Okay, so just to clear up any confusion, mine or others', I typed up a timeline for my Hairspray fic, Twist and Shout. Where I don't have a fic entry for a given day, I either left the day blank or put in a song title from the movie - in the latter case, these are in italics. The titles of fics not posted yet are tentative, particularly in the case of those that aren't written yet.
And yes, the days of the week are appropriate for 1962. You may now address me as Her Royal Highness, The Queen of All Nerds.
Twist and Shout Timeline:
1958:
Skinny White Boy
Monday April 30:
Good Morning Baltimore
Nicest Kids in Town
(The newspaper at the beginning of the movie says May 3, 1963, but that's a Wednesday, and it's followed by a full week of classes. For the purpose of retconning, we're going to say the movie starts on April 30. And the headline of the paper is for something that didn't happen until September, so I feel totally justified in monkeying around to make it fit.)
