Well, I was browsing the internet lately (as I am wont to do) when I discovered the Advent Calender, specifically the short story The Frozen. So, I have two questions about this.

1. Do we consider this canon? Or at least canon enough to be brought up?
2. If we do consider it canon, what would be the abbreviation be? Do we have anything for general short-stories? Would it need a new abbreviation, like AC or something?

Personally, I would go with yes for the first one, but I have no idea for the second. I want to see if anyone else has any ideas for this. -<Azes13 19:06, 2 December 2007 (UTC)>-

The WC prefix would do us, wouldn't it? Or if not, maybe we should replace it with one that would comfortably cover all web-offered content.--Richard Jones 19:10, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I dunno, webcast would just seem to apply to the internet animations (though we may get those later in the month). -<Azes13 19:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)>-

True, but I think we need to be carefull not to let ourselves get swamped with prefixes here. We give this story the acronym 'AC' for 'Advent Calender' and a few months down the line, when the BBC put some more stories or something online to promote the start of the new series then we're looking for another.

The big thing about internet material is that it tends to be mixed-media. I think we should be considering changing 'WC' to mean Web Content and using it for all the relevant Doctor Who material that the BBC generates for the web. --Richard Jones 22:44, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
