:::It was explicitly stated, near the end, that River wrote the "novel" & (somehow) got it to Amy so that Amy could write the afterword & get the thing published. Conversations when Amy was present but River wasn't needn't be guesswork, however. If Amy gets the typescript before publication, she can correct (or insert) those conversations. Provided that River gets the Doctor's account of his actions when none of the other 3 were present & Amy gets Rory's account, all 4 points of view will be as accurate as memory can make them. The "novel" would then be a collaborative effort by the 4 of them, just as the actions were. (I'm usually 89, but I'm only 2, just now)--[[Special:Contributions/2.96.17.102|2.96.17.102]]<sup>[[User talk:2.96.17.102#top|talk to me]]</sup> 23:27, September 30, 2012 (UTC) | :::It was explicitly stated, near the end, that River wrote the "novel" & (somehow) got it to Amy so that Amy could write the afterword & get the thing published.

::::Your second paragraph is the point I was trying to make, but put much more clearly. But I think what Saghan was arguing is that Amy _didn't_ get a typescript from River, because she was the one doing the typing. But even if it was Amy doing the typing (I'm still not sure), she could have retyped River's typescript, or retyped a few pages. Or maybe River gave her a longhand manuscript and said "Mom, type my homework for me." (I'll bet anyone born after the 70s doesn't believe people used to say that… but they did.) The only significance I can see if the typing hands are clearly Amy's is that it's an extra clue to the same conclusion that you and we all already came to (Amy could have edited River's book), but that many viewers might not have. --[[Special:Contributions/70.36.140.233|70.36.140.233]]<sup>[[User talk:70.36.140.233#top|talk to me]]</sup> 05:54, October 1, 2012 (UTC) | |||
