To use a similar example: | |||
In the [[Target novelisation]] of ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', there are interludes in which the Doctor speaks directly to the reader in "real time". In these interludes, the Doctor makes reference multiple times that they're talking to the reader through the book. And we know that's explicitly what they're doing in-universe too. They talk multiple times about the book itself, the events in the actual chapters, they even tell us why the story is being told: what we, and the in-universe readers (which they allude to; talking about one who picked up the book in a bookshop, for example) are reading, are the [[Doctor Papers]], documents that talk about the last day of the [[Last Great Time War]], and that they're being [[Book (The Day of the Doctor)|professionally published as a work of fiction]]. | In the [[Target novelisation]] of ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', there are interludes in which the Doctor speaks directly to the reader in "real time".
