095-The-Eighth-Doctor-s-Timeline(inspired-by-Billy2) Big Finish forums] and the Divergent Universe forum. None of these sources should be used solely as a source or considered a "true" timeline for stories.

Sonic screwdriver
Any story where the Doctor uses his silver Sonic Screwdriver must take place either between Doctor Who and The Flood, where it is destroyed, or after Natural Regression and before The Night of the Doctor if the story takes place during the Time War. Any story where the Doctor is using the wooden handled screwdriver must take place after The Flood and up to Natural Regression.

Split continuities
Following the release of Doctor Who, both Doctor Who Magazine and BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures took to continuing the Eighth Doctor's adventures in 1997, to be joined by Big Finish Productions in 2001. Logically, each company storyline would follow one anther, or at least be contained separately. However, the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures debut novel, The Eight Doctors, follows immediately on from the telemovie, while Doctor Who Magazine depicts a stable Eighth Doctor in fiction, even though he was advertised at the time as being newly regenerated. As such, it is easiest to believe that, after the telemovie, BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures happened, followed by Doctor Who Magazine, and then continued with Big Finish Productions, who show the development of the Doctor that leads to The Night of the Doctor.

Radio Times published a comic mini-series before Doctor Who Magazine, and the Virgin New Adventures concluded with The Dying Days before The Eight Doctors was released, both can be placed in a three year time-gap presented in Vampire Science.

Gallifrey
Anything involving Gallifrey must take place either before PROSE: The Ancestor Cell (when Gallifrey is destroyed the first time related to the War); additionally, anything involving Romana II, must take place before PROSE: The Shadows of Avalon (as this is the first novel to feature Romana's third incarnation). This causes issues with the books -> comics -> audios approach, since Romana II still appears in The Apocalypse Element, Neverland, and Zagreus. These cannot fit in the Vampire Science gap, since the Doctor mentions Sam as his companion in Minuet in Hell. However, there is also a period when the Doctor is traveling alone between Interference and The Blue Angel.

Alternatively, anything involving Gallifrey could take place sometime after The Gallifrey Chronicles, after a hypothetical restoration of Gallifrey as predicted in the prophecy. However, such a restoration is never mentioned in the comics or audios.
