Let us talk about the status of the website http://www.jameswylder.com/. Mr. Wylder has recently added a legal notice to clarify its status. This is certainly a step in the right direction. Professional websites used for commercial purposes should certainly carry such notices. Most probably, the notice has been added as the result of this debate. But this notice was definitely not there as recently as in July 2019, which can be easily verified using the Wayback Machine by hovering the cursor over the "About James" element of the menu, where the legal notice has recently been added. Neither at the time of the stories were posted on the website nor at the time their pages were created (December 2018 and March 2019) was it possible to ascertain the legal status of the website as an official website of Arcbeatle Press.

Granted, I would have preferred the legal status of this website as the official website of Arcbeatle Press to be a little more obvious, for instance, stated on the front page. But this is certainly a prerogative of the publisher to decide how to treat their legal notices.

Incidentally, Liria10 who showed such knowledge about the legal status of the website really does have an inside knowledge. What she did not mention after popping in to support the inclusion is that she drew the beautiful cover for the planned book with these three stories. (Unless someone is trying to impersonate her for nefarious purposes) her Twitter account and her other webpages  identify her as Anne-Laure Tuduri. This is yet another creative person behind 10,000 Dawns advocating for including their creations into Tardis wiki, but, unlike Mr. Wylder, without disclosing their involvement in the production. Welcome to the wiki, Ms. Tuduri. As a minor plug, let me quote James Wylder, "Isn’t Anne-Laure Tuduri amazing? She’s just an incredible talent."

I was initially puzzled by Revanvolatrelundar's post above about a release of a "new" anthology, which I initially took to mean that the long awaited book release was expedited. Having found no book sold at Amazon, I realised that this is just another pdf posted to James Wylder's blog (though with Ms. Tuduri's cover). Now I finally understand. Most probably, first the website (inclusive the blog) was officially designated as the official website of Arcbeatle Press and only then the pdf was posted there. (Note also that, unlike the pdf originally posted in 2017, this one clearly stipulates this pdf to be a publication of Arcbeatle Press.)

In view of this development, I propose to consider 29 August 2019, the post date of this new pdf anthology, to be the official release date of these stories by Arcbeatle Press and switch to discussing their inclusion to the wiki based on this latest pdf.
