Marcus is born in July 2015. I'm thinking Chase and Cadman split up something like six months after that. January 2016. Chase gets the kid every other weekend and when Cadman is offworld. Within six months of the breakup, Chase is dating Zoe. (In the newverse, they'll be married and have two children. Logan and Lauren.)
By 2017, according to Tessa-san's figures, Mary would be 44. We'll want Audrey before she gets too old, so a 2018 birthday should do it. Logan and Lauren are only 11 months apart. Logan is October 2017 and Lauren is September 2018. Logan is a -5 grader. Lauren is a -6 grader. Bova and Rosie have another kid in late 2017. Her name is Corona, Rona for short. Rona is a -6 grader, as is Audrey. The -5's and -6's are the college years at Illyeana Space School (which, jsyk, has a university as well). The -5 graders have to be born either just before the newverse or just after it (2016/7). Frannie could give birth in 2017, she'd get prego near th end of her precincts APD year. Justin and Rebecca could also have a 2017 baby. If Mal and Beka slept together during Eva's Tinkering story, she'd be giving birth in January 2017, February if the baby was late. Gus and Jules are the only other couple who could have a -5 grader, so. Names and genders. Beka and Jules have boys. Frannie and Rebecca have girls. Hazel Walker. Tatiana Beckett, Tanya for short. Aiden Valentine. Theodore O'hara (Gus wants to call him Theo, but Shawn starts calling him Teddy to annoy him and it sticks). Cat and Harlan, Evan and Aly, and Cassie and Ryan have kids in 2018, the remaining -6 graders. Cat and Harlan have a girl. Evan and Aly have a son. Cassie and Ryan have a son. Miles Ryan. And those are our two years of Illyeana Space School. For the record, though it doesn't affect the schools. Amber's Rescue is about six months into the newverse and the whoniverse integration is a year into the newverse.
Since whoniverse integration is 2018, Arthur and Azkadelia wouldn't even meet until about halfway through the year. They could be married by the end. But the earliest they could have a kid would be late in 2019. I'm gonna say a girl and call her Elezmerelda, because I've been looking for an excuse to use that name. Martha and Mickey have a girl in late 2018, early 2019. Angeline, Angie for short. Holly and Z have a girl in, oh, Dec 2018. Calista, Callie for short. Sally, Maria, and Alice have boys. Quinn's little brother is called Perry, born in 2019. Mathias Lorne, Matty for short. Kenny Nightingale, born in 2019. Lola Band. Luke and Maria's son is born in 2018. Bryan Smith.

Cece: we were in Miras, yeah?
Moment: out of curiousity, before we go on
Moment: what does Maia do?
Cece: if you want to use her you'll have to put her in either an APD precinct or the hospital or lawyering
Moment: she's young, but we have the smartpill
Moment: she could be Kevin Walker's protigee
Cece: but back to APD
Moment: there should probably be at least one murder
Cece: set it as Feb
Cece: let's say Diana and Maia aren't the only ones who Marco transported to Atlantis
Cece: I like Kevin Burkoff and Tess
Cece: and a couple other people around Kevin's office, where he does the promicin compatibilty tests
Cece: which, btw, would be the reason for the killing
Cece: Kevin and Tess brought a few promicin shots with them
Cece: but one of the folk in this verse, where promicin is not a normal thing, totes killed a P+
Cece: Kevin has this little lab in Atlantis
Moment: you think Atlantis could synthesize promicin?
Moment: since they have the samples Kevin and Tess brought
Cece: I don't see why not
Cece: we haven't done jewels or bombs yet
Cece: I'm saying let's do a bomb threat, in July
Moment: and as for jewels?
Cece: a necklace, diamonds, is stolen
Cece: turns out it's not made of diamonds, the crystals are data storage devices
Cece: and they are full of illegal information
Cece: the thief totally didn't know that
Moment: we still need... six more stories?
Cece: five
Cece: because that thing we switched to Refugee's was switched back to Miras when you switched who Miras was
Moment: let's see... we have three thefts in Miras already
Moment: Lenna and Maddie's joyride is this year, maybe we could do something else with the Jumpers?
Cece: a crash, I'd say
Moment: now, about that promicin Kevin brought with him
Moment: let's say someone breaks into the lab and steals some
Moment: and is targetting people who will probably die if they get the shot, and murdering them by giving them the shot
Moment: so it looks like suicide, like they tried for P+ness and failed
Moment: except that one of the victims? didn't die, got abilities instead
Moment: and from there on it's a manhunt
Cece: something from Earth, a shipment of something
Cece: there's something hidden in it, something that was meant to be smuggled elsewhere
Cece: but it ended up in Atlantis instead
Moment: and we haven't done anything with weapons this season
Moment: we did gunrunning in First Precinct and ammo replacement in Occasum Precinct
Moment: what sort of weapon crimes are left?
Cece: well you could just have things being stolen from the armoury
Cece: it is allowed to be that simple
Cece: what do we end with?
Moment: something with computers?
Moment: give Marco something to do
Cece: a computer virus that crashes any computer that tries to access certain information
Moment: we've made it to Refugee's District
Cece: that's sheriffJack, Fraser, the Ray's, and Frannie
Cece: I'm going to assume that the Athosians have animals, like a farm sort of thing
Moment: I think that's a fair assumption
Cece: someone lets all the animals go
Cece: a vegetarian-type or something
Cece: you know, protesting the killing of animals
Cece: real estate fraud?
Moment: sure, let's go with that
Cece: I don't think there's been a drowning yet
Cece: Dief should be dognapped
Cece: a murder over an illegitimate child
Cece: vandalism
Moment: expand on that one
Cece: topiaries
Cece: someone is destroying them
Cece: and leaving messages in the wreckage
Moment: that's half of Refugee's finished already
Moment: someone should spike the Athosian wine
Cece: and we haven't done pollution, which is something Fraser would be all over
Moment: um... crop circles?
Cece: also the sort of thing Fraser would get involved in
Cece: sabotage of some sort?
Moment: some sort of theft
Cece: and you haven't done a real rape anywhere
Moment: but we go out on the theft, not the rape
Cece: I'm looking at the timeline and thinking...
Cece: Occasum and Miras open at the same time
Cece: rather than Miras and Refugee's
~
Slashy (10:17 PM): want to work on Atlantis?
Slashy (10:18 PM): where are we? March 2014?
Cece (10:18 PM): it needs to be Shep's team
Slashy (10:20 PM): hmm... I don't think it's an arc story
Slashy (10:21 PM): but June has to be
Slashy (10:21 PM): so Shep's team goes offworld to a planet where Todd's Wraithness gets them in trouble
Slashy (10:22 PM): June, then, is Young's team, since it's an arc story
Cece (10:23 PM): they've been infected for over a year
Cece (10:23 PM): we should be seeing some of those effects now
Slashy (10:24 PM): well, I think they got a more pure dose than Etra, which explains why his symptoms are slower
Slashy (10:24 PM): I think they should get caught in the Dream
Cece (10:25 PM): do they get out?
Slashy (10:26 PM): not until near the end of the arc
Slashy (10:26 PM): their eyes crystal over and they're not quite comatose; we start the story in their heads, but we end with the other teams
Cece (10:27 PM): and July, when Amber brings the group from Psych? which team is that?
Slashy (10:27 PM): Shep's
Slashy (10:30 PM): so August is for Aly's, except that Aly is still on maternity
Slashy (10:31 PM): so that team right now is Clo'neill, boySusan, Vala, and Jeannie
Cece (10:33 PM): but by the next story for their team (which is the second Confessional story) Aly is back, right?
Slashy (10:33 PM): yes
Slashy (10:35 PM): now, the team goes offworld
Slashy (10:36 PM): are we on the arc?
Cece (10:37 PM): we probably should be
Slashy (10:40 PM): we go to a planet with advanced stage halfborn infection
Slashy (10:41 PM): like, at least as far as Young's team
Cece (10:42 PM): the crystalline eyes thing. can they talk? give us information?
Slashy (10:44 PM): if they're a bit further than Young's team, I think
Slashy (10:46 PM): possibly they got a higher dose of the light part of the Lights than the sound part
Slashy (10:47 PM): their eyes were one of the first things to go
Cece (10:48 PM): and Sept for Shep's team?
Slashy (10:53 PM): I think one of our team members is nearly hanged as a witch
Slashy (10:53 PM): girls on Shep's team are Cassie and Cadman
Slashy (10:55 PM): I'm going to say this is one of those worlds where women who are equal to men are obviously evil
Slashy (10:56 PM): Cadman gets dragged away but Cassie figures out how to play along
Slashy (10:56 PM): and they rescue Cadman
Cece (10:57 PM): then there's the Confessional
Cece (10:58 PM): then Shep's team, on the arc
Slashy (10:59 PM): a spacegate
Slashy (11:00 PM): there are no longer people on the planet and the lights appear in the sky
Slashy (11:01 PM): we get the radiation spike but not the light or sound, since we are a bit too far away
Slashy (11:02 PM): good for research gathering, tho
Cece (11:02 PM): and 2014 ends with Aly's team, probably part one of two
Slashy (11:05 PM): I think we should find an etherahi moonship. crashed, obviously. we can get telemetry and stuff from it but we won't get enough info to learn the why's
Slashy (11:08 PM): and it's not a two parter, since the 2015 year starts with the next scheduled influx
~
One of the things we got from the crashed moonship was a transmitter. We can create the Lights, in a modified form, to study it under lab conditions. Then in March Shep's team. Maybe something changed for Young's team. I want to say there's a point at which the infection becomes permanent; it won't be reversable once the Lights are reversed. So Young's team wake up, for lack of a better word, and they've definitely changed. But for now they still have their own latent memories. They head straight for the gate and need to be tracked down, it's a twoparter spanning into April.
How much of Atlantis is infected? The majority of Refugee's District, a good portion of Novum, probably a bit more than that. If we assume that a bunch of adults reach that permanent state but their children didn't -- I've been toying with the idea that children would be infected a lot slower than adults -- then these children would need homes. The thawing takes long enough, and the children would be timefrozen until they were thawed, these kids would be my -8graders, with 19/20 "birthdays". Until they're thawed these kids require about as much responsibility as chiapets, if not less. I'm giving them to gay couples who don't already have kids: Fraser and the Ray's, McLenka, Clo'neill and Parrish, Fargo and Larry. The remaining one child is a problem. (Yes, one, the sixth -8 grader is Arthur and Azkadelia's second child.)
We have to find an active moonship and fly out to it, and contact the etherahi to get the Lights reversed. It has to be a twoparter, and let's say June/July 2016. Once the Lights have been reversed the fullborn lose their latent memories and leave for the moonship, and the chiachildren are adopted. That's August.
Back to 2015. May. For Aly's team. Offworld. Clo'neill is the only guy on the team, but we've done enough sexist societies so it must be something else. A tropical planet with warnings written all around but no danger on the scans. Turns out there's this fruit which doesn't register danger but does weird things to the y chromosome.
Shep's team gets the Confessional story in June, then Aly's team gets... something for Jeannie in July and something for Vala in November.
Jeannie has those nanites in her, inactive but there. They could make her a lightning rod. She'd do it on purpose and obviously survive.
Vala... this should have something to do with Addie. Since Morgan was descended Alteran were they all three descended the same? Must have been, cos that makes sense. So maybe there's something in their new genes. A mutation or disease that's been waiting to get out. Astrid dies but Morgan and Addie get cured.
I have no ideas for February, but March should be an arc story. A planet where the halfborn are just ignored until they go crystalline, when they're considered not-alive and stored in cave to be sold as precious gems. This is probably where the chiachildren come from.
We have to make at least one attempt to cure the halfborn medically. I mean we probably did as a subplot before, but it ought to be a main. Say April.
Feb and Sept for Aly, May for Shep, non-arc stories.
