#rough timeline

[ponds-of-ink]

All right, y’all wanna see my personal rough William Afton timeline? I’ve been teasing it through the @willynillynonsense/@burnt-basement-bunny (aka @plushmenace) RP collab, but I think I’m ready to get this out of my system.

And in case anyone’s wondering, yes this’ll include the games too.

The Cassandra Project Rough Timeline

This is what I have for a timeline; I wanted to make it fairly generous to try to avoid any clusterfuckery.  It does push the release back a month, but that also means I’m not trying to do layout during Rocky Horror (and, hopefully, I can get the worst of it done pre-Black Friday).  I’m not opposed to a little fine-tuning, but we do need to start cranking into gear.

July 15th: Signups close

September 16th: Rough drafts due

November 4th: Final drafts due

December 2nd:  Book becomes available for purchase on Etsy.

I might try to set up some kind of pre-order system so I know how much work I have to do.  I feel like it should be doable, but I have to double-check.

ALSO -- we still need to pick a charity to raise funds for.  I’m partial to the ACLU; I know someone else mentioned the Human Rights Campaign.  Anyone got a vote?

I’m going to get guidelines for submissions up probably Monday or Wednesday; I’ll also try to hash out one last recruitment post to go around.  For those of you who’ve already signed up, please like or reply to this post so I know you’ve seen it -- I’ll message or send asks to the people who haven’t replied on Monday.

oneofamyriadfaces asked grumpylokeanelder:

Hello GLE, I *love* the timeline post!! There's just one thing that I'm missing, and that is in the bottom section: could you please add rough numbers indicating what you mean by "old" and "more recent"? (Thing about Lokasenna e.g., that I think most people put at around 1200, whcih I'd say isn't exactly *old*, but that's a matter of semantics... and you also mark it as debated. But does that mean 1200 should be seen as "old" and the debates are about even later dates? (grr, no characters left!)

Dear oneofamyriadfaces, Unfortunately, Einar Ólafur Sveinsson isn't clear about what dates he means. He doesn't say much about it in Dating the Icelandic Sagas and the cited work from him in A Companion to Old Norse-Icelandic Literature and Culture doesn't specify hard dates, just lists each piece of the Eddas relative to one another. This is one of those tricky things where scholarly work is largely scholars talking to one another and not accounting for other people reading their work (much like when it's assumed the reader is fluent in several languages so no translation is needed, or that the reader is already familiar with a referenced author's body of works, already knows about particular archaeological finds, etc). I'm sure Mr. Sveinsson has mentioned it somewhere, but I cannot find any references to specific dates in the pieces I'm finding.
