I've always been a fan of reading timelines for fictional characters, and also creating them myself. I've posted a few of them here which I hope you will find as interesting as I do. Here's a few of them below:
The Earth-44 Timeline: This is my "magnum opus". It started out as an attempt to reconcile the various Superman continuities. Once I'd done that, I folded in Batman, and it just sort of grew from there, as I folded in every continuity I could reasonably fit in (and several that I couldn't) into one grand timeline of almost everything! I'm constantly in the process of updating and editing it, so that it's constantly growing and changing!
"My" Doctor Who Timeline: This is my attempt to establish a coherent timeline for the favorite TV show - at least as "coherent" as can be for a show of which one-time script editor Terrance Dicks once said "Continuity was what the writer could remember at a given time." This is not to be confused with the List of Doctor Who Threads, which contains discussions relating to the TV show.
My Fifty Favorite Movies Timeline: Having compiled a list of my fifty favorite movies, I decided to try to create a timeline just for the continuities of these pictures. Not an easy thing - it's hard to reconcile the "futures" of Star Trek and Planet of the Apes.
Universal Horror Movie Timeline: This is my attempt to reconcile the continuity of the Universal horror movies.
A Short Timeline of the Beechlerverse: This was part of a challenge I gave myself to do a timeline of continuities that I am unfamiliar. I picked on my good friend Doctor Beechler, since he likes alot of things that I'm not particularly into.
A "Japanese Timeline": This is my attempt at creating a coherent timeline for all of the bits of Japanese popular culture with which I am familiar.
A Super-Hero Timeline: A timeline including as many super-heroes as I could fit into it.
Anyway, those are my timelines to date. I'm always working on existing timelines and adding more, so stop by, take a look, and come up with some timelines of your own!
Also, I've decided to list some of my threads that aren't about timelines:

Currently I'm working on annotating the Earth-44 timeline. I'm up to about 1940 - there's lots of obscure Golden Age heroes to research!
More updates to Earth-44, this time for AD 453, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
Hello, all! Work's been hectic lately, so I haven't gotten as much posted here as I would've liked to. I have been working on the annotation for the Earth-44 timeline - I'm up to 1942. I've also got some other ideas that I hope to be able to put together here soon!
So why is it called the Earth 44 timeline?
"44" was the number of the house I grew up in.
Updated the notes for Earth-44 through 1947. It's interesting to see how precipitately the number of new super-heroes per year seems to have dropped off from about 1943 on.
Updated the notes for Earth-44 through 1960. The 1960's are going to take awile.
Updated this with links for several of my movie and TV threads. Please let me know if you find any I missed.
I miss The Baron Watches My Little Pony, but apparently I'm the only one who still remembers that timeline.
