== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Gundam]]'' has a different Year Zero for each of its [[Alternate Universe]]s, though they were invented by the creators rather than the fans. Interestingly, each series takes place decades after its timeline's Year Zero, and only rarely is the Year Zero explicitly tied to a specific event.
** U.C. 0001, the first year in the original ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'''s Universal Century, is the year in which migration to space begins, and as revealed in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn]]'' (the first UC series to make reference to that year) is also tied to the actions of a young Syam Vist.
Line 27:
== Comic Books ==
* After the [[Crisis Crossover]] ''Zero Hour'', [[DC Comics]] put out a timelime showing where different events had happened in current continuity relative to "X years ago", thus sidestepping the question of [[Comic Book Time]].
== Fan Works ==
* [[The Teraverse]] has an informal reckoning of years based on Terawatt's first appearance. It doesn't appear to have fully migrated into an [[In-Universe]] usage, but on the master calendar of the [[The Verse|'verse]] and in the section headers of many stories you will see dates noted as "thus-and-such years A.T." (After Terawatt).

== Live Action TV ==
* ''[[Andromeda]]'' measures years in Commonwealth Years, which starts with the beginning of the Vedran Empire, making time in the series very non-specific. However, [[All There in the Manual|extended material]] gives the Commonwealth date for when Friedrich Nietzsche published "Thus Spake Zarathustra", a definite date in our time system, so assuming they use the same years as we do (years based on the cycle of Tarn Vedra rather than Earth, though the difference can't be too much), it creates a good guess of the timeline of the series.
* The [https://web.archive.org/web/20131023052513/http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Timeline_(RDM) Battlestar Wiki Timeline] measures time from the Cylon holocaust depicted in the ''[[Battlestar Galactica
* The current year is never mentioned in any season of ''[[24]]'', but the amount of time between days (16 months between Day 1 and 2, three years between Day 2 and 3, etc) is always established and can be used to determine how many years it has been since Day 1. In addition, fans have used various clues to formulate the following timeline:
** Day 1: Tuesday, March 2, 2004
