User:Cousin Ettolrhc/Sandbox/Timeline - Eighth Doctor

Immediately Post-Regeneration
Only sources which are adapttaions of, or set within, either Doctor Who: The Movie or sources set as direct sequels, should be included here
 * TV: Doctor Who: The Movie / PROSE: The Novel of the Film / PROSE: The TV Movie
 * PROSE: The Eight Doctors - set immediately after Doctor Who: The Movie
 * AUDIO: Bounty - Sam Jones's first trip in the TARDIS, setting this immediately after The Eight Doctors

Early travels with Sam and early solo adventures
''Between adventures with Sam, the Doctor begins taking several "side trips" by himself. (PROSE: Seeing I) The following stories are not internally ordered (unless clumped together), but all fit into this section.
 * PROSE: Model Train Set- part of the Short Trips series.
 * The Doctor us still adjusting to his new personality
 * The Eighth Doctor was first mentioned as having a train set in PROSE: ''Vampire Science


 * PROSE: The People's Temple - part of the Short Trips series. The Doctor sees the result of his tampering with the TARDIS model train set, setting this after Model Train Set


 * PROSE: Suns and Mothers - part of the Short Trips series.
 * The Doctor up in a hospital, saying he's already "been there, done that", suggesting a placement shortly after The 1996 Movie
 * This may be inaccurate, as the Doctor could remember this event at any point in his life he doesn't have amnesia, although he is more likely to reference it if it was more recent.


 * PROSE: The Queen of Eros - part of the Short Trips series. No solid reason for placement, but it features Sam and the Doctor with no explanation of placement, so placing it in the gap with few published stories despite being reasonably long in-universe makes some sense. But feel free to contact Cousin Ettolrhc if you disagree.


 * PROSE: Thinking Warrior - part of the Short Trips series
 * PROSE: The Ethereal - part of the Short Trips series
 * Set immediately after Thinking Warrior, and the Doctor is described as looking "young", placing this early in his life, although not necessisarily as early as I have placed it.

Greenpeace gap
''The Doctor leaves Sam at a Greenpeace rally, for what is a few hours for her and a few years for him. (PROSE: Vampire Science)''

The Radio Times comic stories featuring the Eighth Doctor were intended to take place in this gap, and others have also been placed here

The Eighth Doctor: Time War
''See /Time War for the continuity which ends in the regeneration into the War Doctor in TV: The Night of the Doctor
 * NOTE FOR DEV, DO REMOVE: Theory:Timeline_-_Eighth_Doctor should be critically examined for inclusion, particular the parts before 8:TW
 * TECHINICAL NOTE:
 * Any story where the Eighth Doctor wears his outfit from The Night of the Doctor is presumed to take place here
 * Titan Publishing Group's Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor is presumed to take place here for the above reason, despite occuring just before his involvement in the Time War.

Ending the Time War
This is for the continuity presumed until TV: The Day of the Doctor, repopulised by Doctor Who and the Time War but which other stories had prevouisly utilised
 * TECHINICAL NOTE: Any story where the Eighth Doctor takes an active role in the Last Great Time War, especially if it is hinted that he will destroy the Time Lords and Daleks by the end, is presumed to take place here.
 * NOTE: All stories here are in some level of contradiction, and no relative placement is presumed


 * PROSE: Osskah - part of the Short Trips series.
 * The Doctor is willingly working for the Time Lords, to put an end to a "storm in Heaven", possibly the War in Heaven
