Revision as of 21:54, 28 December 2018
This is more of a scratch page than anything else. Since the Scarlet Jusenkyou books actually have a very tight timeline and continuity, I need to lay out some specific orders and finally clarify a few things I've never gotten around to needing in previous volumes. A similar system will see use in the Conri books. See: Alliance Calendar for an explanation of how the dates work.
A Basic Layout of a Scarlet Year
| Month Number | Season Number | Number of Days | 1st Day of month | Notable Dates |
| 1st Month | 1st Month of Winter | 31 | 1 | 8th day of the first month: school resumes from winter break |
| 2nd Month | 2nd Month of Winter | 30 | 32 | |
| 3rd Month | 3rd Month of Winter | 31 | 61 | |
| 4th Month | 1st Month of Spring | 30 | 1 | 17th Week(21s-27th) Spring break. 27th day: Resurrection Day |
| 5th Month | 2nd Month of Spring | 31 | 31 | |
| 6th Month | 3rd Month of Spring | 30 | 62 | 6th day: School gets out for the summer |
| 7th Month | 1st Month of Summer | 30 | 1 | |
| 8th Month | 2nd Month of Summer | 31 | 31 | 24th day: Scarlet's birthday! |
| 9th Month | 3rd Month of Summer | 30 | 30 | 2nd day: school starts/first quarter starts. 9th day: start of book 1 |
| 10th Month | 1st Month of Fall | 31 | 1 | |
| 11th Month | 2nd Month of Fall | 30 | 32 | First Quarter of school ends| 8th day parent/teacher conferences |
| 12th Month | 3rd Month of Fall | 31 | 61 | 20th day of the 9th month: School lets out for winter break. 25th day: Dawn's Reflection |
School Year
Scarlet's school is broken down into Fall and Spring semesters, further subdivided into quarters.
Summer vacation lasts 87 days, school starts on the second day of the 9th month, which is always a monday
Each Semester is 19 weeks long, the first quarter is always 9 and the second 10, with a few weeks off for various holidays.
First quarter runs from the 36th week to the 45th week
Second quarter from 46 to 51st - break for winter - 2nd week to 6th week
Third Quarter(Second Semester) 3rd to 12th week
Fourth Quarter 13th to 23rd week(actually only 9 weeks because spring break)

Problem
Book1 was supposed to start at the beginning of the third month of summer, and end right when school lets out the following year.
Instead, the book starts on time, but goes 6 months too long.
Solution
Right now, from doorstep to doorstep, chapters 10-17 takes 7 months, 11 days. I can trim that easily to the planned 6 months, but scarlet needs to leave in the first week of the new year - or sooner. I could have her leave on the 20th day of the 12th month and have her traveling during the winter holiday. Christmas in Gau could make for a fun scene.
That leaves us with chapters 1-9, which need to be restructured so the entire thing takes place between the start of school(2nd day of 9th month) and the winter break(20th day of 12th month). That leaves a grand total of 109 days to tell the first half of the story.
The only way to do this is with HEAVY re-structuring. Currently all of the big breaks are happening early-on.