May should focus on Ronon, since that hasn't happened in a while. I'm going to say this is the reappearance of the 'if it's only offered to you' rule. Ronon as totes poisoned.
February should focus on Aly. A planet with a festival, with lei's. Which she is allergic to. Sept is after the end of the arc, so maybe it's about time to visit the planet of the uninfected again.

I have five "chiachildren" to be adopted out. I have six gay couples I could force them on. Four of them I've already decided on. The remaining chiachild goes to either Shassie or John/Sherlock. Am I correct in thinking that even with Shawn's irresponsibility, a child is more likely to survive there than with Sherlock?
~
Slashy (11:36 PM): oh, you remember that question I emailed you yesterday for you to answer today?
Raquel Tabor (11:37 PM): As *hilarous* as it would be to have Sherlock and John raise a child, I'm going to have to give it to Shassie, since I think Lassie would be an *adorable* father and Shawn would be even cuter.
Raquel Tabor (11:37 PM): Sherlock'n'John need to babysit various children, though
Raquel Tabor (11:37 PM): because that would be great
Slashy (11:38 PM): (I would be terribly worried about Sherlock performing experiments on the chiachildren before they thawed.)
Slashy (11:39 PM): now I need to assign genders to the five chiachildren. did I remember to send you a list of who the other four "couples" are?
Slashy (11:43 PM): Fraser and the Ray's, McLenka, Clo'neill and Parrish, Fargo and Larry
Slashy (11:44 PM): three of the chiachildren are girls, two are boys
Raquel Tabor (11:44 PM): Shassie get a girl
Raquel Tabor (11:44 PM): and Clo'neill and Parrish get a girl
Slashy (11:45 PM): Fargo and Larry get a boy, I think
Raquel Tabor (11:45 PM): McLenka get a boy.
Slashy (11:47 PM): I like Simone and Kerry for girls names, but I have no idea which girls they are
Slashy (11:47 PM): I also like Pamela.
Raquel Tabor (11:47 PM): Shassie get Kerry, I think.
Slashy (11:47 PM): and whose last name does Kerry get?
Raquel Tabor (11:48 PM): Do shassie get married?
Slashy (11:48 PM): I have no idea
Slashy (11:48 PM): I clearly haven't thought this all the way through
Slashy (11:49 PM): they got together in the April Skouris story, which is about three months before they get to Atlantis. They are in Atlantis for two and a half years before the start of the newverse.
Raquel Tabor (11:50 PM): Lassie probably asks. Shawn freaks out, even though they've been in a committed relationship for over two years. He eventually says yes, after a week or two and a hit from the clue stick.
Raquel Tabor (11:50 PM): so they're engaged at that point, maybe?
Slashy (11:50 PM): yeah, that makes sense
Slashy (11:51 PM): okay, which couple gets Simone and which gets Pamela?
Slashy (11:53 PM): Pamela Parrish sounds adorable even though I'm 99% sure that their baby would have Clo'neill's last name.
Slashy (11:54 PM): because Parrish is *so obviously* the "girl" in the relationship
Slashy (11:55 PM): I do think I'll give them Pamela, though
Slashy (11:55 PM): which begs the question of... poor Simone. Fraser and the Ray's. That is a last name *minefield*.
Slashy (11:56 PM): Fraser, Kowalski, Vecchio
Slashy (11:56 PM): I'm pretty sure they're married
Slashy (11:56 PM): which, again. wtf last names?
Slashy (11:57 PM): Kowalski *might* have changed his, but no way Vecchio did anything other hyphenate
Slashy (11:58 PM): and I have *no* idea what Fraser did, if anything
Slashy (11:58 PM): can I just give Simone Fraser's name?
Slashy (11:59 PM): now the boy chiachildren
Slashy (12:01 AM): McLenka might go with a Czech name. Not that I know any Czech names.
~
Slashy (11:04 PM): Miklos McKay has alliteration going for it, but Miklos Zelenka sounds more authentic. And I think Rodney would be hesitant to attach his name to it.
Raquel Tabor (11:04 PM): give him time. He'll come around.
Slashy (11:04 PM): by which you mean "Zelenka will eventually talk him around"
Slashy (11:05 PM): I didn't come up with a first name for Fargo/Larry's chiason
Slashy (11:05 PM): but I did decide whose last name it would have
Slashy (11:05 PM): "I've no idea what Larry's last name is, but since he's even more obviously the girl than Parrish is, I think it's safe to assume the baby has Fargo's last name."
~
Slashy (3:21 PM): ...were men allowed to be Companions in the flyverse or was a girls-only trade? (I am a freak.)
Raquel Tabor (3:23 PM): firefly wiki says "A Companion is allowed to choose his/her own clients"
Slashy (3:30 PM): so in the newverse Inara is the only Companion, which means she gets to open up Companion "school" or whatever you call it and train a whole new group. This is obviously somewhere in the City of Whores, because *really*. There is crime at Companion school but they can't call cops in, so Neal goes undercover as a "student". Because Neal is pretty enough that he could be a Companion, if he weren't married to Peter and El by this point. Does this make any sense at all?
Raquel Tabor (3:30 PM): yes
Slashy (3:48 PM): so Kelly walked through the room, glanced at my notes on that Companion school idea, and walked away. Just now, from the other room, she yells quite loudly, "You know Tesla's gonna be a Companion, right?"
~
Slashy (10:14 PM): how soon after the GalaxyQuest Con (which is Laliari's First Contact and the start of Gus/Juliet, in case you forgot) can I plausibly have Shawn get their group kidnapped into space by the Thermians?
Raquel Tabor (10:14 PM): give it...a month
Slashy (10:45 PM): now that I'm actually looking at the cvs I realize that I've started Gus/Jules in my second story, which doesn't leave me much time at all to start and end Shules. Also, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with Abigail. ~headdesk~
Slashy (10:46 PM): Kelly think I should just give Shawn a throwaway line about how he and Abigail broke up a couple weeks ago and didn't anyone get the memo
Slashy (11:56 PM): right now the way I have it set up, I have nine stories for Psych. Since the canon break is at the midseason finale. could I just call the first eight it and count that Move To Atlantis story as a special? (the only thing I have with this plan is that it leaves me... no room whatsoever for Shules.)
Slashy (11:59 PM): actually, if I just... don't put Jules return from maternity as it's own story, just make it part of the one that would be after that... it doesn't even have to be a special. ~headdesk~
~
Slashy (9:32 PM): after Amber's Rescue, does the trio become a quartet and if so how does that arrangement get negotiated? (by which I mean, Amber/Wilson is sort of guaranteed, but what about the rest of it?)
Slashy (9:37 PM): see, while I'm positive of Amber/Wilson, I can't bring myself to believe Amber/Cuddy, which means there's *some* form of timeshare negotiation going on
Raquel Tabor (10:01 PM): Cuddy and Amber sleep on opposite sides of the bed.
Raquel Tabor (10:02 PM): and may watch, depending on who's in the mood for what.
Slashy (10:03 PM): I'm now imagining them sitting down at a big negotiating table to decide that
Raquel Tabor (10:03 PM): they will
Raquel Tabor (10:03 PM): absolutely
Slashy (10:05 PM): now, are the trio married before Amber's Rescue?
Raquel Tabor (10:05 PM): sure
Slashy (10:06 PM): so does Amber marry into the whole group or not marry any of them or... there are actually quite a few options here.
Raquel Tabor (10:06 PM): Marries Wilson
~
Slashy Subtext:okay, my list is up. do I *really* need to follow NCIS to the births of the second two kids, or can I leave it with the paradox as the last pattern story?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Don't leave it with the paradox.
Slashy Subtext:okay, then I need... December 2011
Slashy Subtext:February, April, June, August, October, and December for 2013 and 2014
Slashy Subtext:and February and either March or April for 2015
Slashy Subtext:at best we'll be able to cross IPS a couple times. maybe the Unit in some of the later ones.
Slashy Subtext:there are six things for the Unit I could make crosses. that would cover almost all of 2012, if I did them all. Should I?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:yes'
Slashy Subtext:I need a just NCIS story for February 2012
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Marine killed while on leave by a mate
Slashy Subtext:(on a minor side note: Mark Benford would have gone into witness protection soon after the explosion at the end of FF, which means May 2010. Janis was abducted then and I think if I give her a year she could talk Lita around and they could go in together. That gives me two IPS stories I didn't have before.)
Slashy Subtext:okay, so, I'm thinking of only having IPS stories when I need them, instead of on some sort of pattern. basically the same way I've done the stories for House
Slashy Subtext:(speaking of, I do need about a year of AGH stories, just to be fair.)
Slashy Subtext:I still need three years of NCIS stories and I can't use the Unit anymore.
Slashy Subtext:that means the only crosses I can get are for IPS
Slashy Subtext:February of 2013 as a cross?
Slashy Subtext:I need, er, some sort of story
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:IPS comes to relocate a seaman?
Slashy Subtext:sure let's go with that
Slashy Subtext:I could do a Warehouse 13 cross in June?
Slashy Subtext:let's see... what sort of artefact would be likely to turn up around NCIS. Any sort of famous persons gun or something?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:wasn't somebody's dad a civil war renactor? Tony's?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Is Tony's dad dead?
Slashy Subtext:you would know better than I would
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:he's not
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:but we can kill him
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:he might've had a civil war-era gun that belonged to somebody important.
Slashy Subtext:...I've just realized how absolutely spectacular it will be to have Tony interact with Pete Lattimer.
Slashy Subtext:I need to cross these programmes more
Slashy Subtext:but before I go further, a just NCIS story for April 2013
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Seaman killed by drug runners who mistake him for someone else
Slashy Subtext:greatness
Slashy Subtext:August is the birth of Razi, so October is my next blank
Slashy Subtext:I'm thinking another W13. Ziva gets a book of some sort written in Hebrew, which is an artefact. y/n?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:sure
Slashy Subtext:December 2013. I feel like if I'm gonna keep doing W13 then everyone should have an artefact at some point.
Slashy Subtext:should Dec be an W13 or an IPS cross?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:w13
Slashy Subtext:Abby gets Dracula's Fangs?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:sure!
Slashy Subtext:that one was so easy
Slashy Subtext:okay, now I need another just NCIS story
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:SpecOps marine's son held hostage by terroists
Slashy Subtext:April 2014, W13 or IPS?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:IPS
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:A SEAL's identity is revealed while he's still active and he has to go into hiding
Slashy Subtext:June, W13 or just NCIS?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:just NCIS
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Abby hasn't been kidnapped or threatened lately.
Slashy Subtext:true
Slashy Subtext:so, kidnapped/threatened by who why?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:family of a person who the team convicted
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:revenge
Slashy Subtext:August, W13, yeah? who should we give an artefact to this time?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:McGee
Slashy Subtext:okay, what sort of artefact do you think he'd end up with?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:something really nerdy
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:a king's sword
Slashy Subtext:cool
Slashy Subtext:October. IPS, W13, or just NCIS?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:just NCIS
Slashy Subtext:okay, if Oct is just NCIS then Dec will be the Warehouse. Gibbs turn to get an artefact. What would he get?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:A medal of the first decorated marine
Slashy Subtext:Sweet. then Feb is also Warehouse 13. either Ducky or directorJenny's turn. which?
Slashy Subtext:(April is IPS, the dead guy was in witness protection.)
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Ducky
Slashy Subtext:what sort of artefact?
Slashy Subtext:I'm just gonna write "an artefact" and call that it
Slashy Subtext:May is the birth of Davy, so July is the last W13 cross. directorJenny. any idea what kind of artefact she'd get?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:something french
Slashy Subtext:good enough for me
Slashy Subtext:September... we wanted Erela kidnapped when she was older, yeah?
