OK, this one seems to be foundering a bit, let's have some clues:
ECoM - novel, 1890s
TAM - novel, 1960s
TAT - film, 1970s
FM - short story, 1980s
TTS - novel, 1990s
W13 - TV series, 2000s
Some of these are well known, others a bit less obvious. MBPs will be awarded appropriately...

Helena Wells, a scientist who also wrote fiction which her brother published for her. Lots of references to Wells' SF e.g. she was working on time travel, was frozen for 70 years or so, and so on. That's an answer, but a pretty easy one so no MBP.

I really enjoyed
Warehouse 13 when it started. I disliked the Wells character, I thought that was where it went wrong.
