Charity publication

Charity publications are unofficial releases which are published for the benefit of non-profit organisations or charities featuring characters or concepts from Doctor Who. Contributors have ranged from fully amateur writers and artists up to Doctor Who scriptwriters, novelists and even cast members. They are not licensed by the BBC or most of the respective copyright holders, have usually been available for only limited periods in small print runs, and therefore cannot be considered a legal part of the Doctor Who franchise. Because of this, an admin decision was made in 2011 to not cover these publications in full on this Wiki.