Slashy Subtext:she should be school age by now
Slashy Subtext:December should be just NCIS, so Feb should be IPS, yeah?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:sure
Slashy Subtext:let's see... witness disappears, reappears in a navy base
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:sure

the Confessional was attached to an empty version of Serenity when the flyverse imploded. So the ship is there, empty, until after Amber's Rescue. I think Amber's Rescue has to be staged from inside empty Serenity. So the rescue group has to go on a bit of a quest. Get to the Room, get the Trinket, get to empty Serenity. Okay, so we start with getting... newJenny to our rescue group. Because newJenny knows where Serenity is and can fly the Room. Here's the thing: Donna is the closest thing Jenny has to a mother, and Handy doesn't need her anymore. He did once, when he was Ten. Ten always needed Donna. But Handy II doesn't. (Just wait until I have the time to discuss Handy and the Master.) So, once upon a time Jenny had a VM. If she left it with youngGibbs and he kept it, she could use it to track him down. And he could lead her to the Room. Donna and Queel go with her, leaving Handy and the Master alone. So that story is part of Carus APD. Now, I don't thinking the newverse is wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey until at least a year after integration, or possibly not even then. it's strictly linear until I decide otherwise. poor folk who aren't at all used to living on the slow path. So January to the Confessional is actually the story where Amber leads them through. They spend some time wandering the empty Serenity. Then Feb is newJenny et al leaving; it's the second story for the Confessional and the first for the Room.
It should be plenty easy to work with Torchwood City. Since for the first year it's just TWP. And the Namia, I think. The Namia totes lands in the beginning of Torchwood City. Now technically Bad Wolf caused integration, so how is the Namia at the beginning of the newverse? If all Tardises are on the slow path, then the Namia and the Cafe would both end up at the beginning of the newverse. Both of cloneJosie's kids are held back a year. Learning disability as a side effect of growing up in near isolation. That means Torchwood City is comprised of the Cafe, the BHH Building that is their actual headquarters, a few city blocks, the double-tardis which is TWP, and a few blocks of buffyverse London. In terms of people that's Blackie, Fay, Frank, Holly, Z, Lucas, cloneJosie, their two kids, Nick, twoStephen, altTaylor, altIanto, daughterAlice, her two boys, Lorne, Katie, Tony, Effy, Naomi, Emily, their two kids, Meg, Jamie, altHarriet. For the first year, Harriet is strictly in charge. Even Blackie agrees to this. The Jan 2017 story for them is calming the mass panic. Eventually, after Integration, Torchwood City will organize itself like Atlantis. Districts. There'll be two London's, so SJA's is Swansea. The Sanctuary I've been assuming is around Oxford. Where in Canada is BHH? Ontario. Downing Street is the obvious equivalent to the Tower. So Torchwood City is made up of: Downing Street, Ontario, London, Cardiff, Glasgow, Swansea, Oxford.
Let's see. Jan 2017. We've done all three Tardises and Torchwood City. We still need to do Illyeana/the Christa, the Eureka Maru, Atlantis, Carus APD, Dinotopia, and the Ozian Palace. Dinotopia and the Palace are easy. Dinotopia's intrustion into Ozian waters has caused a tidal wave. January is the Palace dealing with that, ending with our group sailing off to find the cause of the disturbance. February for both is the first contact story. Dinotopia's Jan story is of course dealing with having yet again moved and the earthquakes this tends to cause. Illyeana/the Christa for January is stabilizing their new orbit around Trance's sun, while Feb is their first contact with Torchwood City. Atlantis is the two part migration from the SGC through the new open gate and the opening of Carus District. January for Carus APD is the necessary 'where did you come from' stuff and it's opening. While it's Feb is newJenny and the Room, Atlantis Feb story is first contact with the Eureka Maru, where Beka has just given birth. The Eureka Maru's Jan story is getting back online after the explosion that brough them there. That's the newverse to February.
June is Amber's Rescue. Other than the Room, who is this rescue? Gotta be H/W. So May must be the Room at the hospital, so the rescue can follow. The Room is chilling around Atlantis for the months in between, so March'll be their first contact. Then the April Atlantis story is for Shep. A side effect of Susan having been fobwatched when she gave birth starts to affect their child. The kid needs to have the equivalent of an unfobwatching and refobwatching. And Susan's Tardis... isn't there. Which is odd, but since the Doctor's Tardis chose to stay... eh. So the Room'll have to do it.
Let's finish March. The Eureka Maru, what are they up to. At some point I want to link them to Atlantis, since the Daedalus didn't make it so all they have is Jumpers. But they don't associate yet. March must be just them, then, since they can't attach to Atlantis until May at the latest. So in March... well, if they stick around Atlantis that makes it easier later and it's not like we're actually limited to one story per month. So the ship is probably still in drydock, so the crew are wandering the city. Maybe they can help out Carus APD. April the Eureka Maru has to encounter the empty Serenity. They'd set up a beacon, which is what alerts newJenny so she can stage Amber's Rescue. Where is the Confessional in March? It's just the Master and Handy. I think we'll have them amake an attempt at timetravel and fail, while dealing with their weird relationship (which I seriously want to talk about). Torchwood City/the Namia in March. Did TWP have a supply of promicin from when they merged with PARC? If we say yes that March can be the P+ing of the acceptable Cafe members. The Christa next; they just had first contact with Torchwood City, so if we assume they're still in orbit around New New Lantea... I give up trying to do this in the right order. After Amber's Rescue the Serenity comes to Atlantis for drydoc, because Atlantis and Illyeana are it for drydock. At the end of this story, Inara and her Companion shuttle stay, and she opens up Companion School. Atlantis "buys" the Eureka Maru's loyalty in May. In June Atlantis finally sends a Jumper over to Torchwood City for their first contact, and in August they swap Ambassadors. I haven't decided who they are yet. In July the Eureka Maru is having contact with the Christa, which is returning to Illyeana. The Christa has first contact with Atlantis sometime after that... September. Atlantis is finished through Sept. In Oct the brainsyncing completes, leaving Daniel with Cytherian mindcontrol. First they bring him into custody, then in Nov they bring him to Dinotopia for first contact and de-brainwashing. Then Dec is his retirement and Robert taking his place. Atlantis is finished for the first year. Now do we need to be following everybody every month? I don't think we do. I think Dinotopia we can do as we've been doing, as it becomes necessary. Carus absolutely has to be every month, as that is APD tradition. The Ozian Palace, I'm thinking as necessary. Torchwood City and the Christa should be every month, but the Eureka Maru and Serenity should be as needed. When does the Namia leave TWP? Sometime after the Atlantis first contact. After Serenity leaves drydock there must be one story on their own before they encounter each other and Mal learns he has a son. Which is the point at which the crews need to be sorted. See, Mal is a fundamentally good guy; he'd want to do right by Beka and Aiden. He isn't as defined by Serenity as Beka is by the Maru, and he has an actual second in command while Beka doesn't. So Mal will go with the Maru, leaving Zoe as captain of Serenity. I think Simon and River go back to Serenity. Simon/Trance ended when they hit the newverse. She transformed back to gold at that point, too, jsyk. I always assumed "not your Icarus" was a good thing, but maybe it's not. ("He touched the sun, Trance." "What?" "Icarus He was so brave and foolish he touched the sun. That's how love is." "River, Icarus *died*." "Everyone dies. Even you, some day.") Torchwood City... may one day be every month, but not during the first year; no April or May stories. In June the Confessional should visit the Maru. They were aiming for a ship so they could have a captain marry them. (Seriously want to talk about this.) After the honeymoon sometime they have to encounter Rose and Namia again. Nothing quite like taking your new husband to see your exwife to up the awkward. I can drop April and May for the Confessional too. That Serenity story right out of drydock... Serenity has Doyle, so what happens if her battery dies? That's a story.
Is there some sort of outward sign that Trance's sun is different? August, something goes weird. Whatever it is affects Trance as an Avatar as well as the sun itself. Oh, before I forget. Dominic Fargo. Now all the kids have names. Katie would be the Lantean Ambassador, so her little fam unit is living on Atlantis. And Chloe has to be the TWC Ambassador, since she's been gateverse PR. Effy is obviously going to be a Companion; so now I have to figure out exactly how Keffony works. I totally believe that Katie and Effy are in love, but in part due to Carmen Effy can't just settle down. She's always been... well, easy isn't the right word but it's close. Which Katie knows and accepts. Now Tony... he's actually the exact same kind of picky-but-easy as his sister, so Katie is really very awesome for putting up with this. Tony is also going to be a Companion. Trance must be lonely, since none of the newverse suns have Avatars. This is, I'm pretty sure, the very first mention of there being other startsystems in the newverse. There are, of course, I'm just not doing anything with them yet.
What about the Limerick? The entirety of the NTA is contained therein. Grace dies destroying the cyberplant, Jack and John are both dead, QLSam ceased to exist, Friday died ages ago with the Family of Blood, Malcolm retired with Ee... so the only originals are Karen and Max, and the remaining recruits are... Helena, Katie, altStephen, Neal, and dodgyKate. Katie and Neal are both on Atlantis, altStephen was with the Namia but he and altJon stayed in Torchwood City when the Namia left. Helena and dodgyKate would be the only ones on the Limerick. There's really no need for a Time Agency in a strictly linear universe, and I've been toying with the idea that VMs might not work for teleportation anymore either, so they're stuck until one of our ship groups finds them. In Oct the Christa finds them and in Nov it leaves them at Torchwood City.
This is the point at which I decide that only the stories that should be told should be told. That sounds redundanct, but I swear it's not. The only stories the Christa needs that first year should be it's first contacts. Torchwood City in February, the Eureka Maru in July, Atlantis in Sept. I'm fairly confident she won't meet Serenity until the second year. I'm thinking it should have an Ozian Palace story, April. And Dinotopia, May. That means the Christa is finished for the first year. After Amber's Rescue, what does the Room do? That's Donna, Jenny, and Queel. Um... do they have any stories left to be told? That might as well be it for them. I think once all the necessary stories are told, the newverse is an excellent sandbox, but not a sereies or outline like the rest of the cvs. The Namia after leaving Torchwood City and meeting with the Confessional. I think that's it for both of them. So Carus APD has to be brought through and that's it, for the first year. Integration, then.
Obviously, Torchwood City's first story of the new year should be the integration of TWG, TWS, SJA, and the UK Sanctuary. Now, Atlantis hasn't done an Ozian Palace story, which considering the fact that the gate leads down to the planet is a bit odd. So the first story for them is sending a team through the gate. Feb would be that team's first contact with the Palace. They... do have a ship, yeah? Let's say yeah. So that's March. April they have to do first contact with Wonderland. Now Wonderland has two portals -- the Looking Glass which leads to Torchwood City, and the Stone Door, which leads... I suppose to the Palace. So May would be Palace/Wonderland first contact, and June would be the Az/Arthur engagement. The royal wedding is the next January.
Newverse things: chiachildren thaw (July of the third year). Chase/Zoe wedding. Many births. Morgana/Islington alliance.
Morgana and Islington should escape sometime after Arthur and Azkadee's engagement but before the royal wedding. We'll want Aug/Sept as a two parter, and one of them needs to die but the other escapes. And let's all be honest, they kidnap Kazim. Poor kid is going to end up with a conference. So in August Morgana and Islington escape and kidnap Kazim. In Sept Morgana is killed but Islington escapes with Kazim. As if that's going to be allowed -- Oct they get Kazim back, but I think Aziraphale is the only one who could actually do anything permanent to Islington. Which means Oct has to be a Wonderland story as well.
