While I support a "(prose series)" dab term, I don't think the proposal to rename Virgin New Adventures as New Adventures (prose series) or anything like that is in any way a good idea. Yes, that's technically not what they're called, but everyone calls them the VNAs, including, I'm sure, a lot of licensed reference material like Doctor Who Magazine. There is a precedent for going with the retrospectively-agreed-upon title rather than time of release when it comes to series: The Dalek Chronicles was only ever called that in retrospect, none of the actual comics ever bore that name as their logo (the series was actually known as The Daleks, but you can plainly see why fandom generated a more distinctive name than that).
