I actually want to do this in reverse.
I want to do a careful read of the Baroque Cycle trilogy by Neal Stephenson and make a note of the location of every major character for as fine of a time period I can. Then I want to load it all into Timeline (http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/ http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/)

- arihelgason 16y agoIt's a really useful exercise to reverse-engineer a writers work in this way. It gives you a good insight into how they structure plot, flesh out characters etc.
- whatusername 16y agoI've done this for the wheel of time.. Satisfying but a lot of work. (Hoping to put it properly online in the next week or so -- having some hardware issues on my development system)
- InclinedPlane 16y agoI'm upvoting you just for the crazy amount of work that you've put into that. It's hard enough just keeping things straight to a 1st approximation when reading the books, meticulously keeping track of every character is pretty intense.
- whatusername 16y agoOh thanks but I don't deserve it. Compared to some of the sites like enc-wot -- mine is just a hobby. It just tracks things at a Point-of-View level. I did it basically to try and keep track of what the hell was going on before Gathering Storm came out.. wotsummary.com
