Timeline

This is a rough summary of when different stories are supposed to occur relative to each other.

I deliberately avoided giving an actual year for any of the stories, but that makes it harder to ensure there is continuity in things like the movies characters watch. So I've decided to give the years numbers, choosing my first popular story as "year 0". When I first started putting this together, I was needing to think about a lot of characters who are at university; so I decided that my "year" starts mid-September.

Notes

Note that this is not the order the stories were written; or a recommended reading order. However, where one story mentions characters who have appeared in another, I'll mention it in case you want to read them in order.

Also, some technology stuff isn't the same between different stories, so they aren't really the same "universe". For example, a few stories involve magic, while others have regression drugs or diseases, which don't exist in the main timeline. But I still try to keep the big picture stuff the same.
