 :: Fangs isn't parody, it's just meta fictional. [[Special:Contributions/81.108.82.15|81.108.82.15]]<sup>[[User talk:81.108.82.15#top|talk to me]]</sup> 00:11, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
+:::As I said, I have read it recently, so the tonal indications are fresh in my mind. This isn't conventional metafiction; it clearly reads as a parody. The "rude drawings" of Terrance Dicks and Barry Letts seem to further this. The subtle jab at Virgin, etc. feels more like using the Doctor as a narrative device in which the author, and the fans reading the comic, can see what the Doctor ''would say'' if he were talking to a fan.
+:::This wiki is no stranger to "what if" scenarios. Virtually every story, if looked at from a great distance, is a "what if." But reading the comic felt less story and more "fan writes autobiographical love letter to show, with the main character acting as a foil to both fans and the author's stand-in." That's parody.

 :: Re. ''Senor 105''... funny misconception that I distinctly remember. [[Cody Schell]] ''never ever'' it wasn't set in the DWU. He said it didn't belong on a ''Doctor Who'' Wiki. That is a large distinction everyone glossed over.
