More importantly, his problems are not a reason for flooding this wiki with stuff unrelated to Doctor Who. What is this? I really really don't like what you're apparently insinuating here. Being banned from here doesn't necessarily mean someone has time to create a "reasonable Wiki". (Per the precedent of people complaining about attacks on admins without any admins actually being offended, I invoke the personal attacks rule.) Not to mention that you're completely missing the point: the Obverse doesn't make sense outside the context of the Doctor Who universe to which it is attached.

You said it yourself: "I personally believe that we should just include the lot as a whole, since his "different series" are interconnected enough to just be one long story." It may well be interconnected but its relationship to DWU on the whole seems, at first site, very tangential, closer than in the case of Moorcock, but not really different. Certainly, not on the scale of FP. If we are to consider Paul Magrs' crossed-over stories to be one continuous series (which are all in the same continuity, in contrast to what you assumed in the absence of any evidence here) (and which I shouldn't have said included all of his works, since many of his works are completely stand-alone from the others), the list of connections to Doctor Who and other valid spinoffs would be quadruple the list for Faction Paradox. I'm completely serious that I will compile such a list, if you want me too.

Thefartydoctor wrote: Baker's End is obviously written to give Tom Baker a role away from Doctor Who. To my knowledge, his most important role as the Doctor is not even mentioned as a role undertaken by the character of "Tom Baker". Correct me if I'm wrong. Just like the character "Tom Baker" who has already appeared in very very similar roles twice in the Doctor Who universe (here and here), this Tom Baker is said to be an actor who played a major television role for a long time; I don't know why this case would be any different than those. And it's clearly not a very good attempt at "a role away from Doctor Who" if it shares characters with Doctor Who spinoffs!
