Once upon a time, I came up with an idea for a series of fan fiction stories. The basic idea was that all possible fictional worlds existed as one. The central character was a young woman by the name of Colleen Cunningham who I had created when playacting with some of my friends. The stories were going to be written in the style of a journal.Journal of the Observer
and other related stories
Before I knew it, not only was Colleen jumping from world to world, other characters I had created began making guest appearances in other fan fictions. Soon I had created a world of stories and characters that was taking on a life of its own. For want of a better name, I began to refer to these as the Journal of the Observer World, based on the series that held the many tales together.
Over time, I have to admit I have gotten confused on occasion. I'm sure you have, too. Events from various stories take place in certain orders, and events from television shows got shifted, omitted, or altered. To help you, the reader, and myself, I have finally compiled a timeline of the events that take place in this ever-growing world.
Enjoy!

keep straight what happened when!
