The Memoirs Universe

Expanded Chronology

Updated May, 2007

A Note To Readers:

With the publication of Meet the Novaks, the Memoirs Universe is now completed. In terms of spoilers, this series includes potential references to anything before The Return (SGA 03x10). For your convenience, I have two posted chronologies. This page is the more complex chronology, containing specific dates and events referenced within stories in the series. There is a simplified chronology which can be found here. It contains the 'shorts' (stories of 1,000 words or less), and links to the longer pieces, all organized chronologically.

For clarity's sake, there is a key of sorts to the expanded chronology:
All fic 'summaries' are italicized
All fic titles are in bold type.
All events are standard type.

Blanket Caveats for the series can be found here.

For those new to the series, Begin Here.
