oh qaf, how you have no freaking timelines....

So, thanks to our oh-so-very-wonderful-and-crap [livejournal.com profile] josselin, I finished the end of Stumble and Fall. This leaves a freaking load of *middle* to cover, but technically, I *did* it, dammit, and I am owed sequel and Joanie and good things, chica.

I so mean this.

A while back, I came to accept that I have no clue whatsoever about QaF timelines. They don't tell me, they don't even give me a decent *holiday*, pretty much all I have is Gus' birthday to work with as a start point and an election to end date for season three. God alone knows what kinds of liberties I have taken with timing. At this point, when I'm about thirty pages away from this thing being *finished*? I'm shockingly uncaring.

This is so frustrating I could *scream*.

Except that would be boring.

Pointless post brought to you by sugar/chocolate high of choclate chip chocolate cookie bars.

I want cheetos. I *need* cheetos. In the worst way.

cookies!

I adore your young writer of slash ICON. Cute,cute,cute.

Have started watching Season two of QaF today, the theme is playing in the back ground, lala. Yep, I do believe you have converted me to the temple of Brian and Justin love.

No cheetos, evil cheetos.

*g* Vee

*grins* Conversion is always welcome. *hee* They are so worshipible. And hot. And tend to have sex at the drop of a hat. Always welcome.

Katherine made that icon. I just adore it. *sighs happily*

Oh, time is a fickle, flexible fluid thing in Qaf-land...

In re-watching 308 Ben references Christmas yet unless it's a freaky election- *most* Mayoral elections take place in Nov so 314 could presumably be Nov and then throw in Mel being at the end of her first trimester- so 3 months after conception which was in 307? and if there was a month inbetween 307 & 308 per Daphne's talk with Justin- that means events of 308-314 progressed over 2 months...ouch, my brain is starting to hurt...

My head hurts too.

I *think* having now slept on it with a nap- that the time trick- is while it's a year inbetween start of 1x01 and 2x02, it's not a year inbetween 2x02 and 3x02/3. 3x01 picks up directly after (albeit with it's weird flashback structure) 2x22, but the total season can no longer be considered a full year.

In fact- it's during S3 when time gets most wonky- because the previous 'anniversaries' or 'birthdays' are no longer celebrated- we don't see Gus' 2nd birthday & therefore the anniversary of Brian & Justin meeting. Rather inexplicably- we don't again commemorate Brian's birthday- (and personally 31 was more traumatic than 30- hence why I celebrated 30 again) and with it a few days later the annivesary of the bashing. Justin & Ben's joint birthday doesn't come up again- although Brian references its approach in 310? or was it 311? Did anyone else ever get a birthday? S3 brings a 'new' anniversary for Mel & Linds- in order to serve plot of bringing everyone to their house & the 'punch'- since it couldn't be their Actual wedding anniversary. They have some 'contraint' challenges with new season since Mel is pregnant- but nothing is tied to an actualy calendar.

Ok, brain is back to hurting again.

Timelines are not pertinent. Are you giving my Justin a happy ending? That is pertinent.

::has priorities::

Don't say Cheetos. You'll have me craving them, and that would be a really bad thing right now.

From: [identity profile] seperis.livejournal.com Date: 2004-03-21 06:40 pm (UTC)
*curious* You know what I consider a happy ending. What do you think?

*grins*

Dude, if there's branding, I'm so there. *G*

Stumble and Fall

I am very happy to hear that. Congratulations.

It hates me. *whimpers* It. Hates. Me.

From: [identity profile] josselin.livejournal.com Date: 2004-03-21 06:55 pm (UTC)
It doesn't hate you. Stop whining. Brian names the baby Dick, what more could you want?

Hi

Not really related to your post, except that I agree with you about nebulous QAF timelines. I just friended you, for oh so many reasons. I found you first through Smallville, and now I'm also into QAF. You have such great posts, and I finally decided I needed to come out of lurkerdom and let you know. No real need to friend me back; I'm just using my journal to read and comment. Ciao!

dude. it's gonna be awesome. (and you can just keep telling yourself that until it's done.)

and if it totally sucks, i'll still be sitting there as your #1 (and only) fan, because my love-buzz still hasn't worn off from when i read "sleep while i drive." and that was like, a long time ago.

Hey, it's altricial, I changed my LJ name yesterday... mind adding me back on this one? :D *plebe*
