heh - it makes perfect sense, and the latter is correct.

The dontblink posts are for real time - so, they will take place over the same length of time as the BDE stuff is happening in fandom. Each day's post will be the next day for the victims.

Any aging or off-screen story you develop for your characters - post those first seven days, as they make their way to the stasis place - will happen handwavily off-screen.

There is no reason the groups have to stay together past that first seven day (or less, depending on when your character arrives in the past) period (though we do strongly encourage you to talk to your other group members about what your plans are, so you don't inadvertently Joss anyone).

I hope the answer made sense outside my head!
