User:SOTO/Forum Archive/Inclusion debates/@comment-45314928-20200606025128/@comment-33695797-20200607201634 I just read through this thread and for the most part, I agree with Scrooge and Najawin. However there's another possibility we haven't considered, and this is what I interpreted it to be, a combination of B and C. Based on what Harness and Cook have said, I think Harness wrote a novel, or part of it, based on his rejected script. It is highly unlikely this would be a Target novelisation (and by the way, I must add that a novel is an original work; a novelisation is an adaptation of something else), though I can't even see any mention of Target for How the Monk Got His Habit, unlike Doctor Who and the Time War. But if there is a reference to Target that I missed, I think Harness intended to have some other publisher publish his novelisation— probably BBC Books as they have done Douglas Adams and Gareth Roberts's Shada, Adams and James Goss's Doctor Who and the Krikkitmen, and Tom Baker's Scratchman. Although note the last one is the only one written by the author of the original script, Tom Baker himself. Anyway BBC books is just a guess. Anyway, after Target started publishing new novelisations, and especially after RTD's framing device, Harness took part of his novelisation, of which we don't know what publisher it was intended for, and formatted it as a Target story— if that really is the case, as I repeat I haven’t seen evidence this is framed as a Target story.
