Talk:Honeymoon Horrors (short story)

Rename
This page should be called Welcome, traveller, to Sardicktown or A Guide to Sardicktown. The title Honeymoon Horrors from the contents page is for page 22, which has several accounts from Amy/Rory's honeymoon, while this story is on page 20 which is titled A Guide to Sardicktown in the contents.

 * As a matter of fact, this page encompasses both. It's always a devil to draw the lines about which story ends where, with books like this. See also the still-unresolved discussion at Talk:The Doctor: His Lives and Times.


 * In this instance, it seems to me that it makes the most sense to lump in the Welcome, traveller, to Sardicktown facsimile as an illustration/addition to the narrative Honeymoon Horrors, just like the Thrasymachus facsimile. All three pages, the Sardicktown brochure, the Rory & Amy letters, and the Thrasymachus brochure, are printed consecutively. They come across as very much one thing, one set of in-universe documents relating to A Christmas Carol that functiona as a narrative about the circumstances of the Ponds' honeymoon. Granted, the Sardicktown flyer gets its own item in the Table of Contents — but compare, if you will, how some of the "features" in The Dalek Outer Space Book got separate listings in the table of contents of that, but are covered as part of the comic stories to which they connect.


 * Despite the ToC oddity, it just doesn't make sense to me to try to carve out one of these documents as its own feature while covering the other two pages as one story, especially as that would probably entail the material from the Sardicktown flyer being treated as for no good reason.


 * As to the name, though — I suppose there is an argument to cover the three-page lump as Welcome, traveller, to Sardicktown (short story), since that's what appears first. Honeymoon Horrors as given in the ToC, though, seemed to be the closest thing to an overall title for this collection of documents, as opposed to being the title of one particular piece of it. Perhaps the extremely cautious thing to do would be Untitled (TBB2012 short story)…?… That's rather cumbersome, but if there is sentiment in favour of it, we could go with that.

 * I think they should absolutely be separate as they are on the contents page. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  21:47, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
