I've been working on a Firefly fanfic for a couple of weeks and need some chronology help. Does anyone know where I can find a single, and very accurate, timeline for Firefly/Serenity? It will really help me progress my story if I have accurate events and dates.

I posted a similar thread a while back and it has few links there you can use
The most helpful to me were the Verse in Numbers, which Two has made available for download until the QMX site fixes its broken link here:
www.mediafire.com/two (Its in the Maps of the Verse zipped folder)

and there's also
http://test.fireflyrpg.com/

Here's the link to that old thread, it has some good info

Thank you all so much for leading me to these sites. They've been very helpful and I've progressed two whole chapters in my story because of them. I'll be sure to post the story when I'm finished

It's been a while since the original replies in this thread, of course, but I just wanted to thank those of you who took the time to recommend my Firefly Timeline.

I haven't had a chance to update it in a while, I'm afraid, but an expansion that takes in much of the new material to come out in the past year should be up before too long...

The signal's events seem to be right on.

There's only two missing events.

1) When Kaylee came aboard and Bester was fired. This is hard to determine, but likely was early on, after Wash became the pilot and they first started flying.

2) When Jayne came aboard. This is specifically given in series. Our Mrs. Reynolds occurs almost approximately five to six months after the pilot, and in OMR, Mal says that Jayne is "not the man he met a year ago." Jayne came aboard Serenity a month or so after Inara. October 2016-ish.

The specific time frame between the movie and the series is harder to figure out. Some official sources say 2 months, others say six, still others say eight.

Select to view spoiler:

At some point before the movie, Wash agrees to have a baby with Zoe, as Zoe is pregnant in a comic book after the events of the movie.

Checking out yours so far. So far, so good.

There are some ages for the crew given on the Serenity Blue Ray, just so you can confirm and update.

I pulled this data from the Serenity Blue Ray when I did an assessment of the crew's Chinese horoscope. The only birthyears that are unknown for certain are Book and Mal, Book because his file is confidential and Mal because his records may be falsified. When I say "no canon birthdate given," if it is not Book or Mal, then the birthyear is correct but the month and day are speculated.

The Alliance definitely is American and Chinese, but don't forget that it has adopted government ideas from England: such as a parliament, a King of Londinium, and there are people on Persephone who wear sashes to indicate knighthood.

I don't know about Jayne's date that you give. I always thought that Mal was just playing, adding to the situation when he says "You are not the man I met a year ago", I never took it as a literal date for Jayne's entrance into the crew. I guess it could be but I always thought Mal was playin, making the situation funnier.
