At the same time, she put all of those characters in the [[Character Usability|usability status]] of "free for use unless you're Jesse Willey". Therefore, all ''Teenfactor'' stories can be considered not ''necessarily'' a part of the continuity (with the possible exception of ''[[New Teenfactor]]'' #1), but some version of the characters exists, may have had experiences similar to those in the stories, and have made presumably canonical appearances in stories not written by Amabel or Jesse. (Insofar as the LNH ''has'' a canon.)<br /> |
(Relevant notes: ''[[Teenfactor (series)|Teenfactor]]'' #100-111 were set in a parallel universe, making them effectively an Elsewhirl to an Elsewhirl. Teenfactor #46-48 were retconned by #131-133 before themselves being retconned. ''[[Journey Into Irrelevancy]]'' #4 and ''[[Web of Mainstream Man]]'' #2 have brief appearances by Teenfactor cast members that don't effect the story outside of those scenes. The latter series also involves a new incarnation of minor Teenfactor villain the Purple Crayon, but apart from a few lines the original doesn't need to have existed for this story to work. The canonicity of ''[[Flame Wars VI]]'' is largely moot since it involves merging parallel timelines. Finally, as the destruction of [[Sig.Ago]] in ''[[The Team (series)|The Team]]'' took place in a since-retconned alternate timeline (see below), the whole of the original versions of ''Teenfactor'' and ''The Team'' may have belonged to that timeline, or then again maybe not. My head hurts.)</ref> | (Relevant notes: ''[[Teenfactor (series)|Teenfactor]]'' #100-111 were set in a parallel universe, making them effectively an Elsewhirl to an Elsewhirl.

The ''[[Cosmic Plot Device Caper]]'' continuation posts that introduced characters like [[Ultimate Ninja]] and [[Acton Lord]] were going on at the same time as both ''[[501 Blues]]: [[The Long Road to Nowhere]]'' and the ''[[Cry.Sig]]''. Thus, ''501 Blues'' references the ''Cry.Sig'' even though it takes place earlier (and the end leads into it). Early stories about [[Sig.Lad]], [[Netlurker]] and Ultimate Ninja are out-of-context posts from these threads so their placement is a bit speculative. The timeline is particularly weird for Sig.Lad and Acton Lord, who jump back and forth between different narrative strands. It actually gets less confusing after the time travel and clones happen.</ref> |

<ref name = nineeleven>''[[Journey Into Irrelevancy]]'' took place over a very short period of time, a few weeks at most. Its ending immediately leads into the beginning of ''[[Net.Heroes on Parade]]''. However, this is less problematic than it would otherwise be due to the low activity of the LNH during most of its run.

The Classic LNH Timeline, Or, What Stuff Goes In What Order.
Based on the work of Scavenger, Martin Phipps, Jeff Barnes, Russ Allbery and Arthur Spitzer. Format by Mike Escutia.
Stories from LNHY ([Y]), LNH20 ([20]), the NTB ([N]), Superguy ([SG]), and other RACC imprints ([R]) that have direct bearing on the Classic LNH will also be included in this timeline (and see the LNH2 subset of the Futures category). If you see anything that's missing, feel free to add it, and if there are any glaring errors, feel free to fix them! (The Wiki Way™!)
See also the NTB Timeline, the LNH2 Timeline, the LNHY Timeline, and the LNH20 Timeline.
Currently missing entries for Myopia Man and Colorblind Kid #1-2, Galumpy C #1-6, Kid Mysticism #1-17, Stranger Tales #1, The Machine #8-10, Pigs in Time #1-5, The Indie #7, and the part of Beige Midnight that was set during Retcon Hour, as well as flashbacks and flashforwards in various series.
Footnotes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 The flashback in Just Imagine Saxon Brenton vs. Andrew Perron in the Return of the RACCies! #9 is described in broad detail and takes place over about eighty years.