~
Let's discuss the Aschen arc. The Aschen would have been slowly building their empire for a while now. They could have allies anywhere. So Feb, after Justin and the hoverboards, SG-1 goes to this planet where the people seem friendly and an agent of the Aschen comes through. They manage to avoid him and warn the friendlies of the Aschen's less than friendly plans. In April we'll go to a world that has regular contact with the Aschen, and we have to get off the planet without them noticing. Eventually we will have to encounter them instead of running away. Let's make that May, we end up on an Aschen controlled world and are captured. Brought back to the Aschen homeworld. It's a two parter and part two is staging a jailbreak with the help of an Aschen prisoner (played by the Peacekeeper woman who's killed near the beginning of s1). Her name is Raya. We can give her asylum/keep her our prisoner. Better than Aschen deathrow. Raya totally helps them when that "miracle drug" hits the market. We mentioned giving GinnLyra a new gf and I think Raya fits the bill. Now Raya does before Ginn does, in the first part of that story, which is obviously a two parter. The Aschen storm the SGC, Raya is fataly injured and Sam is captured. Hailey calls her doctor gf, which is why Remy is there. The Aschen storm the SGC again, because we're currently running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. And that's when Ginn is killed and Lyra transfers to Remy. Since Remy needs to have Asha for... let's give her a six month contract, she'd get Asha in Sept and have her removed in March. GinnLyra/Raya would start in Oct. Now, that Ginn/Raya death story is not actually an end. Sam has still been captured and the SGC needs someone to take over until we can find her and bring her back. Which, okay, interrim commander... Robert is VP, so Chloe dad. He won't let them go search for Sam without more info, which while smart is also dickish. In July the Aschen send a ransom note for Sam and SG-1 go to the meeting against orders. It does not go well and they don't get sam back. Sept they're on suspension, grounded, whatever, can't go offword and have to get all their info from other teams. In Oct they're allowed offworld in a non-saving-Sam capacity, where naturally an Aschen ship arrives, they stow away. Fortunately for them the ship takes them to Sam, who they can break out, but since they've been gone so long they can't go to the SGC cause their codes are old, and since the Aschen are in pursuit they go to another world first... prolly the free Jaffa world Teal'c is on. But then they're home. Sam is put back in charge in December. I've got a few blanks but I'd rather move foreward. I feel like the Aschen made it easy to get Sam back; I think she's boobytrapped. They infected her upon capture with some sort of time release bug. A year after capture (May) it would strike. Sam is just a carrier, they made sure of that. A bunch of non-main people die before they realize what's happened and by then it's too late to quarantine. This is a superbug akin to what Sophia was planning on The Event. Enough to at least decimate the Earth's population. We have to start going on the offensive now. This is an actual war. That July we go to a world where we avoided the Aschen before and start taking prisoners. The pople of that planet are less than thrilled. Their tech is too advanced for us to storm their non-sattelite worlds through the gate. Instead we'll have to starve them out. Destory their sattelite farms. That means we need a weapon that can kock their ships out of the sky simultaneously, or a bioweapon that will destory all their crops. I'm thinking it's probably the second one. Actually... the Lucian Alliance. We still don't like them, but maybe we could use them to our advantage. Get some farm locations from the prisoners, then seed their fields with stolen kassa. Get the Aschen nice and addicted. Then we can pit them against one another. First we take control of a Lucian supplyship, and transport the kassa to an Achen farmworld. We'd have to have other teams doing the same thing. Then we lure a Lucian ship to one of these planets and show them that someone else is growing kassa. Now the Lucians and the Aschen are quite busy fighting each other. In Dec they can both contact us for assistance, and we will laught at them both. By June of 2016 the Aschen homeworld is all that's left of their empire, and only a handful of Lucian ships remain. The Aschen don't have any ships. I think it's about time we started interfering. SG-1 can go to the Aschen world and take a crude shuttle up to one of the Lucian ships. Which they would ten take over. All the prisoners go down to the planet and the Aschen prisoners go through the gate, and then we have the captured ships take the gate, stranding them there. After that we start with the destruction of the kassa. Now sometime after we plant the kassa we'll want to see sickly Aschen, so Jan. Might as well start the year acknowledging our plan is working. At some prior point we want to establish that Lucians are still a problem. We want one each year, so July 13 and April 14. In June 15 I think the Lucians ambush a Jaffa ship. We do want at least one more before that, say Feb. We stumble onto a Lucian base and are captured, we escape, destroying the kassa. Okay, now, let's see, we have allies. In May we may want to see some. We'll see the Tok'ra with Asha, so not them, what about Zale's world? We could be invited there for a celebration. March 2016 let's see one of the now-broken farm planets. Back to 2013, Nov should be allies, so... something on the Jaffa world. Then we could poke our nose into Wonderland after Arthur's coronation. slayerFaith and youngMax don't really belong there, so. Someone has found a way to open the Looking Glass without the Stone of Wonderland and is using it to kidnap Oysters from the gateverse; they can get SG-1's help dealing with that, and Faith and Max can come back to the SGC. Two parter. In Feb, one of them "joins" SG-1. Which is... probably Faith, youngMax is an adult but she's still only 23 tops. I say "joins" because you can't just pop into the universe and join up. It'll take a while for that. I think Raya also "joined", when she in GinnLyra got together. March 2015 is when Faith becomes a proper team member. Now, you remember how Manticore built an expiration date into their kids? I need to decide if I'm going to kill her or let her be saved. I think we could send her to the Tok'ra... what has Max been doing? Working with Chloe, let's say. She could keep doing that, with a Tok'ra. Asha, cos that'll give us some fun awkward. That's april. We need a Jan. I want to see dryads versus Aschen. The trees would be dying; the dryads come to us for help. I havn'et forgotten the dryads, there are still some things I want to do with them. I was to visit a stable dryad dreamworld, April 2016. I want to see the affects of kassa on dryads - that's sometime after we start kassa destruction, so Sept 16. And I think I want something with dryad treeships. Lucians attacked one and they asked us for help. Sept 15. Nov 15 should be allies... May 16 is naiads; they've been poisoned by kassa. Allies, allies, and it should be a two parter. Jaffa, I guess. Four blanks left in 2016. Let's go character-driven. Aug, after we've started kassa destruction, it's vacation time. Everyone gets some tiem to go spend with their families. The previous Feb... switch Feb and APril so that Max had a one year contract with Asha. Okay, Oct and Nov. (When the Tok'ra Hosts programme goes active, we need a Tok'ra on Fake News. It'd be KittyVera. and directorJenny's Tok'ra is called Zarihn, before I forget.) We haven't had a gate malfunction in a while, so we could do that. And then a goa'uld trap. It takes you and copies, I guess. It copies you minus the symbiote and then destroys the original. Obviously RemyLyra falls into this and they rescue the original. So there are now two Remy's, and the one without the symbiote has been returned to a pre-sybiote physical state, since obvs a symbiote could do no good. So she'd get Asha back and only one of the Remy's can be dating Hailey. So RemyLyra is with Hailey and RemyAsha goes to Atlantis to work at AGH. That's SG-1 finished. We need one year of AGH and all the Lantea tags - that's birth and weddings that aren't storyline. We also need six stories for the Five, most of Carus APD, and some W13 stuff for IPS. Because of how much Warehouse stuff I'm doing, I want to send Pete and Myka to Atlantis; it'd have to be Refugee's District APD, and that fine. I'll find places to stick em later, everyone at IPS has to get an artefact. Let's leave it at that and work out what they are later. We also need to work in the start of Marshall/Mary, the Marshall/BobbyD story, and Brandi's wedding. I think Mary's artefact story should be Brandi's wedding, the artefact is one of the rings. Marshall/BobbyD and Mary/Eleanor would take place in Stan's artefact story; I'm think Isaac Asimov's paperweight - if you don't get this reference, you should ask.

Clary: How many teachers do I need for the newverse? And, considering the set-up of the newverse, of how many species do I need them? (And a side question, I feel like there should be Time Tots in the newverse, but I'm not sure if that's just me or not. Opinion?)
Tate: Starting with the first question, I'll move on to the next one eventually. Ozian Academy is over a period of five years, so only one set of teachers. Illyeana Space School is over a period of six years, so only one set of teachers. Atlantis School is over a period of fourteen years, so two sets. Maybe. You could have some teachers stay for the -9 graders, who are the only Lanteans after the -4 graders, and is practical since I had a couple teachers my mom also had, and that's a thirtyish year difference. So then the question becomes, how many to a set in each school? Which depends on how many classes there are, and also how many of those classes you actually intend to show teachers for. I mean, that Bristol College in Skins must have had more than three teachers, but we didn't SEE them. So. Work through the school systems for me. Assume all schools have their core five classes already, what do we need to add?
Clary: On top of the core five, let's assume all three systems have some sort of Sex Ed course, which would include extra-species studies. And then there are the things that would be specific to the worlds they start in. The Ozian Academy would have at least one magic course. Maybe a Magic Theory and a Practical Magic course, or that being a two term combined course. Illyeana would have something to do with space travel. Lantea would also have to have it's own tech course, and an advanced Maths or Science. There weren't really other languages in the bases other than Lantea, but there we do run into a couple non-Earth languages, aside from the Earth languages that would be helpful to an Earth-colony. Lantea would also have a Jumper Drivers Ed course. And all of that leaves aside Electives almost entirely.
Tate: So that's seven, seven, and nine. Since you need two sets for Atlantis but we're assuming a bit of overlap, that's about thirty overall. Now, about the species. There are three species which we SAW in Tin Man. Illyeana Station is made up of mostly the non-Spung, free Andromedans, and the... M species I can't remember the name of. And that's on top of Davenport, cos you KNOW she's there. On Atlantis, the non-human aliens remaining should just be the Tok'ra, and they have human hosts. You could I suppose have a New Gallifreyan there, but still with the human appearance. Strangely, there are not massive piles of alien species in our home system. At least, outside the established characters. So how many of our established characters have jobs in the school systems?
Clary: Illyeana has Davenport. She's the only one of the qualified lists for Illyeana and the Ozian Academy, I think. Coming from TWC to the Lantean school we could have anyone in the Sanctuary trio, but I would love to see Tesla trying to teach 17 year olds. Y'know, since he's so *good* with children. xD There are a couple people from TWC we could have be teachers. Cutter was a teacher before but in very specific areas of study, so I'm unsure. Tessa-san agrees that altStephen should be a history teacher. And obviously Z, but cloneJosie was never his TA so not her. And on the Lantean lists... Well, no one is ever going to convince me that Daniel isn't teaching at that school. We could pick any random person from Eureka to be an advanced maths/science teacher, or freeSam. So I guess we're in the vincinity of twenty-fiveish?
Tate: Yeah, and only a very small amount of them have to be non-human. So you can basically do whatever you want with the actors and actresses and not have to worry about it. Can I go to bed now?
Clary: Absolutely. Ta muchly.
Tate: Forgot to answer, re: Time Tots. I don't see any reason you couldn't, but you have to be careful not to make them all the same age. Time travel doesn't work in the newverse the same way it did in the cvs, so you won't have that to set them by. Personally, I think the Master and Handy should be first. Then Jenny and Rose, but with them conceiving, like... at opposite ends of each other. I'm explaining this poorly. Like if Jenny got preggers first, and she was six months along when Rose concieved, so that the Time Tots would be about a year apart agewise. You could also, I suppose, have Susan concieve, but her baby would be half human and I'm not sure how Shep would feel about the Prydonian.
Clary: Time travel in the newverse, after the initial two years where it doesn't work at all, basically goes: You can move forward, but not backward. So the Tardis-bound could skip months into the future, or years, if they had Tots at the Prydonian and wanted to skip from break to break. That actually opens up the possibility that the Tots could have quite the age difference, if one group (Handy and the Master, obvs, cos they're the ones worse at research) popped into the future without verifying they could get back. Then the other group could meet them there with their toddlers/children and be all "you idiots". As for Shep and Susan, well, they could raise the kid themselves and it could go to the Prydonian as an adult, like Jenny did. Like Uni. xD

Moment: that means the newverse has 37 fandoms in it
Moment: I am about to suggest something Tatey-chan would not approve of
Moment: adding more fandoms to the newverse so it also has 42. new fandoms can exist as other planets, considering how many spaceships I have
Raquel: That's only 5 fandoms to add
Moment: does that mean I can do it?
