::::I think also we should include any major bits of info in the behind the scenes sections, when dealing with stuff that exists in both DWU/FPU, like Compassion, Cwej etc and then of course like off to the FP Wiki. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 13:50, January 20, 2012 (UTC) | ::::I think also we should include any major bits of info in the behind the scenes sections, when dealing with stuff that exists in both DWU/FPU, like Compassion, Cwej etc and then of course like off to the FP Wiki. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 13:50, January 20, 2012 (UTC) | ||
:::::I think it should be treated just like we'll treat Star Trek content in the crossover - just mention the stuff that actually appears in DWU stories, same as e.g. Jean-Luc Picard. Maybe there should be a general crossover policy?

:Nope, that won't work with the FPU, because they're two different ideas about the same concept. Things happen to, for instance, the London of the FPU that ''don't'' happen to the London of the DWU. It's a different universe. And I don't think a ''general'' crossover policy is possible/desirable. This ST:TNG is the ''first'' time we've had an official crossover. FP is not a crossover; it's a ''totally different'' universe that derives from rights held by an author who once wrote in the DWU. It's confusing to us, because FP is a concept that exists in the DWU, but all of the FP-only books exist in ''explicit'' contradiction to events that occurred in BBC licensed fiction. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">15:22: Mon 20 Feb 2012 </span> | |||
::Returning for the moment to ''The Killing Stone'', I think we can now feel better about having deleted it. In ''Radio Free Skaro'' #297, at the 55'00" mark, [[Richard Franklin]] helpfully begins to talk about ''The Killing Stone'', because he's releasing the full version of ''The Killing Stone'' later this year, called ''Operation: Hate (The Truth about The Killing Stone)''. (The audio was an abridged version of the novel text, which was originally a failed submission to BBC Books.) This new version includes the ''whole'' of the original text, but then adds, according to him, "50% more". He says:{{quote|Actually all of the names have had to be changed, because the BBC copyright situation now is rather tougher than it was when I did ''The Killing Stone''|Richard Franklin}} So that's game set 'n' match to me. The BBC have specifically disallowed ''The Killing Stone''. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">15:22: Mon 20 Feb 2012 </span> | |||
