital with them after.
