Conundrum
This short story presents a rather unique little conundrum that I don't believe I've ever seen in any other story to date in terms of validity.
The main attraction is, of course, the "Scenes Unseen" portion, depicting a clearly in-universe extension of The Power of the Doctor. But "Where Are They Now?" focuses on a character from an invalid source, Harry from An Adventure in Space and Time.
How do we approach this? WaltK ☎ 20:44, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
- I think there are two approaches here. The first approach would be to say that the "Where Are They Now?" is a serious attempt to tie into the DWU, and so validate AAiSaT via rule 4 by proxy. The second would be saying that it is not a serious attempt to tie into the DWU, and call it invalid. Perhaps the two sections ought to be split into their own separate pages for every instalment, being functionally separate stories, which would mean that we could keep the "Scenes Unseen" portion of this valid while invalidating the "Where Are They Now?". We could, of course, do this and still say that the "Where Are They Now?" section is valid. Since they're released under a single title, I would lean towards saying it's the same story, and I would also lean towards the "Where Are They Now?" being a serious attempt to tie into the DWU, though I'm willing to be persuaded on both counts.
