Sarah's convoluted history

Jan 18, 2009 15:43

I was going to write a tl;dr about Sarah's character progression from The Time Warrior to Enemy of the Bane but I just had to look up a few facts first.

I ended up at The Doctor Who Reference Guide trying to sort out a few dates and ended up opening up a word document and plotting Sarah's chronology through the tv show, specials, direct to video ( Read more... )

books, canon crack, discussion, k9 & company, sja, spec, school reunion, audioverse

What a marvellous idea. When you say 'timeline' do you mean that you'll include references to actual books etc? Like the timeline that the Harry Potter Lexicon keeps?

(PS, are there links to 'Bullet Time' - I'm sure I saw one and I'd love to dl it again)

Well, what I'm working with is simpler than that. I've got a list of all the books, tv shows etc. and have placed them in rough chronological order with multiple entries where the timey-wimey bits come in.

If you're a member of the comm, try the download tag. I don't know that there is one (I have a print copy).

Okey doke, I'll try that, and your timeline really does sound invaluable to any SJS aficionado.

BTW, are you a member of the CBB? I see you've posted a number of Chalet School crossovers.

No. Not for lack of interest, but because I'm not fond of bulletin boards - I can never keep up.

When did she meet the other companions?

hhertzof January 19 2009, 14:30:57 UTC

Various short stories. The 1992 DWM holiday special seems to have been dedicated to her adventures and several of those stories appear there.

paranoidangel42 January 19 2009, 15:29:56 UTC

Ah, I never even knew they did holiday specials. Or any kind of specials until recently.

Neither did I until I started digging through this site.

It would be interesting to read, although my own Sarah *taps head* is probably completely different to "canon" Sarah.

Have you read Harry Sullivan's war? There are loads of stories that she's in that were never really considered when they made the SJA series, which is a shame because it adds to her charm.

Mine too. ;)

I have, though I don't remember all the details.

Write some notes, publish it, and consider it a first draft. Editing can happen from that point. :)

That's the general idea but it needs to percolate.
