I'm trying to compile a chronology of TR fan fics to post at Wikis.
Here's how to see what I've done so far.
Copy and past the below text into Word.
Convert Text to Table using ; as the separator.

As you will see, the only dates I have so far are the dates that works were submitted to ff.net, which of course could be years after the story was published but which is better than nothing. (But I need your help.)
So Katie Fleming, Dr. Amazing and myself, for example, are missing at the moment as we don't have our early stories at ff.net.
I was going to put Chirugal's stuff on the table but I was too lazy to type in her 50 stories :)
There are people missing (it's a work in progress).

So ... please could you email me at ostercy2003@hotmail.com if you have any extra details or suggestions for authors that I can include. I'll keep a master copy and add things as they come in. I don't suppose the table will ever be complete - there are about 650 TR tales at ff.net alone - but I hope it will become the record of record, if you know what I mean.

Here's the text to copy and paste and convert to a table;
