They're both invalid sources because the authors have explicitly stated they're not meant to be "canon" though. We're all stating the opposite. And certainly elements from FP stories have been used in Big Finish stories (Diogenes Damsel and the recentish BF Osirians story both explicitly reference things from FP stories).

As far as I'm concerned, there's no difference at all in type (as opposed to style, genre, and so on) between a Bernice Summerfield story, an Iris Wildthyme one, and a Faction Paradox story, and I think that's true for everyone else I know who has worked on any of those series.

If it helps clarify intent (though *obviously* this is not a valid source in any way) I've been meaning for about two years to pitch a Bernice Summerfield story to BF. That story would feature at least two characters from my FP works.

I want them to be valid... as they are. But I guess it's ultimately up to the admins pal.
