:I am not sure that I can agree with the proposal's intention of using just "unproduced" or "unreleased" as dabs in this sense at this stage, as part of an issue I have with terminology. It is difficult to perhaps illustrate this... but this would, in my opinion, cause a bit of further complication to the issue we already have with [[Category:Unproduced Doctor Who TV stories]]. | |||
:''The Dark Dimension'', for instance, cannot be called Unproduced. It had a production office, script, recces and contracted cast. But inversely, we cannot really call it Unreleased either. That would suggest a level of completeness that one would assign to ''Journey into Time'' or ''Absent Friends''. | |||
:Further complication exists for ''The Slide'' (arguably, this did get produced in full both as a non-DWU and a DWU story), ''Sealed Orders'' (we know this hit some stage of production, just from the infamous photograph of JNT at his project board for Season 18 in the production office), the minefield of the original Season 23 (twice over - as the writers were recontracted post-hiatus for 25 minute versions of their scripts...), the original ''Mind of the Hodiac'' (as a unsolicited send-in, wouldn't this strictly be a pitch rather than anything else?) | |||
:In essence, what I'm trying to say is that - I have doubts that now is the right time to be finding a specialised dab for all those stories when we have to yet to fix distinct lines on how things should be handled. (for instance, I remain of the mind that things like ''Mind of the Hodiac'' that didn't get a formal script commission should be referred to as pitched or proposed.) I would much prefer that we sort out the matter of how many distinctive terms we are going to need to be accurate before we approach how we would best dab this.
