The metafictional thing
She's not always metaficitonal. Certainly she's not in either Excelis Dawns or The Wormery, the two adventures she has in a "proper" Doctor Who adventure. I'll grant she kind of is within her own stories, but not even all of them. She's not aware of her metafictional nature in The Panda Invasion, for instance. We might think that the jokes are metafictional, asthe audience, because the script recalls moments from DW's past, but she herself never comments upon her own nature like that. It's played completely straight, allowing the listener to decide. There's a difference between in-jokes and metafiction. I think the article needs to cite specific instances, and to mention the fact that there are a number of appearances which do not portray her as actively aware of the similarities between her adventures and those of the Doctor.
