The Writing Of The Technic History

See here for "A Chronology of the Writing of the Technic History."

The earliest items, from 1951 to '63, outline the framework of the History:

van Rijn;
Troubles;
early Empire;
Flandry;
Long Night.

After a gap, Falkayn arrives in '66, appears a second time that year and then again in '67. The Ythrians, a major part of the History, do not appear until 1972 and then all six of their remaining appearances are published in 1973!

Adzel's student days are mentioned in 1971, then described in '74. There are more and longer gaps after '74. The earliest story in terms of the fictitious chronology is published in 1981. The Flandry period is still being expanded in '85. 1951-'85: thirty four years from start to finish; forty three installments and all too short.

Addendum, 3 Nov: The Chronology omits the publication of The Earth Book Of Stormgate in 1978 or '79. This is a further Ythrian contribution since Hloch of Stormgate Choth introduces the stories in the Earth Book.
