Sorry if this question has already come up, I couldn't find it when I searched.
I'm running a bunch of 7-11s in my PFS group to give the VC & VL some high level play opportunities. Now although I have a level 9 PC, I'm only planning to apply one of them to that PC.
Now a player playing a pregen could apply a 7-11 chronicle sheet to a brand new 1st level PC with cash reduced to 500gp and access to the boon. Can I do the same thing with my GM credit?

If the GM with a low-level character runs any higher tier scenarios that don’t include a subtier for her 1st-level rogue, she takes the lowest subtier Chronicle sheet from that scenario and holds it for her PC. Then, once her PC achieves the appropriate level for that Chronicle sheet, it is immediately applied. For example, if a GM with a 1st-level rogue runs a Tier 5–9 scenario, she would take a Subtier 5–6 Chronicle sheet (the lowest subtier for that tier) for running the scenario and set it aside. Once her rogue reaches 5th level, she can immediately apply the Chronicle sheet to her character. This means that GMs’ characters can potentially level up in bursts.
Does not appear to be an option for GMs, only an option for people playing pregens.

Thanks Rob, I'd spotted those two areas in the guide, and noticed the gap in the options. So as far as I can see, the options for GMs applying chronicles are more restrictive than those for players. That kinda sucks. I'd have thought encouraging people to GM would have been important.
I realise I could just apply these to a PC and wait for them to come into play (I can't apply them to my level 9 PC cos they're just one chronicle off tenth and I'm booked to play a 5-9 after I've ran two of the 7-11s) , but then if my 4th level PC dies in the mean time, the chronicles are lost..

There's been some discussion of this being not-intended behavior so it may change in future versions of the guide.
Doesn't help your current position but if you're concerned about the possibility of "losing" the chronicle sheet you could always just choose not to take one as a GM and take it on a later GMing.
