Oops, I meant say his first regeneration, not his second. Sorry.

Timelines.
Hi. After your "three timelines" piece, I searched some more and found this online. 

It essentially lays things out well(except for dismissing all tv stories as non-cannon):

What is says is:

"The eighth Doctor appeared in BBC licensed audio plays from Big Finish productions. The BBC, snatching the baton from Virgin, began publishing a series of novels featuring the eighth Doctor. Doctor Who Magazine began featuring the eighth Doctor in its monthly comic section. Crucially none of these strands were connected to each other in any way. A fan could follow the audios without following the books,or the comics, or any combination of the three. The adventures of the Doctor and Sam, the Doctor and Izzy, or the Doctor and Charley each existed in hermetically sealed universes, cut off from each other, cut off from the Virgin New Adventure line of novels and, in most cases, cut off even from the narrative and character tropes of the TV movie that had launched the eight Doctor."

This is how most people saw/see it. Trying to cram the Virgin Books, BBC Books, Doctor Who Magazine Comics, and Big Finish Audios into one timeline is not only impossible, it makes no sense, and is completely contrary to what the people who wrote the stories intended.
