Our Best Guesses
Stories below this point we assume were written in 1996, before we started noting publication dates on the archive. We guessed based on episodes mentioned in authors' notes -- or characters that appear in the story: Any story mentioning Max Deter couldn't have been written before 1996, for example. (If you're curious when episodes aired originally, check our cheat sheet.) If you're an oldtimer who knows which year these stories were made available to readers, please let us know.