Raquel: I say yes.
Moment: you are the only one I will consult about this until I've gone too far to stop
Moment: so, any ideas for fandom planets?
Raquel: a good portion of the Marvel U, and certainly the MarvelMovieU would apply.
Moment: you realize that I don't actually know what those words mean, right?
Raquel: MarvelMovie Universe is Captain America, who had the supersoldier serum (which was pretty much permanent steroids on steroids), Iron Man, Thor, and the Hulk (Gamma radiation, which *still* doesn't work that way).
Raquel: Basically what I'm saying is that the Marvel Movie Universe is pretty fucking realistic, especially for comic books.
Raquel: or comic book movies, rather.
Moment: and how... self-contained, let's go with, is it?
Moment: sprawling as in more than one group of characters (ie whoniverse = dw, tw, sja)
Raquel: They are different groups, but they're all part of the Avengers Initiative.
Raquel: the Avengers are a group that Tony Stark (Iron Man) formed of supers that is basically out to protect the world from bad things
Moment: so what you were going for is "relatively self-contained"?
Raquel: there's four "groups", if you want to call them that, but the only one who hasn't been approached at the end of the movie is Thor, if only because he's stuck in Valhalla right now.
Moment: okay, next question
Moment: does it have a sprawling universe?
Moment: other than the planet it is set on?
Raquel: Nope.
Moment: okay, last question
Moment: do the characters talk like real people?
Raquel: Yes.
Raquel: The writing is very good. Joss is working on the Avengers movie. I can't remember if writing or directing.
Moment: you could have opened with that
Moment: okay, I lied about the number of questions. I have one more
Moment: are these movies freely available?
Moment: you will need to give me a list
Raquel: Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America
Raquel: The Avengers and I *think* Iron Man 3 are being released next year.
Moment: okay
Moment: so that's 1/5
Moment: I'm thinking BBC's Robin Hood
Moment: so that's 2/5
Moment: I'm trying very, very hard not to suggest Harry Potter, but I think there's some sort of law that makes it not a valid crossover universe unless it's in there... (also, I'm having visions of the remaining Weasley twin travelling with the Doctor, and I DON'T KNOW WHY)
Raquel: do it.
Moment: the issue we're about to have is book canon vs movie canon
Moment: so was that a roundabout way of saying book canon, then?
Raquel: yes
Moment: so that makes 3/5
Moment: ...I have just realized that I shouldn't count Neverwhere as a newverse fandom because the newverse fandoms are after the first two years, and Islington (who was my sole remaining link) is killed during the second year...
Moment: um... we're at 3/6 fandom planets
By 2017, according to Tessa-san's figures, Mary would be 44. We'll want Audrey before she gets too old, so a 2018 birthday should do it. Logan and Lauren are only 11 months apart. Logan is October 2017 and Lauren is September 2018. Logan is a -5 grader. Lauren is a -6 grader. Bova and Rosie have another kid in late 2017. Her name is Corona, Rona for short. Rona is a -6 grader, as is Audrey. The -5's and -6's are the college years at Illyeana Space School (which, jsyk, has a university as well). The -5 graders have to be born either just before the newverse or just after it (2016/7). Frannie could give birth in 2017, she'd get prego near th end of her precincts APD year. Justin and Rebecca could also have a 2017 baby. If Mal and Beka slept together during Eva's Tinkering story, she'd be giving birth in January 2017, February if the baby was late. Gus and Jules are the only other couple who could have a -5 grader, so. Names and genders. Beka and Jules have boys. Frannie and Rebecca have girls. Hazel Walker. Tatiana Beckett, Tanya for short. Aiden Valentine. Theodore O'hara (Gus wants to call him Theo, but Shawn starts calling him Teddy to annoy him and it sticks). Cat and Harlan, Evan and Aly, and Cassie and Ryan have kids in 2018, the remaining -6 graders. Cat and Harlan have a girl. Evan and Aly have a son. Cassie and Ryan have a son. Miles Ryan. And those are our two years of Illyeana Space School. For the record, though it doesn't affect the schools. Amber's Rescue is about six months into the newverse and the whoniverse integration is a year into the newverse.
Since whoniverse integration is 2018, Arthur and Azkadelia wouldn't even meet until about halfway through the year. They could be married by the end. But the earliest they could have a kid would be late in 2019. I'm gonna say a girl and call her Elezmerelda, because I've been looking for an excuse to use that name. Martha and Mickey have a girl in late 2018, early 2019. Angeline, Angie for short. Holly and Z have a girl in, oh, Dec 2018. Calista, Callie for short. Sally, Maria, and Alice have boys. Quinn's little brother is called Perry, born in 2019. Mathias Lorne, Matty for short. Kenny Nightingale, born in 2019. Lola Band. Luke and Maria's son is born in 2018. Bryan Smith.

Cece: we were in Miras, yeah?
Moment: out of curiousity, before we go on
Moment: what does Maia do?
Cece: if you want to use her you'll have to put her in either an APD precinct or the hospital or lawyering
Moment: she's young, but we have the smartpill
Moment: she could be Kevin Walker's protigee
Cece: but back to APD
Moment: there should probably be at least one murder
Cece: set it as Feb
Cece: let's say Diana and Maia aren't the only ones who Marco transported to Atlantis
Cece: I like Kevin Burkoff and Tess
Cece: and a couple other people around Kevin's office, where he does the promicin compatibilty tests
Cece: which, btw, would be the reason for the killing
Cece: Kevin and Tess brought a few promicin shots with them
Cece: but one of the folk in this verse, where promicin is not a normal thing, totes killed a P+
Cece: Kevin has this little lab in Atlantis
Moment: you think Atlantis could synthesize promicin?
Moment: since they have the samples Kevin and Tess brought
Cece: I don't see why not
Cece: we haven't done jewels or bombs yet
Cece: I'm saying let's do a bomb threat, in July
Moment: and as for jewels?
Cece: a necklace, diamonds, is stolen
Cece: turns out it's not made of diamonds, the crystals are data storage devices
Cece: and they are full of illegal information
Cece: the thief totally didn't know that
Moment: we still need... six more stories?
Cece: five
Cece: because that thing we switched to Refugee's was switched back to Miras when you switched who Miras was
Moment: let's see... we have three thefts in Miras already
Moment: Lenna and Maddie's joyride is this year, maybe we could do something else with the Jumpers?
Cece: a crash, I'd say
Moment: now, about that promicin Kevin brought with him
Moment: let's say someone breaks into the lab and steals some
Moment: and is targetting people who will probably die if they get the shot, and murdering them by giving them the shot
Moment: so it looks like suicide, like they tried for P+ness and failed
Moment: except that one of the victims? didn't die, got abilities instead
Moment: and from there on it's a manhunt
Cece: something from Earth, a shipment of something
Cece: there's something hidden in it, something that was meant to be smuggled elsewhere
Cece: but it ended up in Atlantis instead
Moment: and we haven't done anything with weapons this season
Moment: we did gunrunning in First Precinct and ammo replacement in Occasum Precinct
Moment: what sort of weapon crimes are left?
Cece: well you could just have things being stolen from the armoury
Cece: it is allowed to be that simple
Cece: what do we end with?
Moment: something with computers?
Moment: give Marco something to do
Cece: a computer virus that crashes any computer that tries to access certain information
Moment: we've made it to Refugee's District
Cece: that's sheriffJack, Fraser, the Ray's, and Frannie
Cece: I'm going to assume that the Athosians have animals, like a farm sort of thing
Moment: I think that's a fair assumption
Cece: someone lets all the animals go
Cece: a vegetarian-type or something
Cece: you know, protesting the killing of animals
Cece: real estate fraud?
Moment: sure, let's go with that
Cece: I don't think there's been a drowning yet
Cece: Dief should be dognapped
Cece: a murder over an illegitimate child
Cece: vandalism
Moment: expand on that one
Cece: topiaries
Cece: someone is destroying them
Cece: and leaving messages in the wreckage
Moment: that's half of Refugee's finished already
Moment: someone should spike the Athosian wine
Cece: and we haven't done pollution, which is something Fraser would be all over
Moment: um... crop circles?
Cece: also the sort of thing Fraser would get involved in
Cece: sabotage of some sort?
Moment: some sort of theft
Cece: and you haven't done a real rape anywhere
Moment: but we go out on the theft, not the rape
Cece: I'm looking at the timeline and thinking...
Cece: Occasum and Miras open at the same time
Cece: rather than Miras and Refugee's
~
Slashy (10:17 PM): want to work on Atlantis?
Slashy (10:18 PM): where are we? March 2014?
Cece (10:18 PM): it needs to be Shep's team
Slashy (10:20 PM): hmm... I don't think it's an arc story
Slashy (10:21 PM): but June has to be
Slashy (10:21 PM): so Shep's team goes offworld to a planet where Todd's Wraithness gets them in trouble
Slashy (10:22 PM): June, then, is Young's team, since it's an arc story
Cece (10:23 PM): they've been infected for over a year
Cece (10:23 PM): we should be seeing some of those effects now
Slashy (10:24 PM): well, I think they got a more pure dose than Etra, which explains why his symptoms are slower
Slashy (10:24 PM): I think they should get caught in the Dream
Cece (10:25 PM): do they get out?
Slashy (10:26 PM): not until near the end of the arc
Slashy (10:26 PM): their eyes crystal over and they're not quite comatose; we start the story in their heads, but we end with the other teams
Cece (10:27 PM): and July, when Amber brings the group from Psych? which team is that?
Slashy (10:27 PM): Shep's
Slashy (10:30 PM): so August is for Aly's, except that Aly is still on maternity
Slashy (10:31 PM): so that team right now is Clo'neill, boySusan, Vala, and Jeannie
Cece (10:33 PM): but by the next story for their team (which is the second Confessional story) Aly is back, right?
Slashy (10:33 PM): yes
Slashy (10:35 PM): now, the team goes offworld
Slashy (10:36 PM): are we on the arc?
Cece (10:37 PM): we probably should be
Slashy (10:40 PM): we go to a planet with advanced stage halfborn infection
Slashy (10:41 PM): like, at least as far as Young's team
Cece (10:42 PM): the crystalline eyes thing. can they talk? give us information?
Slashy (10:44 PM): if they're a bit further than Young's team, I think
Slashy (10:46 PM): possibly they got a higher dose of the light part of the Lights than the sound part
Slashy (10:47 PM): their eyes were one of the first things to go
Cece (10:48 PM): and Sept for Shep's team?
Slashy (10:53 PM): I think one of our team members is nearly hanged as a witch
Slashy (10:53 PM): girls on Shep's team are Cassie and Cadman
Slashy (10:55 PM): I'm going to say this is one of those worlds where women who are equal to men are obviously evil
Slashy (10:56 PM): Cadman gets dragged away but Cassie figures out how to play along
Slashy (10:56 PM): and they rescue Cadman
Cece (10:57 PM): then there's the Confessional
Cece (10:58 PM): then Shep's team, on the arc
Slashy (10:59 PM): a spacegate
Slashy (11:00 PM): there are no longer people on the planet and the lights appear in the sky
Slashy (11:01 PM): we get the radiation spike but not the light or sound, since we are a bit too far away
Slashy (11:02 PM): good for research gathering, tho
Cece (11:02 PM): and 2014 ends with Aly's team, probably part one of two
Slashy (11:05 PM): I think we should find an etherahi moonship. crashed, obviously. we can get telemetry and stuff from it but we won't get enough info to learn the why's
Slashy (11:08 PM): and it's not a two parter, since the 2015 year starts with the next scheduled influx
~
One of the things we got from the crashed moonship was a transmitter. We can create the Lights, in a modified form, to study it under lab conditions. Then in March Shep's team. Maybe something changed for Young's team. I want to say there's a point at which the infection becomes permanent; it won't be reversable once the Lights are reversed. So Young's team wake up, for lack of a better word, and they've definitely changed. But for now they still have their own latent memories. They head straight for the gate and need to be tracked down, it's a twoparter spanning into April.
