Complete chronology of Trek literature?

[MarkJones73]

Forgive me if this question has been asked (or answered) before...

I've seen various attempts to compile the written works of Doctor Who (novels, short stories and comics) into a complete chronological timeline alongside the television series. The most detailed attempt seems to be the website "Doctor Who - The Complete Adventures" which incorporates everything possible into one timeline of events.

My question - has the same been done with Trek? Simply and straightforwardly placing every novel, short story and comic into a single timeline alongside the TV shows? It would obviously be quite an extensive exercise, but surely could be done if someone hasn't attempted it already...?

There is the Pocket Novel Timeline in the back of Voyages of the Imagination, which does pretty much that, listing all the books and short stories up to that point (though not most of the comics) in what their most likely chronological placements would be if they had occurred. Although it did not purport to assert that they all did occur in the same continuity, since there's no way that could be the case what with all the alternative, contradictory versions there have been over the decades.

I am planning on doing this someday, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. You can see everything I have done at my Star Trek Litverse Reading Guide.

Ryan 123450, I've gone to your site a few times over the last few weeks, and I wasn't quite sure which of the two different blue texts were "bright blue" and which were "light blue"? I see that they are clearly two different shades of blue, I just wasn't sure which was which.

 

[ryan123450]

Yes now that you mention it, that isn't particularly clear. I should change that from "bright" to "dark". Not sure why I ever phrased it that way to begin with.

 

[JD]

So is darker blue the stuff you categorized as the core stories then?

 

[ryan123450]

Yes. I'm gonna get that changed as soon as I get a chance.
