"writers always take the laziest possible route if you don't put them under the whip. The problem is that I can't normally risk saying things like this, because there's so much ego among the writers - there are so many people who insist on being treated like some kind of "fandom elite", or who insist on being treated like "professionals", or who want to believe in this ludicrous code of conduct which makes it illegal for anyone to say anything bad about them even if they act like complete tits - that whenever I say something like "ooh, Compassion was used really badly, it was crap" people immediately assume that I'm making it personal. Which I'm not, usually. I know that (Paul) Cornell, for one, was very critical of the way I slagged off the other books which had used Faction Paradox and said that you had to give up the idea of autonomy if you're working in a shared universe. And that's true, absolutely true." [1]

I've cleaned up most of the quote blocks without removing the info, but I'm not really sure the best way of integrating this one into the article, as I'm not that familiar with Miles. There's also this paragraph:

The Book of the War was a project Miles begun as he explored various mediums (following his work with BBV). The novel "I've always seen the Time Lords as being elementals rather than aliens anyway, so I suppose the point is that The Book of the War uses the mythological elements from Doctor Who but nothing else." [2]

This is a bit of a non-sequitur, presumably because his BBV works aren't part of Doctor Who per our policies and have been moved to the Faction Paradox wiki. -- Tybort (talk page) 14:18, September 23, 2013 (UTC)
