canon details/info about brian's and justin's childhoods?

Hey there. :)

I've only recently come into QAF fandom, and there is a story I want to write for which I need some info, any bits of canon-based detail about Justin's childhood, especially, but also Brian's. I know there's a lot of fanon out there, and it's running around in my brain but what I really need and what I was just wondering about is if there are/were any resource pages around, or if the Showtime webpage had ever posted that sort of stuff? Or if someone compiled a timeline or events from B's/J's childhoods based on snippets/quotes from the episodes?

Any suggestions/links/resources/quotes etc would be greatly appreciated. I'll probably end up over-researching, as is my habit, but hopefully it will lead to a good fic in the end. :)

There really isn't much canon in that regard. Justin comes to us at 17, and the only thing I really recall is Jennifer saying that she used to take Justin to the art gallery when he was a kid, and later that she hadn't danced with him in a long time. That scene was in 512, IIRC.

For Brian, the only canon we're given is that his mom said that she had to keep Jack from hitting him by letting him hit her. That he met Michael at age 14, where Michael says that there was a new boy in school. So either Brian lived in a different part of town, and transferred to Michael's school, or he lived somewhere else. I'm thinking just a different part of town, since Pittsburgh is a fairly large city, and probably has different school districts and zoning, like Sacramento.

Others might fill in the gaps here.

Thank you! I remember those, and the bowling-with-Michael flashback... so hopefully I haven't overlooked anything. Do you know, was Justin falling out of a tree & breaking his arm canon, or am I mixing it up with a fic?

Not that I remember. Jennifer said he was determined to ride his two wheeler, even after falling off. That's in 201 when she's talking to the doctor.

*notes* Thanks again! Not that I would *mind* rewatching the whole series, you know, but it would take some time and that, at the moment, is practically nonexistent... This way at least I can be organizing notes/scribbling a framework whenever I have a spare moment. :)
