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.

The Chronosmith Chronicles[]
The Chronosmith Chronicles is a Science fiction prose series overseen by Paul Driscoll and Kara Dennison.
Driscoll had previously contributed to the 2016 charity anthology Seasons of War: Tales from a Time War by Declan May. The final story of this anthology, The Horde of Travesties, was written by May and introduced a group known as the Chronosmiths. Following the anthology's release Driscoll and Dennison founded Altrix Books and released the charity novel Seasons of War: Gallifrey, with involvement from May, which featured the Chronosmiths. For this novel Driscoll and Dennison each created two characters: Mordicai and Tor Fasa, and Savalia and Kendo, respectively.
These four original characters were later featured in Driscoll and Dennison's The Chronosmith Chronicles with two stories, After Vincent and Elanor's Tears, having been released by 2020.
