Faction Paradox definately IS within DWU, it just takes place in the timeline where [[The Ancestor Cell]] didn't happen, and the [[Second War in Heaven]] continued as normal. There are far too many overlaps with characters from DW and Bernice Summerfield for it to be considered non-canon. --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 18:47, January 30, 2011 (UTC)

::I always thought FP happened because Larry Miles pitched one of his famous hissy-fits cause he didn't like how ''The Ancestor Cell'' had been written, so he took his toys off to another universe to play. Aren't all the references to the DWU incredibly oblique and, in any case, one-way?   Actual, branded DW stuff doesn't directly and unambiguously refer to FP elements, does it? I could have sworn it was all "coded language" to avoid copyright probs with the BBC — just like most of BBV's output. It's not ''actually'' the Time Lords or Gallifrey, right? {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}

::If its not the Time Lords or Gallifrey then it's hard to see how Lolita, one of the Master's (called as such in Toy Story) previous TARDISes. Faction Paradox preys heavily on Doctor Who's past, with Morbius, Chris Cwej, Compassion and many other characters appearing. The "Evil Renegade" who Cwej used to travel with is also the Doctor. BBC books in the "War arc" like Unnatural History and the Taking of Planet 5 reference events that occured within the Faction Paradox books (Time Lords deserting Gallifrey, Mictlan being destroyed etc.). --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 13:31, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
