Ah, the time/season situation...I went through that (and to some extent still am going through it) with the ambush project novel. In my case, I think I'd accidentally set it in two different seasons. *sighs* In your case, it sounds like you've got more goin' on, time-wise, so that's got to be a challenge. Um, if it really doesn't matter--and I mean this sincerely--could you flip a coin or use an online random generator to make the choice for you?
