nevertheless, an extract is not a story. a story needs a beginning, middle and end - this extract does not have that. this was even stated to be an extract; the "discarded first page of a novelisation", so it should be renamed [[How The Monk Got His Habit (novelisation)]] [[User:DiSoRiEnTeD1|DiSoRiEnTeD1]] [[User talk:DiSoRiEnTeD1|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:57, June 10, 2020 (UTC)

:This absolutely has a beginning, middle and end. It is ''very hard'' to tell any kind of narrative ''anything'' that does ''not'', and you're being very weird, whatever else may or may not be the case, in continuing to insist on this even though it's obviously not true. The narrative of "the Monk was listening to some music, then grew unsatisfied with it and decided to try and fix it, then gave up and went off to listen to some LPs" presents a clear beginning, middle and end. This is unrelated to whether it's an extract, whether it's valid, or ''whatever''. -[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:04, June 10, 2020 (UTC)

::how dare you call me "weird", and my changes "nonsense". you come across as very proud, and unable to accept when you are mistaken. even when a ruling was made that wasnt in your favour, you attempted to have the page majorly reflect your own speculation - by repeatedly making comment about "'''IF''' Harness is to believed" when there is no evidence of a framing device whatsoever. and on a side note, some of the other things in that intro were completely made up - never was it mentioned that the television story and novelisation were written side by side, and a quote from Harness was unsourced and very unfamilar to me.

::anyway, an extract is not a story in itself. George R. R. Martin has released several extracts from his upcoming book but none of them are treated as their own separate stories - because they are not.
