Josiah Rowe wrote: Just as a point of complication: although most of the Unbound stories can be conceived of as "alternative realities" for the character of the Doctor, in the style of Marvel's old What If? comic, Deadline is... an entirely different beast. It's an examination of creativity and mortality that uses Doctor Who as a springboard. It doesn't operate in terms of "universes" at all. Asking whether Deadline is part of the "Doctor Who universe" is like asking whether the play Shadowlands is part of the "Narnia universe", or whether A Midsummer Night's Dream is part of the "Pyramus and Thisbe universe". Deadline is just a play that takes the narrative and iconography of Doctor Who as part of its source material. It takes the "what if?" question in a completely different sense than the other "Unbound" stories do. So we would consider Deadline separately from the others?

Incidentally, are you in favor of the proposal outlined in the first post?