How much of Atlantis is infected? The majority of Refugee's District, a good portion of Novum, probably a bit more than that. If we assume that a bunch of adults reach that permanent state but their children didn't -- I've been toying with the idea that children would be infected a lot slower than adults -- then these children would need homes. The thawing takes long enough, and the children would be timefrozen until they were thawed, these kids would be my -8graders, with 19/20 "birthdays". Until they're thawed these kids require about as much responsibility as chiapets, if not less. I'm giving them to gay couples who don't already have kids: Fraser and the Ray's, McLenka, Clo'neill and Parrish, Fargo and Larry. The remaining one child is a problem. (Yes, one, the sixth -8 grader is Arthur and Azkadelia's second child.)
We have to find an active moonship and fly out to it, and contact the etherahi to get the Lights reversed. It has to be a twoparter, and let's say June/July 2016. Once the Lights have been reversed the fullborn lose their latent memories and leave for the moonship, and the chiachildren are adopted. That's August.
Back to 2015. May. For Aly's team. Offworld. Clo'neill is the only guy on the team, but we've done enough sexist societies so it must be something else. A tropical planet with warnings written all around but no danger on the scans. Turns out there's this fruit which doesn't register danger but does weird things to the y chromosome.
Shep's team gets the Confessional story in June, then Aly's team gets... something for Jeannie in July and something for Vala in November.
Jeannie has those nanites in her, inactive but there. They could make her a lightning rod. She'd do it on purpose and obviously survive.
Vala... this should have something to do with Addie. Since Morgan was descended Alteran were they all three descended the same? Must have been, cos that makes sense. So maybe there's something in their new genes. A mutation or disease that's been waiting to get out. Astrid dies but Morgan and Addie get cured.
I have no ideas for February, but March should be an arc story. A planet where the halfborn are just ignored until they go crystalline, when they're considered not-alive and stored in cave to be sold as precious gems. This is probably where the chiachildren come from.
We have to make at least one attempt to cure the halfborn medically. I mean we probably did as a subplot before, but it ought to be a main. Say April.
Feb and Sept for Aly, May for Shep, non-arc stories.
May should focus on Ronon, since that hasn't happened in a while. I'm going to say this is the reappearance of the 'if it's only offered to you' rule. Ronon as totes poisoned.
February should focus on Aly. A planet with a festival, with lei's. Which she is allergic to. Sept is after the end of the arc, so maybe it's about time to visit the planet of the uninfected again.
~
I have five "chiachildren" to be adopted out. I have six gay couples I could force them on. Four of them I've already decided on. The remaining chiachild goes to either Shassie or John/Sherlock. Am I correct in thinking that even with Shawn's irresponsibility, a child is more likely to survive there than with Sherlock?
~
Slashy (11:36 PM): oh, you remember that question I emailed you yesterday for you to answer today?
Raquel Tabor (11:37 PM): As *hilarous* as it would be to have Sherlock and John raise a child, I'm going to have to give it to Shassie, since I think Lassie would be an *adorable* father and Shawn would be even cuter.
Raquel Tabor (11:37 PM): Sherlock'n'John need to babysit various children, though
Raquel Tabor (11:37 PM): because that would be great
Slashy (11:38 PM): (I would be terribly worried about Sherlock performing experiments on the chiachildren before they thawed.)
Slashy (11:39 PM): now I need to assign genders to the five chiachildren. did I remember to send you a list of who the other four "couples" are?
Slashy (11:43 PM): Fraser and the Ray's, McLenka, Clo'neill and Parrish, Fargo and Larry
Slashy (11:44 PM): three of the chiachildren are girls, two are boys
Raquel Tabor (11:44 PM): Shassie get a girl
Raquel Tabor (11:44 PM): and Clo'neill and Parrish get a girl
Slashy (11:45 PM): Fargo and Larry get a boy, I think
Raquel Tabor (11:45 PM): McLenka get a boy.
Slashy (11:47 PM): I like Simone and Kerry for girls names, but I have no idea which girls they are
Slashy (11:47 PM): I also like Pamela.
Raquel Tabor (11:47 PM): Shassie get Kerry, I think.
Slashy (11:47 PM): and whose last name does Kerry get?
Raquel Tabor (11:48 PM): Do shassie get married?
Slashy (11:48 PM): I have no idea
Slashy (11:48 PM): I clearly haven't thought this all the way through
Slashy (11:49 PM): they got together in the April Skouris story, which is about three months before they get to Atlantis. They are in Atlantis for two and a half years before the start of the newverse.
Raquel Tabor (11:50 PM): Lassie probably asks. Shawn freaks out, even though they've been in a committed relationship for over two years. He eventually says yes, after a week or two and a hit from the clue stick.
Raquel Tabor (11:50 PM): so they're engaged at that point, maybe?
Slashy (11:50 PM): yeah, that makes sense
Slashy (11:51 PM): okay, which couple gets Simone and which gets Pamela?
Slashy (11:53 PM): Pamela Parrish sounds adorable even though I'm 99% sure that their baby would have Clo'neill's last name.
Slashy (11:54 PM): because Parrish is *so obviously* the "girl" in the relationship
Slashy (11:55 PM): I do think I'll give them Pamela, though
Slashy (11:55 PM): which begs the question of... poor Simone. Fraser and the Ray's. That is a last name *minefield*.
Slashy (11:56 PM): Fraser, Kowalski, Vecchio
Slashy (11:56 PM): I'm pretty sure they're married
Slashy (11:56 PM): which, again. wtf last names?
Slashy (11:57 PM): Kowalski *might* have changed his, but no way Vecchio did anything other hyphenate
Slashy (11:58 PM): and I have *no* idea what Fraser did, if anything
Slashy (11:58 PM): can I just give Simone Fraser's name?
Slashy (11:59 PM): now the boy chiachildren
Slashy (12:01 AM): McLenka might go with a Czech name. Not that I know any Czech names.
~
Slashy (11:04 PM): Miklos McKay has alliteration going for it, but Miklos Zelenka sounds more authentic. And I think Rodney would be hesitant to attach his name to it.
Raquel Tabor (11:04 PM): give him time. He'll come around.
Slashy (11:04 PM): by which you mean "Zelenka will eventually talk him around"
Slashy (11:05 PM): I didn't come up with a first name for Fargo/Larry's chiason
Slashy (11:05 PM): but I did decide whose last name it would have
Slashy (11:05 PM): "I've no idea what Larry's last name is, but since he's even more obviously the girl than Parrish is, I think it's safe to assume the baby has Fargo's last name."
~
Slashy (3:21 PM): ...were men allowed to be Companions in the flyverse or was a girls-only trade? (I am a freak.)
Raquel Tabor (3:23 PM): firefly wiki says "A Companion is allowed to choose his/her own clients"
Slashy (3:30 PM): so in the newverse Inara is the only Companion, which means she gets to open up Companion "school" or whatever you call it and train a whole new group. This is obviously somewhere in the City of Whores, because *really*. There is crime at Companion school but they can't call cops in, so Neal goes undercover as a "student". Because Neal is pretty enough that he could be a Companion, if he weren't married to Peter and El by this point. Does this make any sense at all?
Raquel Tabor (3:30 PM): yes
Slashy (3:48 PM): so Kelly walked through the room, glanced at my notes on that Companion school idea, and walked away. Just now, from the other room, she yells quite loudly, "You know Tesla's gonna be a Companion, right?"
~
Slashy (10:14 PM): how soon after the GalaxyQuest Con (which is Laliari's First Contact and the start of Gus/Juliet, in case you forgot) can I plausibly have Shawn get their group kidnapped into space by the Thermians?
Raquel Tabor (10:14 PM): give it...a month
Slashy (10:45 PM): now that I'm actually looking at the cvs I realize that I've started Gus/Jules in my second story, which doesn't leave me much time at all to start and end Shules. Also, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with Abigail. ~headdesk~
Slashy (10:46 PM): Kelly think I should just give Shawn a throwaway line about how he and Abigail broke up a couple weeks ago and didn't anyone get the memo
Slashy (11:56 PM): right now the way I have it set up, I have nine stories for Psych. Since the canon break is at the midseason finale. could I just call the first eight it and count that Move To Atlantis story as a special? (the only thing I have with this plan is that it leaves me... no room whatsoever for Shules.)
Slashy (11:59 PM): actually, if I just... don't put Jules return from maternity as it's own story, just make it part of the one that would be after that... it doesn't even have to be a special. ~headdesk~
~
Slashy (9:32 PM): after Amber's Rescue, does the trio become a quartet and if so how does that arrangement get negotiated? (by which I mean, Amber/Wilson is sort of guaranteed, but what about the rest of it?)
Slashy (9:37 PM): see, while I'm positive of Amber/Wilson, I can't bring myself to believe Amber/Cuddy, which means there's *some* form of timeshare negotiation going on
Raquel Tabor (10:01 PM): Cuddy and Amber sleep on opposite sides of the bed.
Raquel Tabor (10:02 PM): and may watch, depending on who's in the mood for what.
Slashy (10:03 PM): I'm now imagining them sitting down at a big negotiating table to decide that
Raquel Tabor (10:03 PM): they will
Raquel Tabor (10:03 PM): absolutely
Slashy (10:05 PM): now, are the trio married before Amber's Rescue?
Raquel Tabor (10:05 PM): sure
Slashy (10:06 PM): so does Amber marry into the whole group or not marry any of them or... there are actually quite a few options here.
Raquel Tabor (10:06 PM): Marries Wilson
~
Slashy Subtext:okay, my list is up. do I *really* need to follow NCIS to the births of the second two kids, or can I leave it with the paradox as the last pattern story?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Don't leave it with the paradox.
Slashy Subtext:okay, then I need... December 2011
Slashy Subtext:February, April, June, August, October, and December for 2013 and 2014
Slashy Subtext:and February and either March or April for 2015
Slashy Subtext:at best we'll be able to cross IPS a couple times. maybe the Unit in some of the later ones.
Slashy Subtext:there are six things for the Unit I could make crosses. that would cover almost all of 2012, if I did them all. Should I?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:yes'
Slashy Subtext:I need a just NCIS story for February 2012
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Marine killed while on leave by a mate
Slashy Subtext:(on a minor side note: Mark Benford would have gone into witness protection soon after the explosion at the end of FF, which means May 2010. Janis was abducted then and I think if I give her a year she could talk Lita around and they could go in together. That gives me two IPS stories I didn't have before.)
Slashy Subtext:okay, so, I'm thinking of only having IPS stories when I need them, instead of on some sort of pattern. basically the same way I've done the stories for House
Slashy Subtext:(speaking of, I do need about a year of AGH stories, just to be fair.)
Slashy Subtext:I still need three years of NCIS stories and I can't use the Unit anymore.
Slashy Subtext:that means the only crosses I can get are for IPS
Slashy Subtext:February of 2013 as a cross?
Slashy Subtext:I need, er, some sort of story
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:IPS comes to relocate a seaman?
Slashy Subtext:sure let's go with that
Slashy Subtext:I could do a Warehouse 13 cross in June?
Slashy Subtext:let's see... what sort of artefact would be likely to turn up around NCIS. Any sort of famous persons gun or something?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:wasn't somebody's dad a civil war renactor? Tony's?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Is Tony's dad dead?
Slashy Subtext:you would know better than I would
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:he's not
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:but we can kill him
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:he might've had a civil war-era gun that belonged to somebody important.
Slashy Subtext:...I've just realized how absolutely spectacular it will be to have Tony interact with Pete Lattimer.
