The existence of the winter solstice is a great thing in principle because misery really is easier to bear when you know for a fact that it won't last forever, but the fact that it's on a precise timetable makes it weird. Knowing that it's going to keep on getting steadily worse for exactly nine days and fourteen hours and not a moment longer creates some strange behavioural incentives, is what I mean to say.

So I made a resource for TNG-era fanfic writers and/or people who didn’t see them in release order: A chronology showing when the seasons and movies are set relative to one another.
Tumblr media
Notes: I’ve listed the Voyager finale “Endgame” as being set in 2378, even though the Stardate would put it in 2377, because that’s what Memory Alpha does. There’s some behind-the scenes dispute dispute about whether Lower Decks season 2 is set in 2380 or 2381, but I opted for the latter because the stardates imply it, and also because there’s a New Year’s Eve Party for 2381 in Rutherford’s memories in “First First Contact.” I’ve even shown Picard season 3 as being set in the same year as the framing story for Picard season 2, even though this makes literally no sense.

This timeline might give you a decent idea of how long certain things took to develop in human history. We've had plenty of askers that might find this one useful :)

By the Book | A Sherlock Holmes publication timeline
Note: Numbered lists indicate the writing and magazine publication order, which were usually the same (exceptions noted). Timelines indicate the book order or the story order in each collection. Until His Last Bow, stories were usually (not always) spaced one month apart. There was usually (not always) a lag time of about one month between UK and US publication. Stories were not always published in the UK first. Book covers represent the first hardcover editions. Red titles indicate a story was positioned later in a collection relative to its writing order, blue titles earlier.

Worldbuilding which treats a thousand years as the depths of an unknowable timespan, even though on Earth we know exactly what kind of stuff was going on circa AD 1023, -VERSUS- worldbuilding which treats ten thousand years as a reasonable "very long time", even though on Earth it's 1. nearly twice as old as recorded history and 2. an entire one-tenth of the time Homo sapiens sapiens has existed
of course, my next thought is "why would you pit two bad (as in poorly-written) bitches against each other"

Life of Paris (Alexander)
1231 (age 0) Queen Hecabe of Troy dreams that she is about to give birth to a flaming torch that sets her city aflame. Aesacus, son of Priam by his previous wife, interprets the dream and declares the child will bring the downfall of Troy. On the day of Paris's birth, Aesacus further prophetizes that any royal child born that day would have to be killed to save Troy. Paris is born that same day before nightfall. Priam spares the child, unable to kill his own son. Herophile, priestess of Apollo, insists the child must be killed. Priam asks his chief herdsman Agelaus to kill Paris. Agelaus cannot kill the child and exposes him on Mount Ida, where he is suckled by a female bear. Five days later, Agelaus finds Paris alive and adopts him and tells Priam the child is dead.
1216 (age 15) Paris routs a gang of cattle thieves and returns the stolen animals to the herd, thus earning the nickname Alexander. Soon afterwards, Paris becomes the lover of Oenone, daughter of the river god Cebren and oread nymph of Mount Ida.
1214 (age 17) Paris and Oenone get married.
1212 (age 19) birth of their son Corythus on Mount Ida.
1211 (age 20) Paris starts organizing bull fights on Mount Ida, which he wins almost every time.
1209 (age 22) Paris offers a golden crown as a prize for his next bull fight. Ares chooses to participate, transforms into a bull and wins the contest. Paris gives the crown to Ares without hesitation, the honesty of which catches Zeus's attention and leads him to decide that Paris will award the golden apple he has been keeping since the marriage of Thetis and Peleus to the fairest goddess. Judgment of Paris: Paris attributes the golden apple to Aphrodite, earning Hera's and Athena's enmity, but winning the promise of Helen's love, most beautiful of all mortal women.
1208 (age 23) To atone for the supposed murder of his own son, Priam has been organizing expiatory games. Paris's favorite bull is taken to be the prize of this year's games. He decides to participate to win it back. Paris wins all the games, which angers his brother Deiphobus, but his sister Cassandra recognizes him with her seeress powers and Priam welcomes him back to Troy.
1207 (age 24) Paris hires Phereclus to build a fleet, as advised by Aphrodite.
1204 (age 27) Paris and his cousin Aeneas and a contingent of warriors leave for Greece, pretexting to visit and enquire about Hesione, Priam's elder sister. They travel through Greece, and when they reach Sparta, they are welcomed and entertained by Menelaus, husband of Helen who is immediately smitten with love for Paris, as promised by Aphrodite. Menelaus must leave for Crete, for the funeral of king Catreus, his grandfather. As soon as he is gone, Helen embarks with Paris for Troy. However, to avoid being pursued, they detour south of Crete, to Cyprus and Phoenicia. Paris and Aeneas sack Sidon.
1203 (age 28) The fleet reaches Troy. Paris and Helen marry.
1202 (age 29) Birth of Bunomus, their son.
1194 (age 37) Birth of Aganus, their second son.
1193 (age 38) The siege of Troy begins.
1192 (age 39) Birth of Idaeus, their third son.
1191 (age 40) Oenone sends their now adult son Corythus to Paris to participate in the war against the Greeks. He is welcomed by Helen and is stricken by her beauty. Paris does not recognize his son and kills him out of jealousy before he is informed of his identity.
1188 (age 43) Troy is struck by a minor earthquake, but the three sons of Paris and Helen are killed by the collapsing roof of their house.
1184 (age 47) Paris duels Menelaus and is saved by Aphrodite. He wounds Diomedes and later kills Achilles with an arrow guided by Apollo. Philoctetes wounds Paris with an arrow bearing the poison of the Lernaean Hydra. Helen rushes to Mount Ida to beg for Oenone's healing skills. She refuses and Paris soon dies. Oenone commits suicide.

