I've been working on a timeline to help with my fic, but I need help! What I've got so far was taken from the timeline on FFF:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/referencelist.asp?s=timeline
but I got rid of most of the birthdays. (that page hasn't gotten updates since 2003, and doesn't seem to see much traffic, which is why I'm starting this thread!) I'm mostly interested in the time that elapses between the episodes, and the events between the war and the series.
I've made some guesses, and I'm sure many are way off. If anyone has additions/adjustments, please post or PM me and I'll update what I have. Also tell where you get the info - I know there are hints in the episodes (like in The Train Job, when Inara tells Book she's been on Serenity for 8 months) but I don't have time to look for them right now. I know, how can I not have time to watch the episodes? Alas, it's true! 
Um... btw, is there any of this info in Firefly visual companion-type books? Maybe?
Anyway, if this gets filled in decently, we can add the info to the FFF timeline. (Giving credit to all contributors, of course!)
Thanks for the help! I think this will be useful and interesting to more than myself, and will come out much better if it's a group effort.

Just as an FYI, this is the timeline I use when writing my fics. Seems to have a pretty decent handle on the series timeline, but not too sure of its birthdates.

D'oh! Thanks Lvs2read, that site may negate any need for this thread! It'll take me some time to sort through all the info there, but it looks like exactly what I need...
