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.
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)
Presented as in-universe material
Annuals
- 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 Annual 1977
- Maze of Mystery (similar case, an in-universe artifact that serves as a puzzle)
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2016
- Friends vs Foes (yet another word game the Doctor created!)
- Fantastic Friends (something Clara wrote. Possibly narrative?)
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2018
- Rooms to Rent! (might fail rule 4)
- The Twelfth Doctor's Best Bits
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2020
- Time Lord Matrix (Another crossword, supposed to be part of the Matrix.
- Untitled (forms a narrative with the other stories in the annual, but isn't really on its own.)
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2021
Dalek Books
- The Dalek Book
- The Dalekode (this is almost certainly not in-universe but I'm including it just in case)
- The Dalek War Machines
- The Dalography of Skaro
- The Dalek Dictionary
- The Dalek World
- The Dalek Outer Space Book
- Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 1976
- Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 1977

- The Dark Side of Skaro
- Identification Parade
- Timepassers
- The Time Computer (?)
- Anti-Dalek Force Aptitude Tests
- The Calorian Stone
- Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 1978 (some of these are rather unclear whether they are in-universe material or perspective, but I'm keeping them here for now.)
- Terry Nation's Dalek Annual 1979
- Terry Nation's Dalek Special
- Inside a Dalek
- Illustration of Skaro
- The Dalek Pocketbook and Space Travellers Guide (reprints above features from Dalek annuals)
- 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.)
Other
- 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
- 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.)
- The Monsters
- Doctor Who: Cybermen
- Archive: A History of the Cyber Race (probably narrative)
- Dalek Survival Guide (also reprints features from Dalek annuals)

In-universe perspective
- The Doctor Who Monster Book
- The Second Doctor Who Monster Book

- The Zooniverse
- A Day in the Life... (possibly breaks Rule 4)
- Doctor Who The Official Annual 2019
- This one's pretty unusual and I'm not sure it should be handled. Narratives, features, and games are all mixed up combined and there are hints of fourth-wall breaks. So... TBD.

- The Amazing World of Doctor Who (There are many informational features, and some mention the show while some don't. While the ones that don't could ostensibly be in-universe, the writing style (e.g. "when we first encountered the enigmatic character of the Doctor") which is still consistent leads me to believe they're not intended to be fiction.)
