unreadable name Wow. It's Cyrillic for Dmitri [last name], fyi. I agree with your condemnation of the early page creations, though.

Some Time Hunter stories are set in the world of the novel 1984, and some Doctor Who stories are set in the world of Lovecraft's assorted mythos. I don't see why this would be any less difficult to reconcile.

Paul Magrs is just a tricky dude, since literally everything he writes (including Doctor Who stories) shares settings, characters, imagery, and species. Many of his Doctor Who stories are actually essential for understanding the "non-Doctor Who" characters that appear within, and vice versa! (It's kinda ridiculous to write about Iris Wildthyme without acknowledging her origin in Phoenix Court.) You'll find that 90% of inclusion debates in the last while have been manifestations of "How do we sort out Paul Magrs?"

(Note that in that quote, with your reading, he separates Vince Cosmos from both "Doctor Who" and "other stuff", which makes me think he's actually just putting emphasis on it due to its upcoming release, and the quote has nothing to do with this debate.)

I personally believe that we should just include the lot as a whole, since his "different series" are interconnected enough to just be one long story. Maybe a single inclusion debate addressing all his work would help simplify matters?
