* The [[Eternal]] [[Fate (Hark! The Herald Angels Sing)|Fate]] was first mentioned in [[Mags L. Halliday]]'s short story ''A Handful of Silver'' in the [[charity publication|charity anthology]] ''Perfect Timing 2''. Fate then featured, alongside [[Life (Hark! The Herald Angels Sing)|Life]], in Chris McKeon's unlicensed completion of [[Craig Hinton]]'s ''[[Time's Champion (novel)|Time's Champion]]''. The idea of [[Chronovore]]s being Life's agents is also present from that novel, where [[Kronos]] is Life's champion, inspiring the description of [[Angel]]s in this story as very reminiscent of Chronovores (being winged and crystalline). | * The [[Eternal]] [[Fate (Hark!

* The reference to "the first [[parahuman]] brigades" alongside the first [[breeding-engine]]s is a reference to [[Lance Parkin]]'s short story ''Executive Action'' from the charity anthology ''Walking in Eternity'', where [[Wardog]] and other parahuman members of the [[Special Executive]] are said to have been created in Rassilon's first experiments with [[Loom]]s. The Special Executive and [[Killer Cat of Gin-Seng|killer cats]] of early [[Gallifreyan history]] were previously juxtaposed in [[Daniel O'Mahony]]'s ''A Rag and a Bone'' in the 2003 fanzine ''Myth Makers Presents: Essentials''. | * The reference to "the first [[parahuman]] brigades" alongside the first [[breeding-engine]]s is a reference to [[Lance Parkin]]'s short story ''Executive Action'' from the charity anthology ''[[Walking in Eternity]]'', where [[Wardog]] and other parahuman members of the [[Special Executive]] are said to have been created in Rassilon's first experiments with [[Loom]]s.
