The problem is that the Clone Wars episodes aren't in chronological order, so there's no way to do, like, "Season 5" because within Season 5 the order needs to be changed.

^And one can't really list them by story arcs, because the arcs don't have blanket titles.
Yes those were my thoughts as well. It does look a little clunky, and causes the list to look much bigger than it currently really is, but that's just the way it has to be.
If you do watch the CW in chronological order, it does flow pretty well actually. Well worth the effort, which is pretty easy now that the whole show is on Netflix. IMHO TCW was some of the best Star Wars in many, many years.
That novel is not in the current Trek Lit continuity. It was written to be part of the STO continuity.
I can't think of any.
I have been wondering if, say, Aennik Okeg will ever make an appearance in Trek lit, or a Deferi will randomly show up at some point.
It has ties. Dulmur references the events of Before Dishonor and Destiny. The book posits that STO and TrekLit are set in the same multiverse but different timelines.
^It purports to have ties. The novel continuity is under no obligation to acknowledge its premise. Besides, you asked if elements from STO have shown up in the Trek Lit continuity, not if elements of the Trek Lit continuity have shown up in an STO work.
True. I tried to be overcorrect to prevent somebody from assuming I forgot about the book.
Hi Ryan!
I've been using your Simple Kelvin Timeline Reading List, and it's been invaluable. I'd like to suggest a change to make it more internally consistent. The current pre-Into Darkness order goes like this:
Countdown to Darkness #1-4
I, Enterprise, Parts 1 and 2 (#31-32)
(Star Trek: The Video Game)
It's possible that I, Enterprise takes place after the video game as well, but ending on the video game allows at least one of the references to the Nibiru mission to occur immediately before Into Darkness.

Sounds good to me @TalonCard. I'll make the change as soon as I get a chance.
Since this thread got bumped I'll say that I still keep the site updated every month. I'm slowly but surely working on making a new page that has a chronological list of all the Litverse connected books from Enterprise all the way threw the current 2386 stuff.
I have several people who constantly offer their help and great information to keep the site as accurate as possible and I really appreciate any time people do that. The site couldn't exist without others help.
I have so many other Trek projects I want to add to the site, but I need way more free time away from real life to get them done.

I just have a quick question on the placement and reading order for a couple books on the site.
In the TNG section The Light Fantastic is before Takedown, but then in the Simple Post-Nemesis Reading List they're flipped. I was wondering why they were done that way, and if it matters from a character or story arc which order I read them in?

According to my chronology, Takedown occurs between the main body and epilogue of The Light Fantastic, starting shortly after the end of TLF's main story and ending a bit over three months prior to the epilogue.
I'm pretty sure one of the first few post-Destiny novels mentioned a class of Klingon ship I'd never heard of, so I Googled it and it was from Star Trek Online.
Sorry to bring this old thread back up, but I wanted to say I got a custom domain for the website finally after all these years. It's now available at www.startreklitverse.com. The old url still works as well.
I've recently been giving the whole site a once over, slowly making mobile versions of each page, reworking things so as to not have info hidden in hover notes. And I've been using that as an opportunity to check over everything and make a few formatting changes. The site is getting in nicer shape all the time. (Especially thanks to my awesome Patrons).
I noticed today that, by my rough count, there are 980 individual books, comics, and short stories listed on the site now. All of them have reference to or are referenced by some other story, and form the huge continuity web that is the Lit-verse. That is more than one-third of all the Trek stories that have ever been published. Our understanding of exactly what all this entails is alot more complete than when this project originally began with Turtletrekker's Charting the Novelverse thread so many years ago. I'm not sure how many stories were listed in that thread, but I believe it was in the 500 range. So much growth in the Litverse and our understanding of it since then.
Here's to hoping it continues for years to come, regardless of the obstacles on-screen Trek throws at it.

This is amazing! Thank you @ryan123450 for all our work, and to everyone else who has contributed.
Sorry to bring this old thread back to life, but I was thinking people might be interested in periodic updates about what I've been working on over at the site. www.startreklitverse.com. Crazy that it's been my weekend hobby for around a dozen years now. I still keep it up to date each month, keeping track of new book and comic releases, and noting each new link to the wider Lit-verse that I find.
I've been somewhat distracted for many months on various projects related to the Klingon calendar system again. Been working on a logical system for when the Day of Honor is celebrated, and that led me to finally break down and make a spreadsheet that will automatically calculate dates back and forth between Earth dates and Klingon dates. Right now I'm close to getting it in shape for embedding on the site, so users will be able to type in a given Earth date and it will generate the equivalent Klingon date, or vice versa, right on the site automatically. Like the various stardate calculator sites do.
I've had a Patreon for several years, which encourages me to devote time and effort to site improvements, and helps pay for the domain, research material, etc. www.patreon.com/ryan123450. If anyone is interested. Just today I posted the work-in-progress page of the Klingon date calculator to my patrons. A preview before I complete it and post it for the general public.
After that I'll get back to the project I've been slowly working on since last necro-ing this post five years ago; remodeling each page with a mobile friendly version and checking over all the notes. That process shouldn't take too incredibly much longer and then the site will be more in a state I can say I'm really proud of. The site is a slow labor of love for sure. But I still love Treklit so much after like 20 years of reading.
Will probably keep periodically posting major updates here from now on, to keep anyone interested more in the loop.
