"Suzumiya Haruhi" series first appeared in the June 2003 issue of The Sneaker, released on 4/30/03.
By the way, the debut chapter was "Suzumiya Haruhi no Taikutsu" (the baseball episode).
The first novel volume, "Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu", was released a little over a month later (6/10/03).
In other words, Tanigawa-san started with the magazine serialization and novel volume release at the same time (although at the time it was only meant to be a one-shot story written as an entry for the Sneaker awards (which it won)).
Tanigawa-san pretty much stayed like that since then: short stories for the magazine serialization, and an original long story for a novel volume every once in a while (like Shoushitsu (vol.4) and Inbou (vol.7), for example).
