Wow, thanks for the replies guys! I wasn't expecting the thread to be this active. I rather like the idea of a special box set in the same mold as Sixie's Last Adventure, with each story focusing on a particular era of Ace's life: her teens post- Dragonfire, early twenties with Hex, later twenties with Benny (perhaps detailing her departure), and lastly a story set in the relative present on Gallifrey focusing on the Time War. The first three episodes could be linked via narration by Ace on Gallifrey, a framing device also used in I, Davros, to help establish their relevance in the overall story arc. Elements from each story may then play an important part in the final act, all the while gaining greater insight into her character and her relationship with the Doctor. Another benefit of this format, I just realized, is that four major branches of continuity can be brought together under the same "umbrrrella" (sorry 'bout that ):the Classic TV series, Big Finish audio, the Virgin books, and the new TV series respectively. And by bringing in the Time War, which RTD said is precipitated by the Doctor's destruction of Skaro in Remembrance of the Daleks, it means Ace would have to deal with, in some degree, the repercussions of her time with the Doctor. Incidentally, it would be interesting to see if she'll ever meet the Eighth Doctor at some point. That should make for a fascinating encounter. I'll stop rambling now. Actually never mind. I've changed my answer. I'd be happy with this. Something that celebrates the multiple continuities rather than ignoring them.