Slashy Subtext:I need to cross these programmes more
Slashy Subtext:but before I go further, a just NCIS story for April 2013
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Seaman killed by drug runners who mistake him for someone else
Slashy Subtext:greatness
Slashy Subtext:August is the birth of Razi, so October is my next blank
Slashy Subtext:I'm thinking another W13. Ziva gets a book of some sort written in Hebrew, which is an artefact. y/n?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:sure
Slashy Subtext:December 2013. I feel like if I'm gonna keep doing W13 then everyone should have an artefact at some point.
Slashy Subtext:should Dec be an W13 or an IPS cross?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:w13
Slashy Subtext:Abby gets Dracula's Fangs?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:sure!
Slashy Subtext:that one was so easy
Slashy Subtext:okay, now I need another just NCIS story
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:SpecOps marine's son held hostage by terroists
Slashy Subtext:April 2014, W13 or IPS?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:IPS
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:A SEAL's identity is revealed while he's still active and he has to go into hiding
Slashy Subtext:June, W13 or just NCIS?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:just NCIS
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Abby hasn't been kidnapped or threatened lately.
Slashy Subtext:true
Slashy Subtext:so, kidnapped/threatened by who why?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:family of a person who the team convicted
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:revenge
Slashy Subtext:August, W13, yeah? who should we give an artefact to this time?

Slashy Subtext:okay, if Oct is just NCIS then Dec will be the Warehouse. Gibbs turn to get an artefact. What would he get?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:A medal of the first decorated marine
Slashy Subtext:Sweet. then Feb is also Warehouse 13. either Ducky or directorJenny's turn. which?
Slashy Subtext:(April is IPS, the dead guy was in witness protection.)
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:Ducky
Slashy Subtext:what sort of artefact?
Slashy Subtext:I'm just gonna write "an artefact" and call that it
Slashy Subtext:May is the birth of Davy, so July is the last W13 cross. directorJenny. any idea what kind of artefact she'd get?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:something french
Slashy Subtext:good enough for me
Slashy Subtext:September... we wanted Erela kidnapped when she was older, yeah?
Slashy Subtext:she should be school age by now
Slashy Subtext:December should be just NCIS, so Feb should be IPS, yeah?
racktabboo@rocketmail.com:sure
Slashy Subtext:let's see... witness disappears, reappears in a navy base

Raquel Tabor (Jul 14 11:19 PM): Call it June
~
the Confessional was attached to an empty version of Serenity when the flyverse imploded. So the ship is there, empty, until after Amber's Rescue. I think Amber's Rescue has to be staged from inside empty Serenity. So the rescue group has to go on a bit of a quest. Get to the Room, get the Trinket, get to empty Serenity. Okay, so we start with getting... newJenny to our rescue group. Because newJenny knows where Serenity is and can fly the Room. Here's the thing: Donna is the closest thing Jenny has to a mother, and Handy doesn't need her anymore. He did once, when he was Ten. Ten always needed Donna. But Handy II doesn't. (Just wait until I have the time to discuss Handy and the Master.) So, once upon a time Jenny had a VM. If she left it with youngGibbs and he kept it, she could use it to track him down. And he could lead her to the Room. Donna and Queel go with her, leaving Handy and the Master alone. So that story is part of Carus APD. Now, I don't thinking the newverse is wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey until at least a year after integration, or possibly not even then. it's strictly linear until I decide otherwise. poor folk who aren't at all used to living on the slow path. So January to the Confessional is actually the story where Amber leads them through. They spend some time wandering the empty Serenity. Then Feb is newJenny et al leaving; it's the second story for the Confessional and the first for the Room.
It should be plenty easy to work with Torchwood City. Since for the first year it's just TWP. And the Namia, I think. The Namia totes lands in the beginning of Torchwood City. Now technically Bad Wolf caused integration, so how is the Namia at the beginning of the newverse? If all Tardises are on the slow path, then the Namia and the Cafe would both end up at the beginning of the newverse. Both of cloneJosie's kids are held back a year. Learning disability as a side effect of growing up in near isolation. That means Torchwood City is comprised of the Cafe, the BHH Building that is their actual headquarters, a few city blocks, the double-tardis which is TWP, and a few blocks of buffyverse London. In terms of people that's Blackie, Fay, Frank, Holly, Z, Lucas, cloneJosie, their two kids, Nick, twoStephen, altTaylor, altIanto, daughterAlice, her two boys, Lorne, Katie, Tony, Effy, Naomi, Emily, their two kids, Meg, Jamie, altHarriet. For the first year, Harriet is strictly in charge. Even Blackie agrees to this. The Jan 2017 story for them is calming the mass panic. Eventually, after Integration, Torchwood City will organize itself like Atlantis. Districts. There'll be two London's, so SJA's is Swansea. The Sanctuary I've been assuming is around Oxford. Where in Canada is BHH? Ontario. Downing Street is the obvious equivalent to the Tower. So Torchwood City is made up of: Downing Street, Ontario, London, Cardiff, Glasgow, Swansea, Oxford.
Let's see. Jan 2017. We've done all three Tardises and Torchwood City. We still need to do Illyeana/the Christa, the Eureka Maru, Atlantis, Carus APD, Dinotopia, and the Ozian Palace. Dinotopia and the Palace are easy. Dinotopia's intrustion into Ozian waters has caused a tidal wave. January is the Palace dealing with that, ending with our group sailing off to find the cause of the disturbance. February for both is the first contact story. Dinotopia's Jan story is of course dealing with having yet again moved and the earthquakes this tends to cause. Illyeana/the Christa for January is stabilizing their new orbit around Trance's sun, while Feb is their first contact with Torchwood City. Atlantis is the two part migration from the SGC through the new open gate and the opening of Carus District. January for Carus APD is the necessary 'where did you come from' stuff and it's opening. While it's Feb is newJenny and the Room, Atlantis Feb story is first contact with the Eureka Maru, where Beka has just given birth. The Eureka Maru's Jan story is getting back online after the explosion that brough them there. That's the newverse to February.
June is Amber's Rescue. Other than the Room, who is this rescue? Gotta be H/W. So May must be the Room at the hospital, so the rescue can follow. The Room is chilling around Atlantis for the months in between, so March'll be their first contact. Then the April Atlantis story is for Shep. A side effect of Susan having been fobwatched when she gave birth starts to affect their child. The kid needs to have the equivalent of an unfobwatching and refobwatching. And Susan's Tardis... isn't there. Which is odd, but since the Doctor's Tardis chose to stay... eh. So the Room'll have to do it.
Let's finish March. The Eureka Maru, what are they up to. At some point I want to link them to Atlantis, since the Daedalus didn't make it so all they have is Jumpers. But they don't associate yet. March must be just them, then, since they can't attach to Atlantis until May at the latest. So in March... well, if they stick around Atlantis that makes it easier later and it's not like we're actually limited to one story per month. So the ship is probably still in drydock, so the crew are wandering the city. Maybe they can help out Carus APD. April the Eureka Maru has to encounter the empty Serenity. They'd set up a beacon, which is what alerts newJenny so she can stage Amber's Rescue. Where is the Confessional in March? It's just the Master and Handy. I think we'll have them amake an attempt at timetravel and fail, while dealing with their weird relationship (which I seriously want to talk about). Torchwood City/the Namia in March. Did TWP have a supply of promicin from when they merged with PARC? If we say yes that March can be the P+ing of the acceptable Cafe members. The Christa next; they just had first contact with Torchwood City, so if we assume they're still in orbit around New New Lantea... I give up trying to do this in the right order. After Amber's Rescue the Serenity comes to Atlantis for drydoc, because Atlantis and Illyeana are it for drydock. At the end of this story, Inara and her Companion shuttle stay, and she opens up Companion School. Atlantis "buys" the Eureka Maru's loyalty in May. In June Atlantis finally sends a Jumper over to Torchwood City for their first contact, and in August they swap Ambassadors. I haven't decided who they are yet. In July the Eureka Maru is having contact with the Christa, which is returning to Illyeana. The Christa has first contact with Atlantis sometime after that... September. Atlantis is finished through Sept. In Oct the brainsyncing completes, leaving Daniel with Cytherian mindcontrol. First they bring him into custody, then in Nov they bring him to Dinotopia for first contact and de-brainwashing. Then Dec is his retirement and Robert taking his place. Atlantis is finished for the first year. Now do we need to be following everybody every month? I don't think we do. I think Dinotopia we can do as we've been doing, as it becomes necessary. Carus absolutely has to be every month, as that is APD tradition. The Ozian Palace, I'm thinking as necessary. Torchwood City and the Christa should be every month, but the Eureka Maru and Serenity should be as needed. When does the Namia leave TWP? Sometime after the Atlantis first contact. After Serenity leaves drydock there must be one story on their own before they encounter each other and Mal learns he has a son. Which is the point at which the crews need to be sorted. See, Mal is a fundamentally good guy; he'd want to do right by Beka and Aiden. He isn't as defined by Serenity as Beka is by the Maru, and he has an actual second in command while Beka doesn't. So Mal will go with the Maru, leaving Zoe as captain of Serenity. I think Simon and River go back to Serenity. Simon/Trance ended when they hit the newverse. She transformed back to gold at that point, too, jsyk. I always assumed "not your Icarus" was a good thing, but maybe it's not. ("He touched the sun, Trance." "What?" "Icarus He was so brave and foolish he touched the sun. That's how love is." "River, Icarus *died*." "Everyone dies. Even you, some day.") Torchwood City... may one day be every month, but not during the first year; no April or May stories. In June the Confessional should visit the Maru. They were aiming for a ship so they could have a captain marry them. (Seriously want to talk about this.) After the honeymoon sometime they have to encounter Rose and Namia again. Nothing quite like taking your new husband to see your exwife to up the awkward. I can drop April and May for the Confessional too. That Serenity story right out of drydock... Serenity has Doyle, so what happens if her battery dies? That's a story.
Is there some sort of outward sign that Trance's sun is different? August, something goes weird. Whatever it is affects Trance as an Avatar as well as the sun itself. Oh, before I forget. Dominic Fargo. Now all the kids have names. Katie would be the Lantean Ambassador, so her little fam unit is living on Atlantis. And Chloe has to be the TWC Ambassador, since she's been gateverse PR. Effy is obviously going to be a Companion; so now I have to figure out exactly how Keffony works. I totally believe that Katie and Effy are in love, but in part due to Carmen Effy can't just settle down. She's always been... well, easy isn't the right word but it's close. Which Katie knows and accepts. Now Tony... he's actually the exact same kind of picky-but-easy as his sister, so Katie is really very awesome for putting up with this. Tony is also going to be a Companion. Trance must be lonely, since none of the newverse suns have Avatars. This is, I'm pretty sure, the very first mention of there being other startsystems in the newverse. There are, of course, I'm just not doing anything with them yet.
What about the Limerick? The entirety of the NTA is contained therein. Grace dies destroying the cyberplant, Jack and John are both dead, QLSam ceased to exist, Friday died ages ago with the Family of Blood, Malcolm retired with Ee... so the only originals are Karen and Max, and the remaining recruits are... Helena, Katie, altStephen, Neal, and dodgyKate. Katie and Neal are both on Atlantis, altStephen was with the Namia but he and altJon stayed in Torchwood City when the Namia left. Helena and dodgyKate would be the only ones on the Limerick. There's really no need for a Time Agency in a strictly linear universe, and I've been toying with the idea that VMs might not work for teleportation anymore either, so they're stuck until one of our ship groups finds them. In Oct the Christa finds them and in Nov it leaves them at Torchwood City.
This is the point at which I decide that only the stories that should be told should be told. That sounds redundanct, but I swear it's not. The only stories the Christa needs that first year should be it's first contacts. Torchwood City in February, the Eureka Maru in July, Atlantis in Sept. I'm fairly confident she won't meet Serenity until the second year. I'm thinking it should have an Ozian Palace story, April. And Dinotopia, May. That means the Christa is finished for the first year. After Amber's Rescue, what does the Room do? That's Donna, Jenny, and Queel. Um... do they have any stories left to be told? That might as well be it for them. I think once all the necessary stories are told, the newverse is an excellent sandbox, but not a sereies or outline like the rest of the cvs. The Namia after leaving Torchwood City and meeting with the Confessional. I think that's it for both of them. So Carus APD has to be brought through and that's it, for the first year. Integration, then.
