I'm writing a fic for a fandom known as Fable, a sort of medieval swords and sorcery thing. I originally had a very vague and incomplete list of names for each month which partially ripped off The Elder Scrolls calendar. Recently, I've been re-reading the Tortallan stories by Tamora Pierce and re-discovering exactly why I loved them. I've noticed that Pierce uses the Gregorian calendar and so I thought, what the hell, this is too much work, I'll use that too. So I deleted the notes on months and now, two weeks later, I remember why I was making up months in the first place.

It turns out that Fable doesn't use the Gregorian calendar. Damn. The problem is that only one single month has a name: Harvest. Judging by the colouring of the leaves at the time of the month's mentioning (right at the beginning), I think this is some time in Autumn. The problem is, I gave up on the months last time and can't be bothered to try again.

So, I have two options. One: ask you lot to help me craft a fantasy calendar (number of days and months will be Gregorian for simplicity). Two: you lot tell me to just use the Gregorian for simplicity.

I'm voting for option two, myself. It's easier for everyone (including the readers) and allows me to get on with the fic without having to check the month name constantly.

Thanks for any help you can give me,
Jade
