In-universe but non-narrative fiction, as discussed at [[Thread:282038]]. 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.
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 Making of Doctor Who]]'' (Partially, at least in the first edition? These two sections are probably narrative anyway. I'm fairly certain if this was published standalone, it would be valid. And we'd have to say the Doctor's real name is [[∂³Σx²]].)
 
** ''The Trial of Doctor Who''
<div class="mw-collapsible">
** ''The Travels of Doctor Who'' (I am not sure if these should be considered one story. They are listed separately in the table of contents, but are treated as the same thing.)
=== In-universe websites ===
* ''[[The Monsters]]''
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">

These may need separate consideration as a discussion was already had at [[Thread:121084]].

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)
