Diary continuity

The diary continuity is one of the three main Monster High continuities, told through the diaries that are included with several lines of dolls. The diary continuity lightly overlaps with the webisode continuity, in that most storyline events are either confirmed to happen in both or implied to happen in both. However, those events do not occur in exactly the same way or in exactly the same order between the continuities, which causes them to be separate continuities.

The diary continuity is a little less story-heavy than the other continuities, but makes up for that by offering a level of insight into the characters that no other continuity does. Technically, the diary continuity encompasses all the information in the doll logs, but it's almost only the diaries that form a storyline.

The fact the diaries are created by a small team makes their continuity a flexible one. The diaries are prone to contain clever explanations to tidbits in both their own continuity and the webisodes', which makes them a vibrant read. On the downside, the continuity is completely dependent on the doll releases. If a certain character does not have a release in one of the diary-containing lines at a certain moment, their story either doesn't continue in sync with the other characters' and may have to awkwardly get back on in a diary entry of a later date, or it is only told through the limited perspective of other characters.

Continuity
Though the diary entries mention the date they were written, they neglect to mention the year, leaving the order a bit muddled. On account of all diaries in a line sharing mention of an event, such as the fight between Clawd and Spectra in the School's Out diaries, it is certain that the diaries of a line describe the months of the same year as one another. Keeping this in mind, the order appears to be as follows:

Year 1:
 * SDCC Frankie Stein's Diary (June 26)
 * Basic diaries (June 30 - September 6)
 * School's Out diaries (September 7 - October 26)
 * Dawn of the Dance diaries (no date, but presumably early-to-mid October)
 * Sweet 1600 diaries (November 11 - February 3)

Year 2:
 * Gloom Beach messages (no date, but presumably March)
 * SDCC Ghoulia Yelps's Diary (no date, but presumably late July)
 * Campus Stroll diaries (July 20 - August 31)
 * Core line v4 diaries (September 9 - November 15)

The Stardoll chat with Draculaura confirmed that her Sweet 1600 happens in 2012. This would mean that Year 2 corresponds to 2012, and Year 1 to 2011.

Continuity hiccups
The diary continuity has few outright continuity errors, but there are holes in the storyline. Most of these can be explained away with a bit of fan creativity, but the canon itself is silent on the matter.


 * Deuce's Year 1, July 18 entry has him meeting Jackson on the casketball court. However, Holt's diary states that he didn't move to the city until Year 1, July 23.
 * Holt mentions going on a date with Operetta in his Year 1, August 10 entry. He also states that Operetta's father is a teacher at Monster High in his Year 1, August 20 entry. Several School's Out diaries corroborate that Operetta is a student at Monster High in Year 1. However, Operetta's diary starts in Year 2, and details how she and her family move to the city in that year.
 * Cleo calls herself a crown princess in her Year 1, August 19 entry. This is Nefera's title, not Cleo's, as confirmed by Cleo's Year 1, October 22 entry and Nefera's Year 2, August 25 entry.
 * In her Year 1, September 15 entry, Draculaura says she broke up with Jackson because he never showed up to their dates. She specifies that the breaking point was a party that according to Holt's diary was on Year 1, August 3. However, Draculaura was very much in love with Jackson until much later according to Clawdeen's Year 1, September 5 entry.
 * Holt's diary ends in Year 1, September 5, and makes it clear he does not know about his alter ego Jackson. Jackson starts his entry of Year 2, September 9 with the revelation he and Jackson have learned about their dual nature. This is a rather late entry considering that according to Frankie's Year 1, November 30 entry, she already knew Jackson and Holt were the same.
 * Jackson's Year 2, September 9 entry states that his mother is a Jekyll/Hyde and his father a fire elemental, and implies it's through his father that he is related to Heath. However, the video game Ghoul Spirit states that it was Jackson and Holt's mother who is the sibling of Heath's father.

- Nefera is on her way to the plane home, but makes a detour to enact vengeance against the models she holds responsible for her loss. At their place, she tells them she wants to give them invitations to an exclusive restaurant she knows the models have been planning to go to as soon as they'll have established a career. She has made reservations for them and the first course will be served in two hours. With a car waiting to drive them to the restaurant too, she bids them farewell. Some hours later when the plane takes off, Nefera amuses herself with fantasies of what it will be like when the models get presented with the bill.

- Meowlody and Purrsephone intend to prank Ghoulia by leading her onto a bad piece of road with lots of holes in it, which all hold rain from the previous evening's storm. However, as they wait for Ghoulia to drive her scooter into a hole, Rochelle lands in front of Ghoulia and warns her about the prank. Meowlody and Purrsephone run off, but Rochelle catches up with them and throws a tirade on how they are mean and should not ever try to pull something like that again.
