On Raylan Givens.
I have been doing a lot of character work on Raylan Givens and it's spread out all over the place, so this is me trying keep everything under one roof so I know what I have worked out and what still needs pondering. This is not a story. Repeat. This is not a story. This is just character building work so that I can eventually write myself some

I feel like I should be able to help with a Kentucky primer, but I more know Western KY and Louisville, and I haven't spent much time there since I was a kid. Certainly I don't know the beer habits from then. ;) I suspect WalMart has taken over a lot of the grocery business at this point, but I remember going to Kroger. It's UK btw not UoK, and while there are a ton of colleges in KY, U of L or UK are *the* schools to go to (and Louisville is the den of sin in KY, so I can imagine Raylan going to either school to get the hell out of Harlan - maybe it was the Marshalls that got him out of KY, rather than college). Though hrm, he actually might have gone to Berea (Xian school where folks work their way thru, so anyone can go regardless of income).
Totally agree with you about Boyd/Raylan in the past. I'm super excited you're thinking of writing anything in this fandom.

And yay for Kentucky knowledge! I'm gonna think that Kroger was the place to shop back in 1990, which is around when Raylan left. I chose Florida strictly for the shirt Raylan was wearing, and also cause that was the field office that he got banished from. And because Raylan said he left Kentucky and never looked back. He never wanted to come back, so I'm gonna assume when he went to college he straight up left. I do know that he had to have a college degree to become a Marshall though (thanks maurheti!)
I find myself doing a lot of wheel spinning with this fandom, it's just a matter of getting some traction.
