Hi!
I'm writing a BtVS/SG-1 crossover story, and as a nerd and nitpicker, I'm trying to get the dates of the events to work together as much as possible. I'm finding it very difficult, though, as one Stargate season is meant to wrap around a year without any major break (because of their cliffhanger-ending style), whilst one Buffy season pretty much happens at the same time as it's being aired (Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas episodes are aired around the right time of the year, Buffy's birthday always happens at the same time of the year, etc).
How would you go around this? Has anyone tried to create a Stargate timeline with dates as to when events are supposed to happen (taking into account things like "100 days" spans overs 3 months, and "Window of Opportunity" spans over at least that, too)? That would be really useful. Or should I just give up getting dates to work together, and just write what seems best, plot-wise? Will SG-1 fans notice if an event happens in June rather than in November?
Any help greatly appreciated!
Edit: this story is set in the summer between Season 4 and Season 5 of BtVS (June to end of September, approx), and in Stargate's S4 (at least after "Beneath the Surface").