Library: Chronology
Tumblr media
[ The Morgan Library - New York City. Mariusz Lopusiewicz ]
Since Fall of 2020 I've ignored Seraanna's Chronology page, where I try to apply a little order to all the stories I've written for her. And, truly, I wrote a frightful number of shorts and vignettes for her - even taking my hiatus from WoW (July 2021 - Feb 2023) into account.
No more.
The Chronology is updated and shiny, with neglected fics, collabs, arcs, and more recent fics written since I came back to these characters. A first step to getting back into writing that's languished since the New Year. I'm either calling January a bye month, or declaring fiction bankruptcy (well, not bankrupt - there are discord scenes waiting for me with extraordinary patience).
Yes, I'm also the kind of person who cleans their desk before writing. How did you know?

Btw, Mr. Earnshaw dies in October and Cathy and Heathcliff spy at Thrushcross Grange in November (five weeks before Christmas) but are we sure that these two events are within the same year? All timelines including mine assume that they are and that there are at most six weeks between them but what is excluding the possibility that there are 13 months between them? Can I be wrong here in criticizing the radio drama?
In short is there any indication that only six weeks pass here:
“Young Earnshaw was altered considerably in the three years of his absence. He had grown sparer, and lost his colour, and spoke and dressed quite differently; and, on the very day of his return, he told Joseph and me we must thenceforth quarter ourselves in the back-kitchen, and leave the house for him. Indeed, he would have carpeted and papered a small spare room for a parlour; but his wife expressed such pleasure at the white floor and huge glowing fireplace, at the pewter dishes and delf-case, and dog-kennel, and the wide space there was to move about in where they usually sat, that he thought it unnecessary to her comfort, and so dropped the intention.
She expressed pleasure, too, at finding a sister among her new acquaintance; and she prattled to Catherine, and kissed her, and ran about with her, and gave her quantities of presents, at the beginning. Her affection tired very soon, however, and when she grew peevish, Hindley became tyrannical. A few words from her, evincing a dislike to Heathcliff, were enough to rouse in him all his old hatred of the boy. He drove him from their company to the servants, deprived him of the instructions of the curate, and insisted that he should labour out of doors instead; compelling him to do so as hard as any other lad on the farm.
Heathcliff bore his degradation pretty well at first, because Cathy taught him what she learnt, and worked or played with him in the fields. They both promised fair to grow up as rude as savages; the young master being entirely negligent how they behaved, and what they did, so they kept clear of him. He would not even have seen after their going to church on Sundays, only Joseph and the curate reprimanded his carelessness when they absented themselves; and that reminded him to order Heathcliff a flogging, and Catherine a fast from dinner or supper. But it was one of their chief amusements to run away to the moors in the morning and remain there all day, and the after punishment grew a mere thing to laugh at. The curate might set as many chapters as he pleased for Catherine to get by heart, and Joseph might thrash Heathcliff till his arm ached; they forgot everything the minute they were together again: at least the minute they had contrived some naughty plan of revenge; and many a time I’ve cried to myself to watch them growing more reckless daily, and I not daring to speak a syllable, for fear of losing the small power I still retained over the unfriended creatures. One Sunday evening, it chanced that they were banished from the sitting-room, for making a noise, or a light offence of the kind; and when I went to call them to supper, I could discover them nowhere. We searched the house, above and below, and the yard and stables; they were invisible: and, at last, Hindley in a passion told us to bolt the doors, and swore nobody should let them in that night. The household went to bed; and I, too, anxious to lie down, opened my lattice and put my head out to hearken, though it rained: determined to admit them in spite of the prohibition, should they return. In a while, I distinguished steps coming up the road, and the light of a lantern glimmered through the gate. I threw a shawl over my head and ran to prevent them from waking Mr. Earnshaw by knocking. There was Heathcliff, by himself: it gave me a start to see him alone.”
(Chapter 6)
Now, Cathy’s diary in Chapter 3 writes of Heathcliff’s degradation, her father’s death and the visit to Thrushcross Grange as fairly close events so I do not really doubt my chronology, I still think only six weeks pass in the above passage, but I am a bit surprised to find no concrete confirmation of it.

I've just about concluded that a lot of the confusion I see in the notes when I'm talking about historical trends stems from the fact that half the people reading those posts don't know the difference between "the 1990s" and "circa 1990".

Time travel
So little room has been left Into which we can manoeuvre Relative to this narrative Quantum shifting enabled Shyly taking a large order Knowing the power within Credibility might have suffered Many meaningless affirmations Not selected for invalidation Dissolve into insignificance Long-held oft-repeated position Caught in a web of lies How robust are these ideas Will they resist this test Surviving the fall from collapse
Now we turn to play the host Catalysing a chain reaction Travelling like lightening
Air evaporates mid motion Memories dragged from the past Robbing them of context
Times no longer inhabitable Further receded than it seems Yet now we reopen dilemmas.
