Do I dare?

aruanUndertaking the construction of a loose ordering of events is one thing - beginning a hiatus timeline that will inevitably descend into minutae and which will require the kinds of research no one with any sort of life can possibly muster to properly backform? That's just crazy.
Question is, am I just crazy enough?
I wouldn't bother really, maybe get a few things straight and in their proper place in my head, were it not for the authors in this fandom. They do such a fascinating job of incorporating the smaller bits of news that leak out, dramatizing them, making the boys themselves more real. And sometimes, stuff comes up in stories that I have to stop and ponder if it actually happened, but like Angela and I were saying the other night, the fandom barely breathes the words and they basically jump all over it. And really, there isn't much in the way or words we've put in their mouths or actions we've manipulated the puppet strings to make happen. They do their own crotch grabbing, maintain that personal space is but a newfangled pop psych myth all of their own volition, and profess love at every turn freely enough to make the buses seem more like hippie colonies.
So, kids, how many of you keep timelines, and how nuanced?
