The Josef Mongola Timeline

With The Josef Mongola series growing to five stories and with plans for more in the future, I figured I’d use this one-stop guide to link all the stories together and explain the timeline a little better since it’s more ambiguous than I expected. As more stories get added I will update this page as I go.

Currently the release order is;
Breaking The Family Bond,

The Sweetheart Arc:
Broken,
Josef & The Awful Technicolor Smarty Herd,
Mummah Knows Best,
Frederick’s Filthy Fluffy Farm,
Home Is Where The Sweetheart Is,
Love Persevering,

Favour For A Friend,
Monsters In The Dark,

The Prequel Arc:
Josef Finds A Fluffy,
Hunting Wabbits,
A Second Chance,
Down But Not Out

Too Much Kibble
Ancient History,
The World Is A Fine Place,
Wha Yu Duin Step-Brudda
Good Old Fashioned Abuse,
My Dinner With Crimson,
How Do You Do Fellow Cannibals?,
No Smell Pretty,

The F.A.07 Arc:
Carter’s Creature Comforts,
Not That Nice,
Requiem For A Doctor,
The White Stuff,
God Help The Outcasts

The Hellgremlin Trials,
A Meeting Of The Minds,
Bestesh Daddeh,
Josef’s One Good Deed,
Josef The Troll,
Annihilation

This is the order that I recommend you read the stories in as this was the order in which they were written and the references to past stories and characters make more sense when you’ve read them in release order.

To make sense of the series chronological order, I’ve set up the timeline into stages before and after Josef found Crimson, his personal Hellgremlin, as a way to better explain the timeframe in which each story takes place. Most will come after but I may go Pre-Crimson for a story or two at some point.

Only one timeline? Ha. I’ve got timelines for days!

I don’t think I’ve read your stuff before, but I’ll try to check it out. I’ve got my own catalog, y’know.

Incidentally, if any mods are reading this: you guys really gotta see if you can’t make the website a bit easier to navigate, I’m not the only person who feels this way. One of my regular readers, I’m not naming names, told me that the website is and I quote, “incredibly confusing”, and they were having difficulty reading my stories from the beginning.

I did find your stuff and started going through it, until I realised how interconnected it all was and got overwhelmed.

The effort you’ve put in is fantastic though so I will try again soon

I’ve been trying to add warnings at the top of the stories, if you need to read a story from a different series first.

But take your time. Don’t feel like you gotta power through all of them in one day.

And thank you, by the way! Always happy to get compliments. I wasn’t expecting any when I started out.

I’m sorry, I didn’t know that the complaint had been made before. I can’t help, I’m afraid, I can just about manage a “Hello, World!”

Salright.
The only things holding us back are money time and talent.

Yeah, I get it. We can’t exactly make money off this, otherwise Hasbro would come down hard on all of us. You saw what happened to that fighting game those FIM fans were making, right? Them’s Fightin’ Herds, I think it was called? I never actually got into MLP, mind.

But still, what we’ve got so far isn’t impossible to work with. There’s workarounds.

When I was hunting a software to use to build the site, Discourse seemed to have absolutely everything we needed with the one singular exception of a chronological timeline to browse.
The developers don’t see any need for that.
And it’s the one thing that everyone in our community wants.

Well, I wish you guys the best of luck. If you can manage it, it’ll help everyone here.

Timeline now updated to include all stories whether or not they include Josef, just to get a better perspective of the overall series.

Two Tribes may change, I’ve not decided where it fits in properly yet but for the moment it’s set away from the events of Carter’s and Requiem

Did crimson ever die ? if so which story? i mean i know when josef passed away but i’m unaware of when crimson did

Crimson dies at the end of Breaking The Family Bond. Ironically also the first story he appeared in.

Josef and Crimson were never designed to go beyond their first story. I’m happy they didn’t stay that way

Damn , honestly didn’t expect crimson to well go down from a fluffy attack that easily. Tbh I honestly thought that he was idk some sort of Advanced fluffy of sorts for the longest time.

Since well… i never have seen a fluffy curse before. And he had that Aura of being the strongest .

Like I said, Crimson died in his first story so most of his characterisation occurred after his canonical death.

Granted I could’ve retconned his death but I felt it more interesting to keep him dead in the timeline and work around it

ah i see… When i arrived here i had no idea about that, So i just thought Crimson was a Straight up Super fluffy of sorts that also was a cannibal.

I’m trying to remember, was Harkness first shown in Josef’s timeline, a one off, or was he made just for his own series?

Vincent first appeared in the flashback chapters of Cry Wolf before crossing over with Josef in a few stories then evolving into his own series with Pete, Gus and Victoria
