Joan Marries Craig?

[mysid.livejournal.com]

Apparently, there exists more than one AU in which Jennifer Taylor marries Jack Kinney, thus making Brian and Justin stepbrothers. My suspension of disbelief fails to kick in at the idea of Jennifer being tasteless enough to marry Jack.

However, the idea of Joan Kinney marrying Craig Taylor doesn't seem as far fetched, especially if, as AU's often do, one minimizes the age differences between all the relevant parties. So, does such a fic exist?

ETA: Despite the high comment count, no such fics have been found--yet.

I always assumed since Jennifer went to college, and married Craig just after college, that she was about 23 when Justin was born. And I always pictured Jennifer as having been in a sorority. She says, in the episode where Justin goes to Daphne's party and has sex with Kyle, that she did some pretty wild things in college.

I agree with you about Jennifer's age. Given that we know she went to college before marrying Craig, she had to have been at least 23ish when Justin was born--and likely older than that.

My mom married a month after college and had me a year later; she was 23 when I was born. I got married a year after college, delayed kids a few years, got delayed longer by infertility problems, and had my first kid at 30.

I have to laugh at your "pretty wild things" = sorority. I was in a sorority, and no "wild things" in my past.

Oh, haha, I wasn't actually thinking of it as "pretty wild things" = sorority.

She says to Brian and Justin that she did some "pretty wild things" (which I tend to think were things like skinny dipping once in mixed company, and on a French club trip to France having drinks with a married Frenchman: things Brian would find incredibly vanilla, whatever they were).

But I think Jennifer was in a sorority just because she's an upper middle class WASP of a certain age and a certain air.... Like, to be her age and of her social standing, joining a sorority would have been almost mandatory. And Jennifer doesn't learn to have her own opinions until after her son gets bashed, so she would have done what was expected.
If that makes sense.

She still strikes me as a young-acting mom -- way too young for someone like Jack Kinney,
who is in his 60's!

But we were discussing Joan/Craig, not Jennifer/Jack. The latter doesn't work for me for any number of reasons.
