Those few ''I need a timeline for this'' fics... *shudders in horror* Just. Most of my expierence with timelines is KHR. This seems fun in the beginning, until you find out that nothing will ever fit and give up on the timeline half way through *laughs*

Amusingly enough, I don’t actually need to keep track of timelines as much when I write for KHR! I mean, sure, I keep a timeline handy to be on the safe side, but a lot of the ideas I’ve gotten aren’t very timeline intensive. I think the last time I really needed to keep a firm watch on the canon timeline while writing for KHR was for Serendipity. And that was a HPxKHR crossover that started well before the main plot of KHR, so.

I’m right there with you fam, the rare fics that do need a strict timeline are insane to write. I mean, I tend to give up midway through  on the timelines, like you said, but until the point where I accept that it doesn’t make a difference anymore....

I'd say @boycottromance 's estimate will be 100% better than mine since I usually plan my fics entirely around that stuff so I don't have to deal with it. Sorry Adel! ��

Also, assuming CSK is around the same time every year, it's late september. I have it as sept 24-27 for the 09/10 season outline, which i think tried to include minimal lying

Uhh, it's kinda l8 for me so i'm going to say wikipedia doesn't answer my q abt later eligibility so i would suggest the ISU website

Prelim announcements (irl) for the 17/18 GP series were late may. Presumably invited skaters (Jpn, usa, canada, china, rus and france can each invite 1 skater to their event i think) and anyone who qualifies season of get assignments later, tho my prelim digging has yet to answer when

Bless the both of you for responding, whew!

@onceabluemoonwrites It’s okay, Blue, I can understand! I usually do post-canon or canon divergence/AU stuff myself, so needing to keep an eye on a timeline has been... fun, this time around. Aaargh.

@boycottromance Yes, I was placing the CSK Championships in the range of 22-25 Sept, since those are the dates for 2016 that I’ve found. Also, ack, announcements as early as May?! The anime seems to have confuzzled me, since watching it gave me the impression that announcements happened right before the CSK Championships. Maybe at best a month before, which would be why I was thinking Mid-August could work. 

Let’s see if I have any luck with the ISU website on the topic of late entries, since that’s definitely what Yuuri would have been. That said, seeing as he’s Japan’s Ace and all, it also feels like he could have been that single country invite. In AHoB’s continuity especially, since he’s hands down the top Japanese single men’s figure skater in it. That silver at Sochi only affirms that. Also, eep, this probably caught you really late! I figured that you would have turned in by now. ^^;; 

Let’s see how much more I managed to get typed out before you’re awake... *wry grin*

I like this style of a timeline poster as the dates do not follow a traditional "line" but instead have there own lines drawing the viewers eye to the illustration and type in the corner.

khr doesn't have one while in p5 you function by the calender

i-w-p-chan replied to your post “onceabluemoonwrites replied to your post “onceabluemoonwrites...”

one reason my p5 fic are getting so monstrously huge compared to my khr fics: timelines

Ah man. I feel your pain, P-chan. The set timeline makes life easier in terms of plotting, but there’s always SO. MUCH. HAPPENING. in P5. And having a full fledged timeline to refer to makes it tempting to keep referring to it and plotting based on it.

Major Historical events in the 1950s

1950 – USA approves Hydrogen Bomb construction

1950 – First organ transplant (kidney)

1950 – Korean War starts

1951 – Colour TV is introduced

1953 – Stalin’s death

1953 – DNA discovery

1954 – First atomic submarine

1954 – Birth control pill trials began

1955 – Warsaw Pact is signed

1955 – Churchill is re-elected Prime Minister in UK

1955 – Vietnam War starts

1957 – Soviet Satellite ‘Sputnik’ is launched

1958 – NORAD radar system starts operations

The 1950s were the first decade with the new political global order with two main blocks (NATO/Warsaw Pact). The cold war started and wars began to be fought at the edges of these two blocks (see Korean and Vietnam war). Economically, it was a period of relative growth after the crisis of the 1930s which led to the WWII. Larger parts of the society (at least in the Western World) started to have access to houses, cars and new devices such as Television, which changed the way information was transmitted. Science and technology were further developed, with new discoveries in medicine and biology on one side, and the beginning of space race as a symbol of the competition between USA and Russia.
