The Private Diary of Elizabeth Quatermain
The stories are found on two different archives, FanFiction.net (FFN) and the League of Extraordinary Fanfiction (LXF). Not knowing which you might prefer, I'll put the links to each story on both archives. They are listed in the chronological order in which the events took place, which is not necessarily the order in which they were written. Anyway, here we go.
- The Private Diary of Elizabeth Quatermain
The adventures begin. Following the events of the movie, Allan Quatermain's daughter works with the League to solve a mystery her father left behind, as told to her personal journal.

- While She Was Sleeping
A missing moment from the original "Private Diary of Elizabeth Quatermain." While Elizabeth recovers from her experiences in Paris, the League discusses what to do with her -- and learns why Nemo wants her to remain.

- Legend of the Great White Hunter: The Movie Trailer
Just a bit of fun, really. If the events of the first diary were used to make a sequel to the original film, the trailer might look something like this.

- Volume II: The Egypt Chronicle
"All for Egypt" was the call at the end of her first diary. Elizabeth Quatermain continues to document the exploits of the League as they travel in the land of the pharaohs. A famous new friend and a dangerous ancient evil make their Nile voyage an unforgettable adventure.

- Volume III: The Wintering
Elizabeth maintains her position as the League's unofficial historian. This installment will see them pass the winter by visiting tropical countries, exchanging Christmas gifts, and celebrating the marriage of two of their own. But will it all be quiet and peaceful? Not likely.

- Athena's Twilight
A missing moment from the first chapter of volume III. Henry Jekyll looks back on his relationship with a certain someone as he mentally prepares himself for a very important event.

- Elizabeth's Shield
Another missing moment story, of sorts; this one corresponds to a number of events throughout the series thus far, particularly a few in volume III. Skinner ruminates on Elizabeth, their relationship, and his role as her protector.

- The Doctor's Notes
Another missing moment from volume III. Jekyll records his observations during the dysentery outbreak in chapter eight, when the regular diarist succumbs to fever.

- Behind the Wall
The last (whew!) missing scene in volume III. Skinner provides his point of view on the unexpected event recorded in chapter ten.
LXF
- Volume IV: Only in America
The League heads for America and the hometown of Tom Sawyer. Along the way they go to a ball, somebody's heart gets broken, somebody gets blackmailed, somebody gets his life threatened, and there's a wedding nobody wants to see.

- Only in America: Skinner's Story
Because circumstances separate Elizabeth from Skinner a great deal during the events of volume IV, I wrote this companion piece. It follows the same storyline, but is told from Skinner's point of view, as though he were writing in a diary. It shows all the events and thoughts to which Elizabeth was not privy.

- Volume V: Tartan Holiday
The last Private Diary of Elizabeth Quatermain! While Mina tries to find out what became of her son, and Skinner tries to ask a certain question, the League is called on to locate one of Britain's greatest heroes, now missing in action.

- Allan Observes
While trying to coax the muse out of hiding so I could get to work on volume V, I stumbled across a review suggesting that I retell the story of the series from Allan's point of view as he observes from the afterlife. The result was this unexpectedly funny, Bridget Jones-esque version of events in which I get to make a lot of sarcastic remarks about my own writing. Extremely spoiler-laden, so it shouldn't be read before the main parts of the series, but fans of Elizabeth's diary should get a kick out of her father's observations.
