User:SOTO/Forum Archive/Inclusion debates/@comment-45314928-20200606025128/@comment-6032121-20200606141535 I think the phrasing "it had nothing to do with Lockdown!" is still blatantly false. It had the Lockdown! hashtag and was obviously following from Harness's statements about the unproduced TV story during the Tweetalong proper. It's got everything to do with Lockdown!.

At a stretch, you can pursue the argument that Peter Harness "unlawfully" made it part of Lockdown!; that it's part of Lockdown! fraudulently and he "shouldn't" have released it so long after his tweetalong window had ended. But it's certainly not completely disconnected from #TruthOrConsequences, I mean c'mon.

As for "no short story exists", I'm getting strong "there are no such things as Macra" vibes here. Something in fully-written-out prose was released by Harness. I read it and created a page about the ruddy thing. Maybe it was a standalone work, maybe it was a "deleted scene", but if Friend from the Future and Spider Dalek are (invalid) releases separate from The Pilot and Doctor Who, then the same goes for this. Whether that something breaks Rule 2 as fanfic is another matter, of course. But it exists.

No, @User:Thefartydoctor, we are from all agreeing, at what point did I give the impression that I agreed with this?
