I just read my first Inception fic that concisely has the military backstory take place after Don't Ask Don't Tell was repealed and it was just a tiny, little detail that fired a million pleasure-circuits in my brain. This fandom and it's attention to world-building details is amazing.

Seriously, how is Inception fandom still cranking out magic??? Sometimes I want a "Unified Theory of Fandoms With Active Fanfiction Cultures" to figure out what is the magic click combination that leads to fic-creation and longevity. (And then I remember that I don't' want to watch Supernatural and also I am incredibly picky about my fanfiction and the minute the magical combination is unlocked, it will be utilized by our capitalist society to suck every possible dollar from the fandom collective.)

And then I think, eh, let some things stay a mystery.

An aside: I have no idea how DC will handle Kate Kane's Batwoman backstory when she is too young to have been kicked out of West Point for being gay. It's a good thing, but still interesting to me.

Ooooooh. I don't know but that IS amazing. It's a great thing to look forward too, and it will take a few years to get there, but it's such a confluence of comic books' weird timelines, incorporating social issues into comic books, and the actual march of time towards a (hopefully) better future.

Love it.
