That's where we differ. I think that spinoffs of spinoffs of spinoffs should only be covered if they are demonstrably, by design set in DWU. So when Iris watches Dr. Who on TV, I grudgingly accept it as timey-wimeyness. When the main character never interacted with the Doctor and lives in Wellsian continuity, and his only connection to DWU is Iris, whose life, you have to admit, is not really fully within DWU, well... At this point I want the author to explain to me how it all fit in.

It is exactly because I realised current rules allow for spinoffs of spinoffs of spinoffs of spinoffs... to still count as full-blooded DWU that I started participating in this thread.
