Yep that was a site I followed as well, and was dissapointed it kinda died. That kinda led to my idea to create a site, even though it will be formatted totally differently. Hey Deranged Nasat what makes The Nanotech War connected to the Lit-verse?
That's actually one of the novels that doesn't tie in as such, but fits perfectly fine anyway. So it's a "might as well throw it in" entry.
It's an interesting story, but I'm not so sure it does quite fit in. I've only read it once so far, but I seem to recall it asserting that the Federation had some pretty sweeping laws against nanotechnology, which doesn't seem consistent with the use of medical nanites in TNG: "Evolution" and the like.
I only read it once too, some time ago, so I might well have overlooked something when recalling it now - particularly if it was more a generalized concept of nanotech's use that doesn't add up, rather than a more striking overt contradiction. I'll defer to anyone who has more familiarity on this one. Hmmm, I suppose it depends on how flexible or "forgiving" I'm being - it might still be a "squint and it can work" entry, depending on how strong or striking the difference between the novel's idea of Federation nanotech and other sources' is.
Well that's more of a canon violation than a discontinuity with the Lit-verse. Of course canon violations should by definition be Lit-verse discontinuities as well, I suppose.
Here's where I jump in with my "why disqualify novels for stuff like that when incompatible episodes like "True Q"/"The Q and the Gray" and "Balance of Terror"/"Minefield" are still part of the same TV continuity?" speech. Carry on.
Still a work in progrress but I've tried to pick up the pace. There will be a list for each series. Each entry will have notes when you hovor over it. The list is color coated as to importance to the overall storyline. This is just a glimpse of one of the smallest pages and there will be other features so don't think it's just simple and easy like this one page. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/ryan123450/screenshot.png Really looking forward to sharing this with everyone and being able to supply it to the newcomers with questions that pop up so often.
Looks good so far. But can we get a list of all the book in the timeline order as well if that's not planned/ I hope that is planned.
Just out of curiosity, are you going to break things up like VotI did or just list them based on the main parts of the books?
Unlike VotI, I decided to just list the books as a whole, instead of break them up into a bunch of pieces, creating a (IMO) nearly incomprehensible tangle of entries. There's something to be said for both methods, but in the end it was more fun for me to start from scratch with the easier method than copy and then add to a pre-existing framework. I've not combined all the lists together yet and I'm still working on the individual ones. So I don't have anything in a form that I'd like to post yet. Right now I'm going over all the comics and adding what's relevant. I look forward to when I have something more to share.
When you do your lists, can we get lists without comics and just books as well as both and then comics separate?
So I've been developing this list of important or good (subjective, I know) Trek literature (books and comics, with references to the different TV series) by coming up with 32 different historical/series eras to put Trek literature into. It's based primarily on the Memory Beta Chronology. It's still a rough draft, so there are quite a few mistakes, and I know it doesn't exactly fit the bill of what you were asking, but you did want something comprehensive! Hope this helps. 1.

Thrawn, any chance you were able to compile your list? The other lists here have helped but I'm still looking for one that takes the Charting the Novel-verse books and puts them into chronological order. Odo's list is good but segments into different series. I'm trying to get a hold of the entire "novel-verse" and where they all fit (Vanguard, Starfleet Academy, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Titan, New Frontier, S.C.E., etc.). I know it's not necessary to enjoy these books and I've already read many of them. I'm just a bit of a collector and would like to get a complete set to go on my bookshelf. I love the fact that I'll have all these stories that reference each other even if in a small, insignificant way. Then as I'm reading different novels that might mention something or someone from one of the other books I can run onto here. I can ask where this person or situation is from. Once I get the answer from many of you walking Treklopedias I can walk to my bookshelf and find the specific "referenced" book. That doesn't sound too anal does it... does it?!
You can skip The Left Hand of Destiny Why would someone want to skip The Left Hans of Destiny Duology, They were excellent books and happened within the relative time frame.
