When it comes to continuity, tone, and worldview, the ''Doctor Who'' universe's many spin-offs and sub-series have usually been more concerned with themselves than each other. | When it comes to continuity, tone, and worldview, the ''Doctor Who'' universe's many spin-offs and sub-series have usually been more concerned with themselves than each other. For instance, within a series such as ''[[The Monthly Adventures]]'', one can expect to find more references to previous audios and the Classic show than the [[Virgin Decalogs]] or [[Doctor Who annual]]s. As a result, each series presents a relatively self-contained chunk of [[the Doctor's reality]]. Sometimes these pieces have ebbed and flowed into each other through shared characters or references; other times, they have gone out of their way to paint each other as separate timelines or universes. | ||
While acknowleding that most sources suggest these chunks all to be the same reality, covering them separately helps to highlight the ways in which they stand on their own. [[User:TheChampionOfTime|TheChampionOfTime]] has paved the way for this with the creation of pages like [[Virgin reality]].<ref>To emphasize the fact that these are ''not'' necessarily separate realities, perhaps it would be better to use subpages such as [[The Doctor's reality/Virgin reality]] etc.</ref> To help myself keep it all straight, this table matches the "reality" pages, both created and relinked, with the approximate stories and series they cover. | While acknowleding that most sources suggest these chunks all to be the same reality, covering them separately helps to highlight the ways in which they stand on their own.
