Walking in Eternity
- You may be looking for the anthology as it exists in the DWU.
Walking in Eternity was a series of one charity anthology privately printed and distributed in May 2001 in return for donations to the Foundation for the Study of Infant Death. Sales of the book raised over £2000 for FSID. Some of the anthology's stories were written by authors of official Doctor Who universe material, with three of the stories notably reprinted in Obverse Books' Iris Wildthyme collection Bafflement & Devotion.
Walking in Eternity was edited by Jay Eales, who had previously co-edited Perfect Timing 2.[1] Eales later edited Obverse's 2013 Faction Paradox anthology Burning with Optimism's Flames, which featured the return of several authors from Walking in Eternity, including Sarah Hadley and Alan Taylor as well as returning Faction Paradox contributors Kelly Hale, Simon Bucher-Jones, Philip Purser-Hallard, and Jonathan Dennis.

Walking to Eternity
Editor Jay Eales intentionally sought wild submissions with the goal of differentiating the anthology from Missing Pieces, saying, "If Missing Pieces is about building a big brick wall of continuity, with its stories as the grouting, to make the best damn wall you can have, WinE is about taking that beautiful big continuity wall, and setting dynamite at the base, blowing it up and then building something new and equally lovely out of the bits."[1]
Publisher's summary
Hoaxes! Dreams! Imaginary stories!
Or perhaps the truth?
