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

 * TECHINICAL NOTE:

 * 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.
