 * If Trisha Tomorrow was created by Paul Magrs for Horror of Glam Rock, an audio story published by BF under DW license, and then she appeared in Enter Wildthyme, this is grounds for including Enter Wildthyme as a valid story (among other reasons).
 * If Vince Cosmos was created by Magrs for Enter Wildthyme, not published under DW license, then the appearance of Vince Cosmos in Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective alone is not grounds for including this story as valid. In this case, one needs to argue that the story shares enough elements and commonalities with DWU to be included and a serious debate is required.

If anything, I think this is easily set-up within precedent. See Zygon and its unlicensed prequel, Cyberon. Or don't see, rather, because we don't cover it.

Was that really what that debate was about? Man I really missed out on bringing that up then. I never realized that Iris was one of those "sorta licensed spin-offs." If this is the case, I strongly do not support Pet Rock being valid.
