This sounds to me as the very antithesis of writing within DWU. Plus, based on NateBumber's explanations, he likes to play with intertextual/metatextual levels, which is a lot of fun to discuss in an "Introduction into Writing about Literature" I'm sure, but hard to fit into universe building and documenting. As evidenced in the title of a book I found and mentioned on one of the inclusion threads, "The Diary of a Dr. Who Addict", DWU is a literary fiction in Magrs's continuity, again not really indicative of intending to write within DWU. Except in Iris's home universe, the Obverse, Doctor Who is a TV series. Plus, all of Magrs's works are metafictional.
