::::: That is, anyway, clearly how they were ''written'', at least to a point. There ''can'' be a meta-narrative that ''[[Zellin's Nightmare World (game)|Zellin's Nightmare World]]'' or ''[[The Doctor vs the Master (short story)|The Doctor vs the Master]]'' are just fiction the Doctor wrote, but that's not how they read when you consider them individually at all, any more than the ''Doctor Who Night'' was sincerely asking its viewers to watch [[Doctor Who (TV story)|the TV Movie]] with the understanding that it's a piece of media [[The Doctor (Introduction to the Night)|the Doctor]] owns, rather than actual events in N-Space. Indeed, the games are no fun at all if you're not allowed to pretend, on some level, that "you" are ''indeed'' fighting Zellin. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:33, November 3, 2020 (UTC) | ::::: That is, anyway, clearly how they were ''written'', at least to a point.

:::::: It’s either all one valid in-universe document, or it’s invalid. Can’t just cherry pick and interpret things to make them fit rules, that opens us up for all sorts of trouble. | |||
:::::: These aren’t individual short stories, they’re an in-universe document consisting of various notes, fact files and diary entries all collated by the Doctor for the benefit of a hypothetical reader. To suggest otherwise would be breaching the factual accuracy of the page. | |||
:::::: Whether this is valid or not doesn’t make a huge difference to me, but what I am opposed to is false information and out of context writing appearing on wiki pages just so something might fit with the rules slightly better than it actually does. Anyone who reads the annual will understand what I’m saying. It’s just not honest to interpret this as anything other than what is plainly presented to us.
