In my ficverse, I've set the events as occurring between 1999 to 2000. But I like the timeframes that others have come up with as well. Like Tiago, I also believe that the series doesn't necessarily take place in any particular decade.

I guess everyone thinks that. Though I think it takes place during an alternate 1938/39. So, I guess VFD started WW2. Idiots

No one's going to post their timelines here?

I'll post one when I'm finished with all my fanfiction. That should take a while. XD lol

Here is my timeline, which I wrote last year. It was a pain to do, and I know I've forgotten to include a few important details. So, if anyone reads it and has any questions, feel free to ask me.

I really like freebird's timeline, as well. It's cool that somebody chose to set the events of the books in the 1970s. The only thing preventing me from doing so is the fact that, in my ficverse, Quigley Quagmire is sort of my Marty McFly stand-in. Also, I had laid out the seventeen year increments concerning the deconstruction of the VFD (1948, 1965, 1982, and 1999). 1948 would be when Kit was young, 1965 was the VFD meeting mentioned in TUA, 1982 was the events of The Penultimate Peril, and 1999 was when The Bad Beginning was written.

It's great to see you back on the board, Quags! *hugs* I've missed ya! And yes, I agree that it's quite difficult to do a complete reconstruction of a fiverse once you've thought out all of the details and gotten everything where you want it. I redid the dates on my timeline at least twice - it got to the point where I thought my head was going to explode! - but it was well worth it in the end. By the way, I've always thought it was so cool the way you imagine the two Quagmire boys looking like Marty McFly/Michael J. Fox. Had the ASoUE books come out in the '80s and there were at least five films, Michael would have made the perfect Quigley and Duncan.

It's great to see you again, as well, Emma. I suppose we should probably pick back up on one of RPGs again.
Freebird, if you're interested, our RPG is called Opening Up. It combines my BTTF Universe with Emma's ASOUE Universe - so, as such, Jerome is about the same age as Marty (and he doesn't look like Crispin Glover).

PM me whenever you're interested in picking it up again. Yeah, I have my own version of what Jerome looks like. In my head, he's 6'1" and chubby, with dark brown hair and green eyes. He wears glasses, but only for reading.

Agreed! You did an excellent job on this! It's always interesting to see how others' interpret the dates and ages of the characters. Like you, I always saw Klaus and Carmelita being the same age. Though I recently changed it so that they're two years apart, Carmelita being the younger of the two. I wouldn't judge a person's age based on their maturity. I think Carmelita just acts a lot younger than she is.

Yeah, you're probably right. I always thought she looked to be around twelve in Brett Helquist's illustrations.

Aha! I have been studying my family history all afternoon and this is what I've discovered! *insert evil cackle here* 1355: Olaf I is born. 1383: Olaf I’s home is burnt down. His wife and ten year old child are killed. 1384: VFD begins. 1386: Olaf I remarries. 1387: Olaf II is born. 1436: Olaf III is born. 1444: Asia begins VFD. 1453: Olaf IV is born. 1475: Olaf V is born. 1494: Olaf VI is born. 1517: Olaf VII is born. 1551: Olaf VIII: is born. 1574: Olaf IX is born. 1624: Olaf X is born. 1640: VFD has travelled to every country in the world. 1651: Olaf XI is born. 1676: Olaf XII is born. 1698: Olaf XIII is born. 1726: Olaf XIV is born. 1738: Olaf XIII goes mad. 1739: VFD Schism is started in Sweden. 1740: VFD Sweden branch dies out. 1750: Olaf XV is born. 1771: Schism starts in the American branch. 1787: Olaf XVI is born. 1818: Olaf XVII is born. 1847: Olaf XVIII is born. 1891: Olaf XIX is born. 1905: Olaf XIX starts VFD Training School. 1901: Emigrates from Sweden to America. 1914: Starts Vile Fictional Displays and becomes a stage actor. Also dates Esme Horowitz. 1918: Joshua Snicket is born and dies at birth. Olaf XIX turns emo. 1924: Olaf XVIII and his wife are poisoned to death. Olaf XIX becomes purely evil. Violet is born. 1926: Klaus is born. 1937: Sunny is born. 1938: ASOUE begins. 1939: Olaf XIX dies. VFD starts WW2. What! How did Count Olaf access my account? Sorry about the errors. I'm not really the brightest bulb in the drawer I'll fill the rest in soon, I hope. And I've just realised that Esme was thirteen when she first dated Olaf. Jeez!

Very interesting timeline, Beth! And wow - just look at all the Olafs! I'm also curious about how and why V.F.D. started WWII. As for Esme being just thirteen when she first dated Olaf, it isn't too surprising, considering Kit's age in your fic when she and Olaf first got together.