- ↑ 2.00 2.01 2.02 2.03 2.04 2.05 2.06 2.07 2.08 2.09 2.10 2.11 2.12 2.13 2.14 2.15 2.16 2.17 2.18 2.19 2.20 2.21 2.22 2.23 2.24 2.25 2.26 2.27 2.28 2.29 2.30 2.31 2.32 2.33 2.34 2.35 2.36 2.37 2.38 2.39 2.40 2.41 2.42 2.43 2.44 2.45 2.46 2.47 2.48 2.49 2.50 2.51 2.52 2.53 2.54 2.55 2.56 2.57 2.58 2.59 2.60 2.61 2.62 2.63 2.64 2.65 2.66 2.67 2.68 2.69 2.70 2.71 2.72 2.73 2.74 2.75 2.76 2.77 2.78 2.79 2.80 2.81 2.82 2.83 2.84 2.85 2.86 2.87 2.88 2.89 2.90 2.91 2.92 2.93 2.94 After Jesse Willey used Electra without permission in Adventures Beyond Comprehension #10, Amabel Holland officially Elsewhirled her appearance in it, along with all appearances of the Teenfactor cast written by herself or Jesse. At the same time, she put all of those characters in the usability status of "free for use unless you're Jesse Willey". Therefore, all Teenfactor stories can be considered not necessarily a part of the continuity (with the possible exception of New Teenfactor #1), but some version of the characters exists, may have had experiences similar to those in the stories, and have made presumably canonical appearances in stories not written by Amabel or Jesse. (Insofar as the LNH has a canon.)
(Relevant notes: Teenfactor #100-111 were set in a parallel universe, making them effectively an Elsewhirl to an Elsewhirl. Teenfactor #46-48 were retconned by #131-133 before themselves being retconned. Journey Into Irrelevancy #4 and Web of Mainstream Man #2 have brief appearances by Teenfactor cast members that don't effect the story outside of those scenes. The latter series also involves a new incarnation of minor Teenfactor villain the Purple Crayon, but apart from a few lines the original doesn't need to have existed for this story to work. The canonicity of Flame Wars VI is largely moot since it involves merging parallel timelines. Finally, as the destruction of Sig.Ago in The Team took place in a since-retconned alternate timeline (see below), the whole of the original versions of Teenfactor and The Team may have belonged to that timeline, or then again maybe not. My head hurts.) - ↑ 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 Martin Phipps's stories about the early LNH place their founding in 1985. However, other stories generally place it much closer to the Cosmic Plot Device Caper. Choose your own canon~
- ↑ This story is set "some time" before Journey Into Irrelevancy #7; no other context is provided.
- ↑ Generation Y #0 takes place immediately after the Cosmic Plot Device Caper, but was written far later and probably should not be read until just before Generation Y #1.
- ↑ The placement of the earliest LNH stories can be a bit wibbly-wobbly, since after the Two-and-a-Half Month Gap, the LNH split into several branching and converging narrative strands. The Cosmic Plot Device Caper continuation posts that introduced characters like Ultimate Ninja and Acton Lord were going on at the same time as both 501 Blues: The Long Road to Nowhere and the Cry.Sig. Thus, 501 Blues references the Cry.Sig even though it takes place earlier (and the end leads into it). Early stories about Sig.Lad, Netlurker and Ultimate Ninja are out-of-context posts from these threads so their placement is a bit speculative. The timeline is particularly weird for Sig.Lad and Acton Lord, who jump back and forth between different narrative strands. It actually gets less confusing after the time travel and clones happen.
- ↑ The Cannon Fodder mentioned in the Origin of Ultimate Ninja is not the same as Cannon Fodder, the LNH member. Probably.
- ↑ The continuity around the end of Cry.Sig is a bit confused. Quest for Cheeze #1-4, Sieze Dangerous #1, and the first 17 chapters of Integrity Quest take place simultaneously with the end of Cry.Sig, since The Cosmic Conspiracy occurs immediately after it and the return of Typo Lad has to take place before Cosmic Conspiracy.
- ↑ The first eight parts of Integrity Quest were unnumbered, and then the numbering began with #1. This timeline numbers the first eight parts as Integrity Quest Prelude #1-8.
- ↑ There is a gap of approximately a week between Sieze Dangerous #1 and #2 (while Contraption Man works on the Peril Room) and between Integrity Quest #9 and #10 (Defacto visits Panta repeatedly, and the Woody Incident occurs approximately a week after the first visit). Both of these gaps seem consistent with the stories.
