Narnian Timelines
I said a while ago that I ought to start working on a unified Narnian timeline and then mentioned some problems that effort had created -- I have fixed both of those, by the way -- and now I am pleased to announce that I have finished the project... or at least gotten it into compliance with my extant writing in this fandom. So I'm posting the whole thing, because A) I think it's kind of cool, and B) it may be of some use if anyone wants a better idea of how my Narnia fanfic fits together.
A lot of this is borrowed from Lewis's own Narnian timeline, but I threw some of the extra-canonical stuff out because it made no sense (or is just depressing, like Cor's death date) and it's not in the books, so I can and will gleefully ignore it when I see fit. There are three timelines because my fanfiction covers three separate worlds: the world of Narnia, the world of Charn, and the world of England, which one may presumably call Earth.
Not all of my Narnian fanfiction fits into this timeline. I have deliberately left out my Problem of Susan fics, since several of them contradict each other and I'm constructing a this DID happen sort of timeline rather than an IF this happened, it MIGHT have happened roughly here-ish sort of timeline. I have also left out AUs, for obvious reasons. But everything that could plausibly fit has been included, plus all the history from my Thoughts on Calormen meta posts and a bunch of background world-building for "The Courting Dance."
