Hey all, I was wondering if anyone had a livejournal (or website) like Smallville Timeline that helps people out with stuff like continuity and little miscellaneous details??
I've had Running the Numb3rs bookmarked for a while, it's my no# 1 go to place for anything Numb3rs but (and I kinda feel disloyal saying this) I was looking for someplace with a bit more info. For instance SV Timeline has things like mistakes made and progression of relationships with more detail, plus the odd quote thrown in to back up what has been written...
The problem in this fandom isn't the lack of resources, it's the lack of good canon worth tracking IMHO. People have tried simple things like Don's FBI timeline, but the creators keep throwing curve balls like adding things Don did in that time even when we can't seem to find time for it. /sigh/
N3 isn't really a big fandom so we don't have a lot of the trappings a huge fandom does in terms of collective fan run resources. We just have (or had in the case of Numb3rs Online - Hillary's site has been down for a long time and we fear it's gone for good) a few run by individuals and Numb3rs.org where people tend just just ask the creators questions and hope they get answers on them.
N3 also has a ton of errors and conflicting canon (like the brothers' ages/birthdates) so tracking it is rather nightmarish. I think authors tend to either make their own canon or just choose which part of canon they want to follow (i.e. either honor Don's driver's license birthdate *or* the five year age difference) as a way of dealing with our canon issues.
