:::: So you are not only arguing for something that unnaturally splits works of fiction from how they're intended to consume, you are advocating for a double standard that entirely contravenes a precedent you yourself [[Talk:Honeymoon Horrors (short story)|argued ''for'']]. | :::: So you are not only arguing for something that unnaturally splits works of fiction from how they're intended to consume, you are advocating for a double standard that entirely contravenes a precedent you yourself [[Talk:Honeymoon Horrors (short story)|argued ''for'']]. | ||
:::: And while the common element of ''this'' story is more tenuous given its based on an actor, the rest of the series is absolutely more connected! We have stories united by the common elements of the Sixth Doctor, the 1960s, the Regency era, Ancient Egypt... these stories absolutely, 100% fall under the "shared element idea". | :::: And while the common element of ''this'' story is more tenuous given its based on an actor, the rest of the series is absolutely more connected!

:::: There is absolutely zero difference between {{cs|Loose Ends 2: The 1960s (short story)}} being united by the [[1960s]] to {{cs|Honeymoon Horrors (short story)}} being united by [[Sardicktown]] and {{cs|Have You Seen This Man? (short story)}} being united by the [[Ninth Doctor]] (the latter, admittedly, having a loose framing narrative). {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 21:00, 19 July 2024 (UTC) | :::: There is absolutely zero difference between {{cs|Loose Ends 2: The 1960s (short story)}} being united by the [[1960s]] to {{cs|Honeymoon Horrors (short story)}} being united by [[Sardicktown]] and {{cs|Have You Seen This Man?

This story may be a little bit of an outlier, but what you are arguing for affects the coverage of not just this entire series, but ''many'' similar works. And we absolutely need to consider that the rest of the series is more thematically consistent. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 21:00, 19 July 2024 (UTC) |
