Hmm, I've thought of something else. If Harness were to publish this novelisation, would we consider it distinct from this extract? I think it may depend on whether the novelisation already exists, or if he created the idea of one for this story. If the former, it's rather like a preview, and I'm not sure if it would count as a different story. But if he extended this "extract" to a novelisation after he wrote it, it's more of an adaptation. Rather like how The Drosten's Curse (novel) is an adaptation and extension of The Death Pit (short story). The first part of the novel uses the short story pretty much verbatim, but they're different stories published separately. So again, we need to know whether this novelisation B already existed— at least, that's my approach.
