Nothing in the series suggests or even states a connection to the DWU. If Vince Cosmos is all you've got, this debate's going nowhere. Why are you people crusading about this?

Let me break something down for you:

Paul Magrs's works exist in a multiverse - the same multiverse that is the DWU. Characters and ideas crisscross from one series to another. Iris Wildthyme debuted in the Phoenix Court trilogy, then popped up in Doctor Who. Then she got her own series, which spawned spinoffs of its own.

Pretty much every story Paul Magrs writes references other stories, or even has shared villains. It's impossible to completely draw a line in the sand as to what's part of the DWU and what isn't. You've accused authors of being biased and thus not being reliable for saying their own work is in the DWU. You've accused them of circumventing rules on a wiki they may never have visited. You're coming into inclusion debates and claiming that because of your personal standards of what's valid and what isn't, a series isn't valid. A series that you have no desire to read or listen to.
