A story which text is largely, if not solely, composed of multiple contemporary in-story documents to form the narrative. All the narrator has done is put the supposedly pre-existing documents in order. This style of writing used to be commonplace, because of its inbuilt explanation of how the narrator knows so much, but had been largely superseded by the Victorian period. However, it is still sometimes used. Outside of traditional literature, the format is still especially common in Tabletop Games, where "streets-eye view" vignettes and supplemental materials are meant as player aids for understanding the setting and its inhabitants. The Epistolary Novel, which consists of letters sent by the characters to each other, is a subtrope of this. Both tropes provide an in-story justification for a Switching P.O.V.. The author of such a work may be credited as the "editor" or "compiler". Games with Story Breadcrumbs often invoke this. Compare Literary Agent Hypothesis, Rockumentary, and Apocalyptic Log. As seen in the quote above, Found Footage Films is the audiovisual equivalent. |

Rant: An Oral Biography of Buster Casey by Chuck Palahniuk consists entirely of fake interviews (one of the last chapters includes material from a few actual people, and also a completely unexpected Shout-Out to Fight Club). For added verisimilitude, it's implied at one point that the events of the book might alter the timeline so that the universe becomes the "real world" and the book becomes a work of fiction. It's also loosely implied that the book itself was written by that world's Chuck Palahniuk (nighttimer). | |

The Wilkie Collins novel The Moonstone (widely held to be one of the first detective novels) is a compilation of letters, journals, and testimonies of many different people. Justified in that the novel focuses on the investigation of a theft, and in the interests of setting the record straight, one of the main characters decides to gather up all the accounts of the event. | |

Tolkien may have intended The Silmarillion to end up this way, since most of the texts that went into it go beyond Literary Agent Hypothesis by having their own in-universe authors, being written in different styles and levels of detail, and sometimes being written at specific times and places. However, since he didn't come close to finishing, it had to be patched together posthumously in a way that destroyed the effect. | |

Doctor Who Expanded Universe short stories sometimes take this form. "Policy to Invade" by Ian Mond, in the collection Short Trips: Transmissions takes the form of a government report on a planetary invasion company, including interview transcripts and copies of internal documentation. Putting it all together leads the reader to a conclusion about what really happened that the report itself refuses to even consider. A particularly weird example is the story "Thief of Sherwood" by Jonathan Morris in Short Trips: Past Tense, which tells the story of the First Doctor's encounter with Robin Hood ... via Radio Times listings, Doctor Who Magazine articles, and entries from various Universe Compendiums and Concordances for an entirely fictional six-part serial broadcast between "The Reign of Terror" and "Planet of Giants". And the cast list turns out to be part of the book's Story Arc! The Doctor: His Lives and Times by Steve Tribe and James Goss, a 50th anniversary Universe Compendium which tells the history of the series mostly as an In-Universe biography via Fictional Documents such as companion journals, villainous rants, interview transcripts, confused news media and internal documentation of the organisations the Doctor has helped or stopped. All presented as full colour facsimiles, creating the effect of a literal scrapbook. Follow up books in the same format were The Secret Lives of Monsters and The Time Lord Letters, both by Justin Richards. |

Most of the background exposition in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is delivered through the quotes from characters that are attached to every base facility, secret project, and technology in the game.

The Abadazad series has been released in small graphic novels, each an enchanted diarylog in which she details her adventures to this point. The "enchanted" part comes to play when the book records things she wasn't around for, as well as turning from text to pictures and back, and bringing in full pages of the "original" Abadazad books whenever someone reads or refers to them. | |

The Slender Man Mythos as a whole is entirely based around these, with its traditional works all being vlogs and blogs maintained by fictional characters. They quite often end up finding more documents which they share. Justified in a way due to the fact that, in some continuities, those involved in the strange events involving the Slender Man are inexplicably compelled to record their thoughts through records or art of some form, presumably to spread his influence. | |

A handful of characters are actually still alive in both games, but the entire backstory of the fall of Rapture and other subplots in Bioshock can only be found by listening to the audio logs. You don't necessarily need to listen to every audio log (only some contain in-game hints like lock combinations), but skipping them would really be depriving yourself because the novel-quality story is half the fun. | |

The Big Finish Doctor Who Companion Chronicles story "Tales from the Vault" has a Framing Story of a U.N.I.T. officer showing a newbie around U.N.I.T.'s Museum of the Strange and Unusual. Captain Matheson plays recordings that describe the history of some of the objects, including a report on cassette by Jo Grant, an audio file of Matheson interviewing Romana, an alien memory crystal that recorded Zoe's personality, and a century old phonograph recording of a warning by Steven Taylor. The final story leads back to the first one, and the Framing Story ties in the other two as well. | |

The Chrono Crusade Fan Fiction Comic Book Heroes, which takes the idea that Joshua is mentally damaged and stuck with the mind of a child at the end of the anime and turns it on its head by having him become a comic book writer as an adult. The story is told through excerpts of interviews with his children, reviews of movies based on his work, letters and journal entries written by Joshua and his friends, and an essay discussing the portrayal of female characters in his work—all fictional, of course. | |

Where'd You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple is mainly told through emails or letters to and from various characters, but also includes things like a transcript of a character's TED Talk, press releases, and a blog post from a local weatherman. The premise is that Bee, the teenage daughter of the title character, gained access to all these documents and is piecing them together into a book in order to shed some light on her mother's mysterious disappearance. Occasionally, Bee herself will step in to fill in gaps between the documents or give her own counterpoint on something a character said in their writings. | |

It is a collage of various story-telling methods and Capek employed and spoofed techniques of popular journalism.