- ↑ The Comics Connection definitely takes place before Kid Kirby and Sing-Along Lass #1-2, and since KKSAL #2 states that the Peril Room had not been constructed yet, they must all take place before Sieze Dangerous #2. Comics Snob Boy is killed in Comics Connection, but appears in Sieze Dangerous and Electrocutioner's Song; Drizzt called out this contradiction when he appears in The Flame Wars. This would eventually result in the creation of Comics Snob Boy II.
- ↑ The Death of Flatulence Lad was missing from the archives for a long period of time. The Electrocutioner's Song contradicts it somewhat, although Pat Buchanan, who ordered Flatulence Lad's death, could have been Acton Lord in disguise.
- ↑ The first chapter of Jungle Cheesecake is officially called System Corruptors #2; it's renamed here to avoid confusion with Martin's System Corruptors #2. It is found in the Jungle Cheesecake TEB.
- ↑ Ven-Dorr, The Soda Machine That Walked, er, Rolled Like a Man! clearly happens after Jungle Cheesecake and before LetterinG MaN #5, but Paper Tigers fits better into continuity back before the Leadership Crisis. The beginning of Ven-Dorr can be explained by the fact that Doublecross's take-over was at the Net level, and therefore doesn't have to quite follow the normal flow of events.
- ↑ Early issues of LNH Comics Presents consisted of multiple shorter stories, each of which was often part of a multi-issue arc. LNHCP #4-6 and Special #1 also contained The One True Dave, an Elsewhirls story inspired by Scales of Justice.
- ↑ At the time of this story, Rebel Yell hadn't returned to the LNH and wasn't in contact with Lurking Girl. Lurking Girl's statements to the contrary can be safely ignored. Move along.
- ↑ 17.0 17.1 Organic Lass was one of those LNHers who was originally just someone coming up with a cool superhero name for themself, and only reaching character status thru other people's stories. Unlike most such characters, however, Organic Lass's creator, Rebecca Drayer, stayed as part of the LNH community, and eventually wrote an origin story, Organic Lass: Mistress of Molecules. However, while Cry.Sig was Organic Lass's first in-character appearance, the flashbacks in Mistress of Molecules clearly take place well past Cry.Sig and other early stories with Organic Lass in them, at a point where Ultimate Ninja is leader and characters like Master Blaster and Particle Man are members of the Legion. It may be considered an Elsewhirl for this reason, tho it may also be considered to retcon previous stories. (Whichever's more fun, really.) The framing device probably takes place around the time the story was posted.
- ↑ JONG #4 takes place at around the same time as the Valentine's Ball, but contains references to many things written far later and is also a Robot Invasion crossover.
- ↑ 19.0 19.1 19.2 Trying to reconcile the various references to other issues in The Adventures of Easily-Discovered Man #14 and #15 and Substitute Lad #1 with continuity is hopeless. Trust me. We've tried.
- ↑ There used to not be a footnote 20 because on the old wiki it would have looked identical to the LNH20 continuity marker, but now it doesn't so there is. wait, what was I saying? Oh yes:
Dvandom Force #46-47 takes place in an alternate future; see X-Post Facto. - ↑ Refugees of Net.ropolis has been removed from the archives at the author's request, but is left in this timeline so that the references make sense.
- ↑ Stranger Tales #3-6 has the Dvandom Stranger telling the story of an alternate reality around the time of the Kinda Big Darkness Saga. Stranger Tales #7 does likewise for Dvandom Force #55.
- ↑ Generation Y #17 takes place over the course of several months but should be read shortly before #18.
- ↑ There is no Thesaurus Lass v1 #1, as far as we can determine. The #1 in the archives is v2 #1.
- ↑ 25.0 25.1 In Journey Inside a Ninja, the writer declared that the villain of the series was a resurrected Sig.Lad. Sig.Lad's creator disagreed. Thus, all parts of the series relating to that are retconned out, including pretty much all of issue #3.5.
- ↑ New Teenfactor was written in 2007 but set in 1997. This series was supposed to tell the real story of Teenfactor and replace the original series in continuity, but was abandoned after one issue.
