In-universe but non-narrative fiction, as discussed at [[Thread:282038]]. I hope that, upon the return of the forums, this will help us determine what might be newly considered valid. Some things might need individual consideration.
 
Although this is my own sandbox, feel free to help complete the list or rectify any errors. I do not own many of these books/sources and have had to gather information from their wiki pages, previews, summaries, reviews, and online listings, so there may be mistakes.
 
I have listed the following categories:
* '''Presented as in-universe material''', where the material is portrayed as actually existing within the [[DWU]];
* '''In-universe perspective''', where there is an omniscient "narrator" stating things as fact, but not an actual narrative;
* '''In-universe perspective but cites sources''', same as above but facts are attributed to the story they originate from;
* '''Unsure''', where either the interpretation as to which above category the material should belong to is contentious, or where I know the material exists but have not yet seen enough of it to discern which category it belongs in.
 
Additional note: Some "features", as labelled in the annuals, are actually narrative, and so are not listed here. (e.g. ''[[Problem of the Painted Planet (short story)|Problem of the Painted Planet]]'')

The way to handle this in the first place [[Talk:The Doctor: His Lives and Times|needs further discussion]].)
* ''[[The Secret Lives of Monsters (reference book)|The Secret Lives of Monsters]]'' (possibly narrative?)
* ''[[TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual]]'' (arguably narrative)
* ''[[The Monster Vault]]'' (presented by the Doctor as info from the TARDIS data banks, only real world info is a header for each monster saying their creator and appearances)

=== ''Doctor Who'' Annuals ===
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* ''[[Doctor Who Annual 1968]]''
** ''[[Test from Tardis]]'' (A strange case— it's a crossword puzzle, but it says the Doctor created it for himself and the companions, and includes in-universe clues, not unlike the puzzles in contemporary annuals... I'm at least listing it.)
** ''[[Back to the Tardis]]'' (same case)
* ''[[Doctor Who Annual 1970]]''
** ''[[Dr. Who's Crossword]]'' (same case)
* ''[[Doctor Who Annual 1976]]''
** ''[[Spaceword]]'' (same case)

* ''[[Doctor Who The Official Annual 2016]]''
** ''[[Friends vs Foes (game)|Friends vs Foes]]'' (yet another word game the Doctor created!)
** ''[[Fantastic Friends]]'' (something Clara wrote. Possibly narrative?)

** ''[[The Twelfth Doctor's Best Bits (feature)|The Twelfth Doctor's Best Bits]]''
* ''[[Doctor Who The Official Annual 2020]]''
** ''[[Time Lord Matrix (game)|Time Lord Matrix]]'' (Another crossword, supposed to be part of [[the Matrix]].)
** [[Untitled (DWAN 2020 feature)|Untitled]] (forms a narrative with the other stories in the annual, but isn't really on its own.)
* ''[[Doctor Who The Official Annual 2021]]''

* ''[[The Making of Doctor Who]]'' (Partially, at least the first edition. Probably narrative anyway. I'm fairly certain if the latter half of this book was published standalone, it would be valid. And we'd have to say the Doctor's real name is [[∂³Σx²]].)
** Note: I just discovered it actually adds on to them, in particular ''[[The Dalek Dictionary]]''... also has an introduction and "interview" with [[Terry Nation]], but he and the interviewer speak as if they live in the DWU (e.g. Nation found and translated texts from Skaro, "our galaxy", "you may meet a Dalek", etc.)

Latest revision as of 19:51, 17 September 2023

In-universe but non-narrative fiction, as discussed at Thread:282038. I hope that, upon the return of the forums, this will help us determine what might be newly considered valid. Some things might need individual consideration.

Although this is my own sandbox, feel free to help complete the list or rectify any errors. I do not own many of these books/sources and have had to gather information from their wiki pages, previews, summaries, reviews, and online listings, so there may be mistakes.

I have listed the following categories:

  • Presented as in-universe material, where the material is portrayed as actually existing within the DWU;
  • In-universe perspective, where there is an omniscient "narrator" stating things as fact, but not an actual narrative;
  • In-universe perspective but cites sources, same as above but facts are attributed to the story they originate from;
  • Unsure, where either the interpretation as to which above category the material should belong to is contentious, or where I know the material exists but have not yet seen enough of it to discern which category it belongs in.

Additional note: Some "features", as labelled in the annuals, are actually narrative, and so are not listed here. (e.g. Problem of the Painted Planet)
