This is a first attempt at a chronology of canon Bikini Beach stories. There have been many requests to know what's the proper order; hopefully, this will answer some questions. There are few that are out of order; for example, Ellie Dauber's "Swim Date" and "Teaching Sally" overlap in time, even though Teaching Sally was published much later. My "Cousin Trouble" and "Dear Jenny" were published out of order, as well. Note that not all of these stories are on Big Closet; I'll get to them eventually.
Notes: First, the "original pub date" is when it was published on the other site.
Second, the column that says "Key Stories" are those stories which are key to certain events and form the canon framework around which many other stories revolve.
Third, the next column "stories with required sequence" ARE order-dependent, and they should be read in proper order, as there is some interplay among the stories. (I didn't put in the 'dependent' column, though."
Fourth, the "no sequence required" stories could happen at any time in the BB timeline.
Hope this is helpful.
Note - I will get this updated as I continue to add to the list of 'canon' stories and add more to the universe. Also please note that I am reviewing ALL existing Bikini Beach stories to check for being 'canon' or not. The starting assumption is that Ellie's and my works are canon, and as I check other stories, I will add them to the list.
