As Bwburke94 implied in the previous comment, T:VALID as I understand it does not ask for a story to be published commercially. A story must be commercially licensed and officially released but not commercially released. A commercial licence is definitely involved from the evidence that has been presented and it has already been established that the official release date is that set by the publisher. There are probably hundreds of stories that have been released for free currently valid on this wiki, being free does not preclude its inclusion here.

May I clarify if your position on The Book Club Collection has changed since you made the below comment so we are all on the same page? "In view of this development, I propose to consider 29 August 2019, the post date of this new pdf anthology, to be the official release date of these stories by Arcbeatle Press and switch to discussing their inclusion to the wiki based on this latest pdf."
