From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
one final point before i got to sleep, several of Harness' comments before posting the extract show that he had no intention of releasing 'How The Monk Go His Habit' as a short story. his comments range from "I should definitely do it one day" [1] to "maybe it'll happen one day" [2].
there was no authorial intent to have this story be released as a short story. and, while these two comments don't add much on their own - with everything else, and the fact that Harness literally called the extract a "discarded first page of a novelisation" it proves that releasing a licensed story was not his intent.
it was a spur of the moment thing when he saw how interested people were in the idea. no planning, no teasing / hype, no licensing.
