Just as Lauren Anderson first appeared in Cyberon, the main human character in this story is from a previous novel called "The Diary of a Dr Who Addict". Just as ""When Being You Just Isn't Enough" can be watched without any knowledge of "Cyberon", "Imaginary Boys" can be listened to without any knowledge of "Diary of a Dr Who Addict", in fact I wouldn't have known that this character appeared in one of Magrs' previous works if not for this discussion.

My point is, this story should be validated by itself regardless of previous works connected to it - just as we do with "When Being You Isn't Enough" or "Enter Wildthyme". In that case, I totally agree. I would imagine that Diary of a Dr Who Addict would not be valid, but IB would be.
