This story can be read in various orders, the above is in the order that it occurs to the Doctor but not the order it was written or the order events occur on Equestria.

I set myself the goal of never writing two adjacent doctors after each other, which meant that some idea's weren't written until long after they were thought up, particularly the 4th Doctor story was one of the first conceived but one of the last written. The order the story was written in was: -

1st Doctor
6th Doctor
3rd Doctor
8th Doctor
5th Doctor
10th Doctor
2nd Doctor
7th Doctor
4th Doctor
11th Doctor
8.5th Doctor

The order of events on Equestria is a bit more complicated due to time travel. The 7th Doctor story happens at the same time as many of the other chapters as well as other times: -

7th Doctor - c. 20000 BFC (Before the fall of Corona)
9th Doctor - 120 BFC
3rd Doctor - 990 AFC (After the fall of Corona)
2nd Doctor - 995 AFC
1st Doctor - 1000 AFC (Spring)
6th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Spring)
4th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Summer)
8.5th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Summer) (Alternative Universe)
7th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Summer) (Alternative Universe)
8th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Summer)
11th Doctor - 1000 AFC (Summer)
5th Doctor - 3 CR (Celestia's return)
7th Doctor - 18 CR
