: Hi Noob, welcome to the timeline pages. I think the reason we don’t cite stripped for action here is because the placement is fairly clear on it’s own, compared to the seventh Doctor strips which interweave with the virgin novels so it helps to mention that they’ve specifically been placed in that order by DWM. Whereas with the Sixth Doctor comics, we know that they take place years after The Two Doctors, feature Peri's transition from her Season 22 appearance to her Season 23 appearance, and most of the stories run consecutively. | |||
: So maybe I’d just stick a reference to stripped for action on the entry for The Shapeshifter, just to 100% clarify that it’s set between seasons. I don’t think there’s much point in doing it for the rest of the run because we know it must take place before Trial without having to be told that. | |||
: I personally try to avoid going by stripped for action because there’s a lot of unnecessary solo gaps crammed in without explanation for how the Doctor is travelling without a companion, and a lot of stuff is blatantly wrong particularly with the Fourth Doctor order. Plus in terms of this timeline, there’s absolutely no way that the lost stories take place before these comics. But then, those stories didn’t really exist in any completed commercial form at the time this list was made so their actual continuity wouldn’t have been taken into account anyway. | |||
: So yeah, maybe cite stripped for action on The Shapeshifter but I’d leave it at that. Also, if you want to leave your signature, just type four tildes (~). | |||
