What time?

Hey! I'm sorry because I know this is illigal here because I'm not searching for a fic but I really need to know something.

I'm writing one fic and I need some information to it. Can somebody tell me what time of the year (month would be nice because I know we don't know the exact dates) these happened:

- B and J met
- J left his home and moved to Deb
- Prom
- J met Ian
- episode 308

FOUND: Thank you so much for the info! You guys were fast!

I always thought the ending of Season 2 and all of Season 3 just didn't make sense timeline wise. That's why I kinda gave up trying to figure anything out. And because of that Mel seems like she was pregnant for way more than 9 months. I heard it was around 14 months! XDD

I've always thought the real reason for the screwy timeline and inconsistencies in some of the dialogue, is the way shows are sometimes run on cable with several months and up to a year on hiatus before they come back.

I think the writers simply wrote it in their real time and never considered the time elapsed for the characters. Like they were writing an episode in 2004, but the show had already been off for a year, so it was still 2003 for the characters...that's why the Liberty Ride sign says "Liberty Ride 2004, but Mel's baby was supposed to be born in 2003...

The real reason was the schedule of filming, from fall to late spring in Toronto. We used to joke that Pittsburgh was the land of no summer because by the time they started filming it was almost always already cold -- see poor Peter running around at the fairy gathering -- the poor guy was FREEZING! The same with 501 -- all those naked guys supposedly were in California, but they were actually outside in Toronto and it was about 40 degrees.

The timeline doesn't jive, so my suggestion is to create your own for your fics -- fics are non-canon anyway, so when even canon doesn't make sense, no one is going to knock you for it!
