:::I'm reading it more as "This series of The New Adventures is now ending, but its spirit shall live on in a ''new'' series by the same title." Have we thought of maybe using (Doctor Who) and (Bernice Summerfield) as parentheticals?{{User:SOTO/sig}} 04:04, January 11, 2019 (UTC) | :::I'm reading it more as "This series of The New Adventures is now ending, but its spirit shall live on in a ''new'' series by the same title."

::::I think it's pretty clear in calling this "the end", "last" in the series, and in calling ''Oh No It Isn't!'' the "first" of a new series, "a new beginning". Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that the "''new'' New Adventures" were also a continuation of the series which ended with ''The Dying Days''. And we're not given any name to easily differentiate them.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 04:10, January 11, 2019 (UTC) | ::::I think it's pretty clear in calling this "the end", "last" in the series, and in calling ''Oh No It Isn't!'' the "first" of a new series, "a new beginning".

::Well okay, I don't know how easily we can dismiss the symbolic or metaphorical interpretation. Those statements are inherently contradictory, so regardless of which way you look at it, some of them ''must'' be intended figuratively; we could go back and forth forever about which are which. But I'm willing to cede the point, because frankly I'm not certain what difference it makes. We can't use [[Virgin New Adventures (Bernice Summerfield)]], because not all the novels feature Bernice Summerfield as a main character or at all, and it still has the same ambiguity problems as the current title. I just edited [[User:NateBumber/Sandbox4]] to reflect that "New Adventures" is an imprint rather than a series, and I think it looks pretty good. Though I'd be eager to know any feedback! – [[User:NateBumber|N8]] [[User_talk:NateBumber|☎]] 01:36, January 22, 2019 (UTC) | |||
