And NO! It is NOT Adventure Time LoL!

OK, so heres the gist, I'm writing some fanfic stories and I've ran into a bit of a snag. So whats happening is that I'm having several Canon characters interact with each other. Now I'm not just talking about Team RWBY and Team JNPR, I'll be using other characters, specifically Blake, Velvet, and Cardin (If you guess the plot you suck). The catch here is that I, and I would assume many other people, don't know the exact timeline of the events that have transpired within RWBY. The stories I'm writing take place right at the beginning of the show, specifically the first weekend at Beacon.

The problem is that I'm having Canon characters interact with each other very early, when in the show proper, they didn't even interact or possibly even know about each other until the middle of the show. When I write these stories, I try to keep them as close to show canon as possible, and the fact that there is no clear timeline is bothersome to me. To be clear, I am not trying to interweave my stories right into the show canon. I try to write them as sub-stories and adventures that happen alongside the main show. I'll throw references to events that occured within the show and have canon characters have small cameos and such. I'm sure most of us know that when you try to have canon characters take the spotlight within a fanmade story, you always run the risk of portraying them a little OCC, or having them perform actions that could potentially contradict events within the show, or have events with the show contadict your story. Especially if said actions include interactions with your OCs. (That last part really depends on just how exactly the CCs and the OCs interact with each other and what exactly happens between them.)

Also, second question, is it alright if I were to use Team CRDL as antagonists for my story? I don't like those guys as much as most people in the fandom do, but again, I don't want to perform any contradictions, especially considering that I'll be using OCs as the protagonists.

ALSO also, I don't want this to fall into the archives just yet, since it is rather important.
