So I have some questions for you guys but first let me explain.
I've been writing Wesley/Riker for over a year now and I've always written them as fourteen years apart. There was a reason for that.
Various (majority of) websites have Wesley's birthday listed as 2349 (including the Star Trek Site and the Star Trek Encyclopedia) while Memory Alpha has it listed as 2348. Now, I chose 49 because it made more sense, knowing what I knew about Wesley's age in the series.
Last night, after some pretty extensive research, and even some help from hubby, it would seem that 2348 would actually appear to be the correct date.
So here are my questions.
Should I go back and change everything to the thirteen year age difference? (except for forbidden love because changing ages on that one would really fuck with things)
Should I use the thirteen year age difference from now on (in the spirit of keeping things canon)?
Should I continue using the fourteen year age difference, even though it appears not to be canon, just because I'm familiar with it and I like it?
Now I know one year isn't really much of a difference, but this is my obsession with Wesley/Riker that we're talking about here. The one thing I've never done in an AU is change their ages. I've never made them closer in age and I've never made Wesley the older one. I like their age difference.
What should I do?