- ↑ Golden Man: Life and Death Book III seems never to have shown up on RACC. Amabel Holland has said that "I skipped an issue or two for reasons I still can't quite fathom." (Some Pseudo-Random Thoughts on LNH)
- ↑ 28.0 28.1 According to the notes on Limp-Asparagus Lad #51, #45 and Annual #1 take place between #50 and #51. Since Annual #1's plot centers around New Year's Eve/Day 2000, they must go in an order something like this.
- ↑ 29.0 29.1 Impressively, Mutton Mania Epi-Epilogue and Saviors of the Net #13 are the same story.
- ↑ 30.0 30.1 30.2 30.3 The destruction of Sig.ago in The Team #25 was retconned out in Legion of Net.Heroes Volume 2 #24. President Evil #6 states that George W. Bush winning the 2000 election instead of Hex Luthor (as seen in LNH Comics Presents Special #8), the destruction of Sig.ago, and Andrew Weinstein's creation of advanced technology in response to that destruction (in later issues of The Team and Adventures Beyond Comprehension) all belong to the same divergent timeline. Presumably, the significant divergences from the continuity of other stories in LNHCP Special #8 (including Miss Translation and crew being members of the LNH post-Flame Wars IV and Lurking Girl being a present-day LNHer) also belong to this timeline.
- ↑ 31.0 31.1 Journey Into Irrelevancy took place over a very short period of time, a few weeks at most. Its ending immediately leads into the beginning of Net.Heroes on Parade. However, this is less problematic than it would otherwise be due to the low activity of the LNH during most of its run. The placement of Limp-Asparagus Lad #55 assumes that the theft of the Clogs of Comedy and resultant darkening of the Looniverse in Journey Into Irrelevancy #4 caused/is caused by/coincides with the Looniverse's reaction to the Real World events of September 11 in LAL #55, so these issues take place more or less simultaneously. This was made explicit in President Evil #6. The version of events that makes the most sense in terms of continuity is that Baby Pain stole the Clogs on September 11th and the opening arc of JII (and therefore most of Pearly White) took place shortly afterwards, on the day it was posted; however, JII is not a series that cares a lot about making sense.
- ↑ 32.0 32.1 32.2 32.3 32.4 32.5 In 2006, Amabel Holland wrote revised TEB editions of Net.Heroes on Parade which removed excessive purple prose, poorly thought-out characterization and abandoned subplots. These editions are canonical. #24-26 were removed from continuity, as eventually were the later appearances of these characters in Road to Killfile Wars.
- ↑ Flame Wars V, which bore a marked resemblance to the infamous Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, was so awful it was pre-emptively retconned before even being written. Only an epilogue exists. However, Vel survived from this timeline and joined the LNH in Flame Wars VI.
- ↑ 34.0 34.1 Ultimate Mercenary #5 takes place at a point in Flame Wars VI when different timelines were converging. It is set simultaneously in the Classic LNH timeline's 2003 and LNH2's 2036.
- ↑ Just Imagine Saxon Brenton's RACCies! #13 was skipped, due to bad luck.
- ↑ Just Imagine Saxon Brenton's RACCies! #25 was originally posted as a flashback in Just Imagine Saxon Brenton vs. Andrew Perron in the Return of the RACCies! #8.
- ↑ We're taking "a long cold winter" in #8 literally.
- ↑ 38.0 38.1 38.2 38.3 38.4 Okay, so. Alt.stralian Yarns #14 takes place "several months" before October 2007. Since the #11-#14 arc contains "the first time the world encountered" the Turtles of Apocalyptic Proportions, it has to be before Infinite April. #9 and 10 are "seven months" earlier, but #1-8 are "many years" after that, implying that these issues take place significantly in the future of when they were posted. What. And Possum-Man: Relinquished #6 takes place before Infinite April as well – but Possum-Man #1 takes place five months after Alt.stralian Yarns #6!
- ↑ 39.0 39.1 The Adventures of Easily-Discovered Man #50 explicitly takes place between Beige Countdown #11 and 10, and the next two issues follow right after. #45 begins a plot that goes through at least past #52, but the opening to #51 alludes to the Infinite Leadership Crisis interrupting the plot, so this is probably what it should look like?
