Note: Valid source is a story like The Three Doctors or Survival.

And invalid source is a story like The Curse of Fatal Death and Dimensions in Time.

Both of those stories are excluded because they're parodies; we have subzero reason to believe that Faction Paradox falls in that category. Since authorial intent is the last of the four little rules to be resolved, this would mean it's a valid source. Besides, Faction Paradox is already an invalid source. This thread is about why Faction Paradox should be considered valid, and any other discussion is off-topic.

I want it to be valid. Also DIT isn't a parody but that is off topic so I'm not going there. He he.
