The world is my oyster...
So. I've been sitting here, thinking absently. And I finally figured something out. I know why the idea last year (or the year before. Don't remember when it was) to basically wipe out the entire canon of the Subreality Cafe/Subreality on the SCMailing List bothered me so much.
And it did, I just never voiced it except in occasional snide comments to myself.
It bothers me because canon is a good thing.
This is why I cringe and moan and mock every time I hear about some new stupidity done at Marvel. (The Phoenix is not a cosmic force, for instance.... Yeah. Go away.) Because history is a good thing, and if you can't remember it, use it properly, and snuggle it...
You're an idiot.
But, wait, I hear people whine, 30 years/25 years/40 years of continuity is too HARD to remember! *whimper*
Yes, right.
So are a hundred thousand baseball stats.
You don't see the sports fans complaining, do you?
And comics/subreality/tv continuity is much more interesting, entertaining, and fun.
And I like Subreality's history. Ok, so it's been a long time since I've been involved with it, but I remember a few of the basics.
And without that memory, you get a lot of repetitious plots in Round Robins... Oh, god, do you ever...
Er. But that could simply be my own pet peeve.
In other news, despite evidence to the contrary, I am *not* writing a Farscape/Blake's 7 crossover.
Because it would end up the length of the entire Lord of the Rings. And I really don't have time for that. Really.

I made one guy's jaw drop (literally) when I knew about the Crisis. He asked me, "You know about the Crisis?" Um, duh? How far can you go in nearly any DC Comics discussion before you hear "Crisis", "pre-Crisis", or "post-Crisis".
