"Things must be done decently and in order..."

Well, I've been talking for months (or years) about updating my website, "The Great Mouse Detective: Disney's Underappreciated 26th Animated Film ." I am not only updating the site, but completely re-formating it! HURRAH!

This is a screen-capture of the "Pastiches" section. Over the years, I have accumulated a massive number of characters, stories, and crossovers, so I have been forced to separate them into sections:
Oxford University Chronicles (1873-1877) - Accordingly, Sherlock Holmes only attended two years of university; why this is remains a mystery. For Sherringford Basil, I felt he should complete four years. Oxford was a turning-point in his life. It was here where he decided to pursue a career as a detective, inspired by fellow undergraduate and friend, Oscar Milde.
Montague Street Revisited (1878-1881) - Before Basil was at Baker Street, he (like Holmes) originally lived a block away on Montague Street, just stone-throw from the British Museum, spending most of his time in study and training. The role of "Boswell" was filled by Oscar Milde and his cousin, Dr. Verner.
The Case-Book of the Great Mouse Detective (1881-1897) - Moving into his new rooms at Lower 221B Baker Street, he gained a reputation and cases began to file in by the hundreds. (This takes place before the film.)
The Return of the Great Mouse Detective (1897-1904) - After the "death" of Ratigan, idleness and restlessness took a toll on the detective's health until the outbreak of the criminal underground wars, which resulted in the succession of Captain Sebastian Doran (Ratigan's second-in-command) to Ratigan's throne. (This, if you haven't guessed, takes place directly after the film.)
His Last Bow (1904-1927) - Feeling that his powers had become dulled with his growing age, Basil retired quietly to the Sussex countryside. He excepts cases irregularly until the outbreak of the First World War, where the call of duty brought him out of retirement to the service of Great Britain.
The Rivals of the Great Mouse Detective (circa 1935) - The Great War is over, but another, worse than before, reproaches. Nowadays, the role of the "detective" has been carried over by his "disciples" into a new century.
Star Trek: Titus (2373-2375) - A sci-fi crossover of the Federation starship, USS Titus, during the Dominion War.
Dark Metropolis (circa 2100) - Another sci-fi crossover, one-shot pastiche, where Sherringford Basil comes back from the dead to stop a Professor Ratigan's evil clone in the 22nd century.
I am still debating about inserting a "pre-Oxford" section because Basil's childhood is so mysterious. They are primarily snippets (and/or flashbacks) into his dark existence at the family estate in Sussex, his family holidays in France, bleak boarding school, and Eton College.

So...what to you think?
