Template:After Cheetahs
It's difficult to understand what happens to the Master after Survival without examining the real-life publishing history of non-televised Doctor Who. Each major purveyor of Doctor Who fiction in the 1990s gave a different take on what happened to the post-Cheetah Master, largely because each had differing publishing ambitions.
Although there are three post-Survival paths for the Master, the explanations given by both BBC Books and the Virgin New Adventures don't contradict each other about what happens immediately pre-TV movie. They don't tell the same story, of course, but neither are they in irresolvable conflict. The Eight Doctors is simply more interested in telling the story of the morphant snake, while Lungbarrow concentrates on the political gambit that Lord President Romana undertakes in handing over the Master to the Daleks.
