Timeline questions about Second City years...

[emilyfairy.livejournal.com]

Okay, I need some background information for my fic series, and I was hoping someone could help me with the timeline here. I hope it's okay that I post this here. I know it's not fic but it's kinda related. :)

I know Ryan goes to Second City to start doing improv there. What year does he go? And which Second City does he join?

I also know Ryan gets Colin an audition at Second City, and Ryan introduces Colin to Deb. How much time is Ryan with Second City alone before Colin joins?

Who got married first? I think it was Colin, but I'm not positive... When did Ryan get married?

What happened after they left Second City? Did Ryan straight away go into Whose Line, or did he do some other things first?

I think the rest of it I have down, I just need to fill in the Second City years and I'll be okay.

Well, thanks for any help that any of you can provide! :) I will credit you and give you lots of praise in my Author's Notes if you give me any information that I use in a fic... *g* And thanks for all the nice feedback on my stories!

Emily :)

I think Colin got married first, because Luke was born very soon after they were married, and Luke is older than Ryan's kids by at least two years. Also, Ryan met Pat after he met Colin, didn't he? And if they dated for ten years first, and he met Colin in... 81? 82? I'm not sure. The math is confusing. But it had to be at least 91 or so before Ryan married Pat. Also, remember that Colin met Deb when he auditioned for Second City; she was actually one of the people he was auditioning for, who decided he should get in.

I think Ryan met Pat before he met Colin. I remember because it's always bothered me. ^_^

It's hard to find exact dates concerning when they all met, though. Believe me, I've tried. :P

One thing I've been confused about is the time between Colin and Deb being married and Luke being born. From what I can tell, they're rather close; maybe close enough to use a shotgun wedding as a plot point. *g*

Ooooh... Shotgun wedding... now that's interesting. I may end up using that. Thanks! :)

Thanks! I didn't realize Luke was that much older than Ryan's kids... :)
