         TIMELINE SUMMARY OF JEFF WINGER’S LIFE.

    The purpose of this post is to establish Jeff’s basic timeline through his life. This is canon divergent from the show, due to many inconsistencies and contradictions, and basic plot holes presented in Jeff’s background, and an age retcon that makes no sense to me, so this will work as my own retcon in order to flesh out my version of him as best to my abilities. These are rough bones, and explanation for certain decisions or events will be explained in different posts. While this is no way ideal, and might be changed or polished up in later dates, this timeline will be what I will most refer to during plotting or threading.
