The Dunnes: Offscreen - Tumblr Posts

For my fic research, I've been looking up old calendars on Pinterest,so I can know what day's specific dates were on. I'm just trying to figure out what dates Camila's appointments would be on, since I'm bad at date math and writing pregnancy. Hopefully all of this gives me some motivation to restart.

Started working on the rewrite of my fic.

Changes in my fic:

No cheating. Billy is forcibly kissed by a groupie of Eddie's on tour, but is quickly reassured that it's not his fault.

He goes to rehab for five weeks when Camila's five months pregnant.

He attends her appointments.

He's there for Julia's birth, but nearly walks out because of the fear of being like Hank.

Daisy's love is one-sided, Eddie's as well.

Billy did propose to Camila like in the book.

Eddie forcibly kisses Camila in December 1974, and is kicked out of the band.

Billy and Camila know about Karen and Graham.

Daisy is called out for insulting Billy's songs, changing them, and writing the lyric about alcohol in Regret Me.

Unlike the show (possibly), Billy doesn't stay with Camila out of obligation.

Camila and Warren are paternal adoptive cousins.

Marlene moves to LA.

No Caroline. (The girl Graham kissed in episode 5.)

Susana and Maria exist.

Camila lives until 2029. (Age 80.)

Karen and Graham stay together, adopt a baby in 1980. (Not really sure, might have them foster.)

Let me know if there's anything I should add!

Also, for the "Silver Springs effect" thing: I think the song is about making someone regret breaking your heart, or just being mad at them, not making them fall back in love with you. So not Daisybilly, but Daisy and Nicky.

If anything, Nicky would regret how he treated Daisy, Billy wouldn't fall back in love with her.
