Inclusion debates/Rescue PROSE

I question our decision upon making the short story piece Rescue an invalid source. Now, thinking back to the drunken haze that was my teen years on this site I might have had a part in making stories like this invalid, or maybe not. Either way, I think that there is a distinct difference between Rescue and other short stories like it which have been labeled invalid. The main reason (that I can surmise) that this story has been marked as invalid is that it serves as a sort of prequel to Dimensions in Time. We have thus eliminated it by its connection to the invalid TV story. However, while it has been decided that DiT was sadly meant to be nothing more than "a bit of fun" with its creators, I don't know that the same novelty detachment was centered upon the prequel here. It seems, as far as I can tell, that it was written by someone trying to introduce these two characters meeting without worrying about the other story. Unless there's a quote from the creator saying that it was meant as a gag or otherwise, I don't see a reason to keep it isolated.
