User:SOTO/Forum Archive/Inclusion debates/@comment-1506468-20190827123101/@comment-26845762-20190827145601 To be clear, 10,000 Dawns has shared several elements with "Doctor Who proper". The Dawns story "White Canvas" included not only licensed elements from Simon Bucher-Jones' Virgin New Adventures and Short Trips stories, but also (with Lance Parkin's permission) the Doctor's own daughter and a location originally created for a Dr Who 35th anniversary story.

It's been clearly documented that the author intended these three stories to be set in the DWU. One struggles to imagine any other reason someone would seek the permission to use a random planet that appeared once in the third act of a now-obscure Bernice Summerfield novel, would seek the right to use all the various DW-related elements they did!

And, concerning medium. These stories have all been officially released, and they have in fact also been released in PDFs (The first with a PDF all to itself, and the latter 2 in a big PDF along with other, non-DWU stories). And, and I'm not sure how Tardis:Spoiler policy applies here so I'll keep it speculative and purely a matter of showing the publisher's credibility: it is by now standard procedure in the Dawns series that stories released online are later republished in a collected print edition.

...I don't think these things tend to work in votes.
