: No, it is an entirely separate account to how the Time Lords first regenerated, and anything to the contrary is, to quote the behind the scenes section, "a fan theory". That is why it's irrelevant to a page on the Timeless Child from series 12. | : No, it is an entirely separate account to how the Time Lords first regenerated, and anything to the contrary is, to quote the behind the scenes section, "a fan theory".

: Also in my mind (and maybe discussions to the contrary in regard to including Faction Paradox can clear this up), equating Great Houses with the reference in the [[Virgin New Adventures]] is itself a violation of [[Four little rules|rule 2]] (which is how I also described ''Out of the Box'' in [[Special:Diff/3389523]]), given how [[Mad Norwegian Press]] is not a BBC licencee. The term biodata isn't even mentioned in ''The Timeless Children'' that I'm aware of. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 17:00, 17 January 2023 (UTC) | : Also in my mind (and maybe discussions to the contrary in regard to including Faction Paradox can clear this up), equating Great Houses with the reference in the [[Virgin New Adventures]] is itself a violation of [[Four little rules|rule 2]] (which is how I also described ''Out of the Box'' in [[Special:Diff/3389523]]), given how [[Mad Norwegian Press]] is not a BBC licencee.

:: ''[[Out of the Box (short story)|Out of the Box]]'' is perhaps another matter (there is nothing in the text to connect the Child-That-Was-Taken to the Sun Builders at all, save BTS implication), but as regards equation between the [[Great House]]s and the Time Lords — particularly the Time Lords of the VNAs and EDAs — please familiarise yourself with [[T:HOMEWORLD]].

{{quote|For example, tthe ''[[Faction Paradox (series)|Faction Paradox]]'' series continues the story of the [[War in Heaven]], a [[time war]] established in the [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures|BBC ''Eighth Doctor Adventures'']] as being fought between the [[Time Lord|Time Lords]] of [[Gallifrey]] and [[the Enemy]]. In [[PROSE]]: ''[[Lungbarrow (novel)|Lungbarrow]]'', the Time Lords were established to have ruling clans known as the [[Great House]]s. The ''Faction Paradox'' series licensed the concept of the "Great Houses" from [[Marc Platt]], and of "the War in Heaven" from [[Lawrence Miles]] — and carried on writing about the War between the Enemy and "members of the Great Houses", whose homeworld is now only ever mentioned as just that... "the Homeworld".<br /><br />Because '''stories licensed to use both terms''', "the members of the Great Houses" and "the Time Lords", already equated the former with the latter, '''only one page is required''' for "Homeworlders" and "Time Lords", and information about "the Homeworld of the Great Houses" belongs on [[Gallifreyan history]].|T:HOMEWORLD}} [[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']] [[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]] 17:02, 17 January 2023 (UTC) | |||
