Lately I've been foraying outside of the televised stories, into Big Finish and some of the BBC audiobooks, and to help me make sense of it all, I've been looking for a guide that lists all the expanded universe stories in biographical order (i.e. the order that the Doctor experiences them).

I've had a bit of luck with lists like these: http://www.eyespider.freeserve.co.uk/drwho/compleat.html http://www.drwhoguide.com/who.htm#11TH

...but I was surprised not to find such a list on the TARDIS wiki, since I normally rely on it to be the best indicator of canon (or as close as you can get with Doctor Who).

Is there a reason for this I don't know about? There are already lists of appearances per Doctor organised by medium, and the biography sections of the Doctor pages include expanded universe stories, fitted into where they most likely occur, so it would seem the bulk of the work has already been done.

The way I imagine it, each Doctor would have their own timeline page, listing their stories in the order they occur in their biography. I know some stories are harder to date than others, but we can always include a notes column to flag these instances, as well as explaining why a story has been placed where it has. And in the same way the biographies do it, some stories may have to be placed in an undated section.

I think such a list would be a great way to help people to access the expanded universe.
