Talk:The Doctor and the Enterprise

do we really need to have this article?

I mean, why this piece of fanfic versus any other? the charity anthologies can get a pass because ofthe overlap betwen some of the writers and professionally published stuff, but I mean, I don't think this has any excuse, even if it did get published by a semi-pro publisher, once.

have a little bit of personal prejudice here because I have read the book in question and not liked it, but I have read fanfic and liked it (a lot) and I don't argue for their inclusion in this Wiki. --Stardizzy2 23:54, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm in two minds about this, on the one hand yes I somewhat agree with your reasoning (in that it's basically fan fic). However, It was published (the second edition anyway, with an ISBN) so that makes it relatively professional also the author had previously written a factual Doctor Who book. For now I think we can leave it, it is part of Doctor Who's cultural landscape. --Tangerineduel 13:15, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

on a factual note, I think this may have had three, not two editions. one, the fanzine version, two the paperback and three, the paperback, though with a different-looking cover. (I think that the illustration to the article shows the third cover.) I know for a fact that the first, fanzine version exists, because I have a copy.

While i agree to having the Charity ones. This one while fan fic is written by someone who has worked on doctor who (Or at least a reference book) so i think its fine but it may lead to people with no connection to doctor who trying to post their fan fic on the wiki Dark Lord Xander 13:37, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
