This is, realistically, not really a sandbox for writing Speedrounds Three. But since I've pretty much figured out what I want to do in Speedround Two, I need somewhere to move all my general notes about topics I've ruled our or am considering.
Topics
Am generally considering
- Billy Smart's Children's Circus (TV story) - Seems to go with the Proms. Could use a debate but it feels silly to debate things we don't even have pages on.
- Do You Have a Licence to Save this Planet? - No one wants to give BBV more coverage, we're all tired of it. But this is one of the cases where you could make a clear case for the video.
- Doctor Who Pinball: Time Streams / Time Streams - In my top 4 "Things that should be valid" hot-takes. If I include this in a group post, it should be the only "long" one, since people could disagree with me and there's no reason to overwhelm people.
- Jon Culshaw - There are a few select segments from the 2000s of Jon Culshaw as the Doctor which might not be parody by nature. Should we attempt to approach this topic, since Culshaw did so much content as the Doctor? (See: The Secret of Germany vs England and other obscurities) Or should all live-action Culshaw material be considered "parody" by nature? I know that I personally hate the idea of Culshaw having a tab in the Fourth Doctor infobox. I think I lean towards invalid for this topic.
- I might actually recommend giving Culshaw his own sub page, allowing invalid coverage of the Culshaw skits, or both.
- This is a weird one because it seems so extremely minor but it could have massive implications if we do it wrong. Might just be too much for a speed round.
- Extras: The Special - So I do not want this valid, I think it should be non-valid. But I think the way we cover it just isn't fun. This story is non-valid for being a fictional episode of Doctor Who inside of another TV show. But I think editors in the non-valid space could be able to add this info to, say, Tenth Doctor/Non-valid sources, and not just David Tennant/Non-valid sources.
- Devious - Arguing for coverage but not validity.
- Peter Capaldi and Simon the Shy Cyberman Invite You to Breakfast with 7 Doctors - arguing for non-validity
things I've ruled out
- The Last Dalek/K9: Deja Who/Daleks v Cybermen - Can't do this because it involves changing the rules. Should move this to an OP about "what if" stories.
- Voice from the Vortex! - Don't really care about this one, but it would fit well into What If? OP
- Special Executive stories -- but only ones which feature Wardog, Cobweb, and Zeitgeist (mmaaaaaybe Fascination) - This is already being covered. No need to kick a hornest's nest.