- ↑ Mister Blister and Sister State-the-Obvious #2 concerns the 2008 American presidential election, and it follows directly on from #1, so they must both go here!
- ↑ Masterplan Lad's reference in Ultimate Mercenary #6 to Beige Midnight being ongoing are from a Real World perspective, not an in-story perspective. Interestingly enough, the reference to six years passing since the last issue works from both perspectives, even though it was a different six-year gap, since #5 and #6 were both exactly three years behind in continuity. Gotta love crossovers.
- ↑ Legion of Net.Heroes Volume 2 #38 was an Elsewhirls.
- ↑ Only the framing sequence of System Corruptors #28 takes place at this point. The flashbacks take place in ancient history, in a different timeline and a version of history that didn't exist when the LNH was formed.
- ↑ The first LNH Volume 2 issue #51 and its add-on were removed from continuity, and another issue with the same numbering was posted in its place (along with two add-ons).
- ↑ Clearly, the apathy storm is causing/caused by the presence of The Laziness.
- ↑ Another LNH Title? Really? #3 is not listed on the timeline, as it is a dream by a slice of pizza from another universe.
- ↑ The Liminals #1 has an editorial note that puts it "shortly after WikiLull #10". However, this was before WikiLull developed in the apocalyptic direction it ended up going. Given that the characters express uncertainty on their placement on the timeline relative to WikiLull, it's probably best to put the story around its publication date.
- ↑ 48.0 48.1 48.2 48.3 48.4 Due to the fact that WikiLull EXHALE and Hungry, Hungry Sabertooths! #3 and #6 took years to come out, a number of stories were written where the status of the Ame.rec.an President and Ultimate Ninja were ambiguous. Thus, appearances of the Ultimate Ninja between late 2016 and the publishing of HHS #6 may be interpreted as either the original, with the story happening on Earth-Combover, or Ultimate Ninja II in the post-WikiLull Looniverse. (Notably, Legion of Net.Heroes Volume 3 #2 explicitly features the post-WikiLull Ultimate Ninja. The VHS Bootleg Tape of The Namer Boy Documentary Project: Season Two #2 and HHS #13 explicitly take place on Earth-Combover, while HHS #3 places #1-2 there.)
- ↑ The Hungry, Hungry Sabertooths! page contains a reading order for the crossover, more or less following the original posting order. For the love of all that's holy, do not try to read this according to the timeline order.
- ↑ The Age of ApocaLISP issues of Manga Girl are very difficult to place. They seem to take place in an alternate present, but based on Ultimate Mercenary's origin, they would have to take place many generations in the future. Also, neither the mature Amabel Holland nor Saxon Brenton could determine whether it was the main-timeline or alternate-timeline ApocaLISP who died at the end. It's probably best not to think too hard about Amabel's adolescent work.
- ↑ Hell's Titans, Jesse Willey's first LNH series, was intended by the author to be the LNH's real future at the time. It involved the world ending in 2000. Obviously this didn't take. Later this world appeared as an alternate timeline; the events of this series take place simultaneously with the beginning of Flame Wars VI.
- ↑ 52.0 52.1 The flashbacks related by Humanity in Kid Not Appearing in Any Retcon Hour Story don't have any information to place them on a specific point on the timeline (and were erased from continuity anyway, except for the memory of a few cosmic-level beings and Net.Access). Since it involves characters from Refugees of Net.ropolis it likely takes place in 1995, not long before the Leftovers arc began.
- ↑ The issues listed here are only those that cross into the Classic LNH timeline or are part of Classic LNH series.
- ↑ The unnamed protagonist of LNH Forever and Deja Dude II make several other brief time jumps during their battle.
- ↑ Considering that in later stories the Earth of LNH2 had been destroyed and then undestroyed in a way that would seem to make a continuation of the previous LNH2 storyline impossible, these issues are likely an alternate future of an alternate future.
- ↑ Jennifer Whitson left RACC when Misfits was in the middle of a crossover. She came back and finished up her part, fixing that in continuity, and then continued forward from there, rarely tying any of the issues afterward into "current events" at any point that they could be set, apart from a few interactions with Teens in Trenchcoats towards the end of its run.
- ↑ Hey, you said it, Masterplan Lad.
