This makes it consistent no matter when the book/story takes place. 

 THE ALL-PRO story begins on January 2, 2684, the title would be: "THE ALL-PRO, Book 3 of the GFL Series (Siglerverse 2684.1.2)

more like 26840102.?? - start of date? would that be 01- 1 am? 23 = 11 pm?
Keep all the .'s out except for the part of the day.

This way if you have a story that happens to start say at 10pm and one that starts at noon on the same day, it would look like:

 26840102.12 - Story starting at noon
 26840102.22 - Story starting at 10pm

 Heck you could expand it to mins too if need be.

 26840102.0930 -  9:30 pm
 26840102.2205 - 10:05 pm

Then things that happen in the "current times"
 20120119.1004 - when i was typing this in.

this makes it possible to have a story take place any time and just simply show when the story "starts". 

Problem is, what if the story "jumps" around in time?  Could you use the #'s for chapter headings?