"The Riddle of Castle Cain" in The Making of Jonathan Creek. It opens with a single page in comic book format, in which Jonathan and Maddy are asked to investigate a decades-old murder. The rest of the story, scattered throughout the book, is told in the form of the various documents Jonathan has peiced together; lab reports, press cuttings and so on. Finally there's a two panel comic in which Jonathan announces he's solved the case (but not what the solution is, because the story was written as a readers' competition). | |

The third volume of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, titled "The Black Dossier," is two interwoven stories: the contents of the Black Dossier itself, a Scrapbook Story about the history of the league from its founding under Prospero to the events of volume 1 and 2 and its subsequent dissolution; and a frame story about Mina and Alan stealing the dossier and reading it. The book changes from one to the other when Mina opens or closes the book in-story. To further muddy the waters, the book's cover, under the dust jacket, is exactly like the one on the in-story book, and the various scraps have marginal notes scribbled in blue pen by the dossier's compiler addressed to the current head of British Intelligence services. The actual scraps are pastiches of comic strips, erotica, text pieces, a "lost" William Shakespeare folio, a mashup of Bertie Wooster and H. P. Lovecraft, and a stuck-in Tijuana Bible made for proles by PORNSEC under the INGSOC regime. | |

Warhammer novels: Xenology is essentially a collection of journal entries by a puritanical Inquisitor investigating a site where a radical Inquisitor was conducting studies on various aliens. Also included are journal entries from the resident Magos Biologis, as well as various documents, audio records, and observations complied by both Inquisitors. Games Workshop's Liber Chaotica and The Loathsome Ratmen And All Their Foul Kin: The latter was previously introduced in the Gotrek & Felix series, and the handwritten notes added into the Real Life version suggest that it's based on the very copy that appears in the novel. The Ciaphas Cain (HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!) series is presented as a compilation of Cain's actual memoirs published by Inquisitor Vail, with excerpts from other books (like Sulla's autobiography) added in to clarify points Cain left out (such as things that weren't specifically happening to him). |

The novel Dolores Claiborne is mostly a "transcript" of a confession Dolores gives to the poice. There are also two newspaper excerpts at the end. An excerpt from The Boston Globe about an anonymous donation from Dolores Claiborne, out of Vera Donovan's will of $30 million to the The New England Home for Little Wanderers orphanage, and that the 'guardian angel' who sent it is completely serious about their anonymity. From The Weekly Tide, a section called "Notes from Little Tall". It informs us that Dolores is free and expecting a visit from her son Joe Jr and Selena (for the first time in twenty years). |

An early computer game example is Portal (no, not that one — this one was published in 1986), where the gameplay consists of searching for snippets of information in order to discover why the entire human race seems to have disappeared. | |

DC Heroes: The Watchmen Sourcebook, taking inspiration from the comic itself that had this sort of material in the interludes between the comic book chapters, is entirely composed of in-universe journals, newspaper clipings, encyclopedia articles, interviews, reports, and other in-universe documents about the characters. Only the character sheets themselves break the illusion by the necessity of presenting the character's statistics in DC Heroes RPG terms. | |

The Ciaphas Cain (HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!) series is presented as a compilation of Cain's actual memoirs published by Inquisitor Vail, with excerpts from other books (like Sulla's autobiography) added in to clarify points Cain left out (such as things that weren't specifically happening to him). | |

Dear Mr. Henshaw: The book starts as an Epistolary Novel, featuring the letters written from Leigh Botts to Boyd Henshaw, but later switches to Leigh's diary for most of the second half of the book. During this time, he still periodically writes real letters to Henshaw for advice on writing, but they're few and far between. Done to an extent with the sequel Strider too, which is entirely a series of diary entries from Leigh rather than switching between letters and diary entries. | |

Candle Cove is an internet Creepypasta about the titular half-remembered children's show told via a forum discussion where the posters talk about about various things they remembered about it, while confirming each others stories in the process and uncovering a more sinister aspect to it as well. | |

Brian Griffin from Family Guy planned an in-universe example in his head: "It's about a guy who loses everything, but finds his soul...in Canada. And the whole thing...is an email...to his daughter...who's dead." | |

Most of Marble Hornets is footage found on a bunch of tapes the main character got from his friend before said friend disappeared. Eventually he starts shooting his own footage and uploading that. The Slender Man Mythos as a whole is entirely based around these, with its traditional works all being vlogs and blogs maintained by fictional characters. They quite often end up finding more documents which they share. Justified in a way due to the fact that, in some continuities, those involved in the strange events involving the Slender Man are inexplicably compelled to record their thoughts through records or art of some form, presumably to spread his influence. |

Within the Wires is formatted as cassette tapes recorded in an Alternate Universe where WWI led to an Orwellian One World Order. Season One comprises a series of therapy tapes for a patient at "The Institute" in which the narrator communicates her escape plans to the listener. Season Two is art museum tour guide tapes concerning the works of a controversial artist. Season Three consists of voice memos from a high-ranking bureaucrat to his secretary during the early years of the Society, before it went too horribly wrong. |
