Prose piece (Bafflement and Devotion)
Around the early 2000s, Paul Magrs was requested to write a prose piece about his books, which he happily agreed to do, although the piece ended up being more about the people who inspired his books as opposed to the books themselves.
In this piece of prose, Paul wrote about his knowledge of the Doctor and his travels with Iris Wildthyme on the desert world of Hyspero, their adventure in the 18th century, and when they (and Iris' companion Jenny Winterleaf) had defeated the Dalek Supreme in the diamond mines of Marlion. He wrote about how the Second and Fourth incarnations of the Doctor were Patrick Troughton and Tom Baker, respectively, and the impact that the Doctor Who series had him through his life.
He wrote about the confusing order of Iris' incarnations, and that the first incarnation of Iris was "rather like Edith Sitwell as she's described in Denton Welch's memoirs", and that this incarnation was the one to call upon all seven Irises to the Death Zone on Gallifrey.

In the Obverse, a chemist had a copy of this piece of prose, bound in human skin. (PROSE: Parsley Sage, Rosemary and Wildthyme [+]Loading...["Parsley Sage, Rosemary and Wildthyme (short story)"])
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
Oddly, the only information given about this prose piece is about what Paul wrote; there is otherwise zero information about the name of the piece, who requested Paul to write it, whether if it's a contribution to a book, a magazine article, etc.
