Timeline: S8 - S9

[hells_half_acre]

SEASON 8

NOTE: In S8 there is another one year time jump. Much like S6, the Supernatural team has not actually skipped a year chronologically, even though they’ve skipped a year in the narrative. So, if you want the dates to be in chronological time, you will have to add 2 years to all dates listed. Any date marked with two asterisks ** need only

Wow. I tip my hat to your awesome chronological skills!

This gives me another reason to want an Impala. I want the ability to drive 100 miles in ten minutes!

[hells_half_acre]

Haha, yeah, if only... maybe the Impala is secretly a private jet... though I don't think Dean would be cool with that. :P

And yet again you do battle with the logistics of space and time to wrestle some semblance of order out of chaos--I salute your dedication (and worry about your sanity :D )

[hells_half_acre]

Haha, my sanity thanks you for your concern, or would, if it existed. ;)

Congratulations on getting S9 timeline done. Although a lot of dates are missing, it is still nice to put a general timeframe into these episodes.

[hells_half_acre]

Thanks! They gave me very little to work with this year.

[fledge]

I suspect someone told them about your diligence and they were deliberately fudging *g*

[hells_half_acre]

Yeah... I've suspected the same over years - not sure if that makes me paranoid or not. :P

I don't really go here anymore, fandom-wise, but I wanted to bless and thank you for this beautiful thing you've created. It's honestly a wonder. <3

[hells_half_acre]

Thanks!

Have you moved to a different fandom, or just off of LJ? I'm just curious. Maybe, some day, I'll do it again for another show. :)

[smiling_gurl]

Both, actually! I didn't so much move on from SPN as drop out, or, shall we say I'm taking a sabbatical for my health. P: I'd already drifted a little during the hiatus between 8 and 9, then when 9 started airing there were a lot of shenanigans I felt were bad in a small space of time so I swore it off completely for a while. And now I'm kind of drifting back, but read enough goodawesomelovely fan stuffs that returning to canon is jarring, you know?
(*Edit, also I followed the migration over to Tumblr a while ago, but I'm drifting back to LJ now a little too. It's funny how stuff works in cycles sometimes.)
Any other fandom that you chose to do another timeline for would be honoured by it, I'm sure. :)

[hells_half_acre]

Cool. I'm always curious about this stuff. I've lost a little interest in SPN over the years, but I still like my projects, so I doubt I'll ever leave the show completely.

I got a tumblr two a while ago, but I guess I'm not very good at tumbling, because I've got far more readers/followers here on LJ than I do on tumblr. Perhaps because tumblr just isn't the best platform for the types of projects and discussions that I'm interested in. It's more of a pretty-pictures place.

I started working on a Timeline for Teen Wolf, it's an "internal" timeline where I only timeline episodes as they relate to each other, rather than as they relate to "real time"... there are a lot of good timelines for Teen Wolf out there though. When I did Supernatural, there really wasn't anyone doing as comprehensive a timeline as mine.

Anyway, I'm glad you're drifting back to LJ now. Thanks for stopping by and saying nice things to me! I appreciate it. :)

Directed here from the Supernatural Wiki and these are amazing. Just wanted to point out something helpful, for the timing on "Bloodlines": I skipped this episode, so I'm not sure which school is in question here or if they even specify, but the University of Chicago, for example, runs on a quarter schedule. So the school year is made up of 3 quarters and 1 summer quarter, which would mean that Spring finals WOULD be in June.

[hells_half_acre]

Thanks. Really? And the summer "quarter" isn't truncated? Because, if it's three "quarters" where's the fourth quarter?

I could look it up! I guess! :P More work for me! Still, good to know if that's the case. It wouldn't make any sense weather-wise, but it would make way more sense timeline-wise. And, hey, it wouldn't be the first episode to have preposterous weather for location/time of year, since we had a snow-storm in Missouri in May (I think) in the very first season.

[randomdent]

Sorry, the summer quarter IS the fourth. So the normal school year is three quarters with summer being the fourth. So in the fall, they start a bit later than other schools do. You can see their current schedule here: http://www.uchicago.edu/academics/calendar/

I only know this cause my best friend and my HS boyfriend both went there for undergrad (many, many years ago).

I've been organizing a lot of Supernatural info since I watched, and the one thing I realized is this show has absolutely no regard for any timeline. Bah!

[hells_half_acre]

Okay, I just totally looked it up, and it IS completely different than what I'm used to when it comes to University schedules...

You're completely right! I should never have doubted you! My comment about the weather still stands, but other than that, cool tools. I'll go add a note to the Wiki too!
