::::You've got me all wrong if you think I'm saying [[Peter Harness]] was ''lying'' about his having actually planned the novel. I think he claimed to have planned the novel in 2015 as a self-evidently outrageous metafictional framing for his new short story — no different from the framing of ''[[The Thief of Sherwood (short story)|The Thief of Sherwood]]'' being framed as scavenged material of a lost Hartnell serial. There's no lying because the readers aren't supposed to believe for one moment that the improbable 2015 novelisation ever existed. | ::::You've got me all wrong if you think I'm saying [[Peter Harness]] was ''lying'' about his having actually planned the novel.

:::Either way, though, you haven't addressed my point. What does it change if the page is indeed an extract from a 2015 draft? If, as you claim, Harness was no longer permitted to release new DWU thing as part of his Tweetalong by this point — then why would it make any difference whether the DWU thing had been written in 2015 or 2020? He'd still be infringing the BBC's copyright by publishing it. Either Harness had the right to publish prose with the Monk on 11 April 2020, or he did not ("[[Genesis of the Daleks (TV story)|does he have the right?]]"); the exact nature of the prose with the Monk isn't the point in this instance. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:41, May 17, 2020 (UTC) | ::::Either way, though, you haven't addressed my point.