Obviously, Torchwood City's first story of the new year should be the integration of TWG, TWS, SJA, and the UK Sanctuary. Now, Atlantis hasn't done an Ozian Palace story, which considering the fact that the gate leads down to the planet is a bit odd. So the first story for them is sending a team through the gate. Feb would be that team's first contact with the Palace. They... do have a ship, yeah? Let's say yeah. So that's March. April they have to do first contact with Wonderland. Now Wonderland has two portals -- the Looking Glass which leads to Torchwood City, and the Stone Door, which leads... I suppose to the Palace. So May would be Palace/Wonderland first contact, and June would be the Az/Arthur engagement. The royal wedding is the next January.
Newverse things: chiachildren thaw (July of the third year). Chase/Zoe wedding. Many births. Morgana/Islington alliance.
Morgana and Islington should escape sometime after Arthur and Azkadee's engagement but before the royal wedding. We'll want Aug/Sept as a two parter, and one of them needs to die but the other escapes. And let's all be honest, they kidnap Kazim. Poor kid is going to end up with a conference. So in August Morgana and Islington escape and kidnap Kazim. In Sept Morgana is killed but Islington escapes with Kazim. As if that's going to be allowed -- Oct they get Kazim back, but I think Aziraphale is the only one who could actually do anything permanent to Islington. Which means Oct has to be a Wonderland story as well.
~
Let's discuss the Aschen arc. The Aschen would have been slowly building their empire for a while now. They could have allies anywhere. So Feb, after Justin and the hoverboards, SG-1 goes to this planet where the people seem friendly and an agent of the Aschen comes through. They manage to avoid him and warn the friendlies of the Aschen's less than friendly plans. In April we'll go to a world that has regular contact with the Aschen, and we have to get off the planet without them noticing. Eventually we will have to encounter them instead of running away. Let's make that May, we end up on an Aschen controlled world and are captured. Brought back to the Aschen homeworld. It's a two parter and part two is staging a jailbreak with the help of an Aschen prisoner (played by the Peacekeeper woman who's killed near the beginning of s1). Her name is Raya. We can give her asylum/keep her our prisoner. Better than Aschen deathrow. Raya totally helps them when that "miracle drug" hits the market. We mentioned giving GinnLyra a new gf and I think Raya fits the bill. Now Raya does before Ginn does, in the first part of that story, which is obviously a two parter. The Aschen storm the SGC, Raya is fataly injured and Sam is captured. Hailey calls her doctor gf, which is why Remy is there. The Aschen storm the SGC again, because we're currently running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. And that's when Ginn is killed and Lyra transfers to Remy. Since Remy needs to have Asha for... let's give her a six month contract, she'd get Asha in Sept and have her removed in March. GinnLyra/Raya would start in Oct. Now, that Ginn/Raya death story is not actually an end. Sam has still been captured and the SGC needs someone to take over until we can find her and bring her back. Which, okay, interrim commander... Robert is VP, so Chloe dad. He won't let them go search for Sam without more info, which while smart is also dickish. In July the Aschen send a ransom note for Sam and SG-1 go to the meeting against orders. It does not go well and they don't get sam back. Sept they're on suspension, grounded, whatever, can't go offword and have to get all their info from other teams. In Oct they're allowed offworld in a non-saving-Sam capacity, where naturally an Aschen ship arrives, they stow away. Fortunately for them the ship takes them to Sam, who they can break out, but since they've been gone so long they can't go to the SGC cause their codes are old, and since the Aschen are in pursuit they go to another world first... prolly the free Jaffa world Teal'c is on. But then they're home. Sam is put back in charge in December. I've got a few blanks but I'd rather move foreward. I feel like the Aschen made it easy to get Sam back; I think she's boobytrapped. They infected her upon capture with some sort of time release bug. A year after capture (May) it would strike. Sam is just a carrier, they made sure of that. A bunch of non-main people die before they realize what's happened and by then it's too late to quarantine. This is a superbug akin to what Sophia was planning on The Event. Enough to at least decimate the Earth's population. We have to start going on the offensive now. This is an actual war. That July we go to a world where we avoided the Aschen before and start taking prisoners. The pople of that planet are less than thrilled. Their tech is too advanced for us to storm their non-sattelite worlds through the gate. Instead we'll have to starve them out. Destory their sattelite farms. That means we need a weapon that can kock their ships out of the sky simultaneously, or a bioweapon that will destory all their crops. I'm thinking it's probably the second one. Actually... the Lucian Alliance. We still don't like them, but maybe we could use them to our advantage. Get some farm locations from the prisoners, then seed their fields with stolen kassa. Get the Aschen nice and addicted. Then we can pit them against one another. First we take control of a Lucian supplyship, and transport the kassa to an Achen farmworld. We'd have to have other teams doing the same thing. Then we lure a Lucian ship to one of these planets and show them that someone else is growing kassa. Now the Lucians and the Aschen are quite busy fighting each other. In Dec they can both contact us for assistance, and we will laught at them both. By June of 2016 the Aschen homeworld is all that's left of their empire, and only a handful of Lucian ships remain. The Aschen don't have any ships. I think it's about time we started interfering. SG-1 can go to the Aschen world and take a crude shuttle up to one of the Lucian ships. Which they would ten take over. All the prisoners go down to the planet and the Aschen prisoners go through the gate, and then we have the captured ships take the gate, stranding them there. After that we start with the destruction of the kassa. Now sometime after we plant the kassa we'll want to see sickly Aschen, so Jan. Might as well start the year acknowledging our plan is working. At some prior point we want to establish that Lucians are still a problem. We want one each year, so July 13 and April 14. In June 15 I think the Lucians ambush a Jaffa ship. We do want at least one more before that, say Feb. We stumble onto a Lucian base and are captured, we escape, destroying the kassa. Okay, now, let's see, we have allies. In May we may want to see some. We'll see the Tok'ra with Asha, so not them, what about Zale's world? We could be invited there for a celebration. March 2016 let's see one of the now-broken farm planets. Back to 2013, Nov should be allies, so... something on the Jaffa world. Then we could poke our nose into Wonderland after Arthur's coronation. slayerFaith and youngMax don't really belong there, so. Someone has found a way to open the Looking Glass without the Stone of Wonderland and is using it to kidnap Oysters from the gateverse; they can get SG-1's help dealing with that, and Faith and Max can come back to the SGC. Two parter. In Feb, one of them "joins" SG-1. Which is... probably Faith, youngMax is an adult but she's still only 23 tops. I say "joins" because you can't just pop into the universe and join up. It'll take a while for that. I think Raya also "joined", when she in GinnLyra got together. March 2015 is when Faith becomes a proper team member. Now, you remember how Manticore built an expiration date into their kids? I need to decide if I'm going to kill her or let her be saved. I think we could send her to the Tok'ra... what has Max been doing? Working with Chloe, let's say. She could keep doing that, with a Tok'ra. Asha, cos that'll give us some fun awkward. That's april. We need a Jan. I want to see dryads versus Aschen. The trees would be dying; the dryads come to us for help. I havn'et forgotten the dryads, there are still some things I want to do with them. I was to visit a stable dryad dreamworld, April 2016. I want to see the affects of kassa on dryads - that's sometime after we start kassa destruction, so Sept 16. And I think I want something with dryad treeships. Lucians attacked one and they asked us for help. Sept 15. Nov 15 should be allies... May 16 is naiads; they've been poisoned by kassa. Allies, allies, and it should be a two parter. Jaffa, I guess. Four blanks left in 2016. Let's go character-driven. Aug, after we've started kassa destruction, it's vacation time. Everyone gets some tiem to go spend with their families. The previous Feb... switch Feb and APril so that Max had a one year contract with Asha. Okay, Oct and Nov. (When the Tok'ra Hosts programme goes active, we need a Tok'ra on Fake News. It'd be KittyVera. and directorJenny's Tok'ra is called Zarihn, before I forget.) We haven't had a gate malfunction in a while, so we could do that. And then a goa'uld trap. It takes you and copies, I guess. It copies you minus the symbiote and then destroys the original. Obviously RemyLyra falls into this and they rescue the original. So there are now two Remy's, and the one without the symbiote has been returned to a pre-sybiote physical state, since obvs a symbiote could do no good. So she'd get Asha back and only one of the Remy's can be dating Hailey. So RemyLyra is with Hailey and RemyAsha goes to Atlantis to work at AGH. That's SG-1 finished. We need one year of AGH and all the Lantea tags - that's birth and weddings that aren't storyline. We also need six stories for the Five, most of Carus APD, and some W13 stuff for IPS. Because of how much Warehouse stuff I'm doing, I want to send Pete and Myka to Atlantis; it'd have to be Refugee's District APD, and that fine. I'll find places to stick em later, everyone at IPS has to get an artefact. Let's leave it at that and work out what they are later. We also need to work in the start of Marshall/Mary, the Marshall/BobbyD story, and Brandi's wedding. I think Mary's artefact story should be Brandi's wedding, the artefact is one of the rings. Marshall/BobbyD and Mary/Eleanor would take place in Stan's artefact story; I'm think Isaac Asimov's paperweight - if you don't get this reference, you should ask.

Clary: How many teachers do I need for the newverse? And, considering the set-up of the newverse, of how many species do I need them? (And a side question, I feel like there should be Time Tots in the newverse, but I'm not sure if that's just me or not. Opinion?)
Tate: Starting with the first question, I'll move on to the next one eventually. Ozian Academy is over a period of five years, so only one set of teachers. Illyeana Space School is over a period of six years, so only one set of teachers. Atlantis School is over a period of fourteen years, so two sets. Maybe. You could have some teachers stay for the -9 graders, who are the only Lanteans after the -4 graders, and is practical since I had a couple teachers my mom also had, and that's a thirtyish year difference. So then the question becomes, how many to a set in each school? Which depends on how many classes there are, and also how many of those classes you actually intend to show teachers for. I mean, that Bristol College in Skins must have had more than three teachers, but we didn't SEE them. So. Work through the school systems for me. Assume all schools have their core five classes already, what do we need to add?
Clary: On top of the core five, let's assume all three systems have some sort of Sex Ed course, which would include extra-species studies. And then there are the things that would be specific to the worlds they start in. The Ozian Academy would have at least one magic course. Maybe a Magic Theory and a Practical Magic course, or that being a two term combined course. Illyeana would have something to do with space travel. Lantea would also have to have it's own tech course, and an advanced Maths or Science. There weren't really other languages in the bases other than Lantea, but there we do run into a couple non-Earth languages, aside from the Earth languages that would be helpful to an Earth-colony. Lantea would also have a Jumper Drivers Ed course. And all of that leaves aside Electives almost entirely.
Tate: So that's seven, seven, and nine. Since you need two sets for Atlantis but we're assuming a bit of overlap, that's about thirty overall. Now, about the species. There are three species which we SAW in Tin Man. Illyeana Station is made up of mostly the non-Spung, free Andromedans, and the... M species I can't remember the name of. And that's on top of Davenport, cos you KNOW she's there. On Atlantis, the non-human aliens remaining should just be the Tok'ra, and they have human hosts. You could I suppose have a New Gallifreyan there, but still with the human appearance. Strangely, there are not massive piles of alien species in our home system. At least, outside the established characters. So how many of our established characters have jobs in the school systems?
Clary: Illyeana has Davenport. She's the only one of the qualified lists for Illyeana and the Ozian Academy, I think. Coming from TWC to the Lantean school we could have anyone in the Sanctuary trio, but I would love to see Tesla trying to teach 17 year olds. Y'know, since he's so *good* with children. xD There are a couple people from TWC we could have be teachers. Cutter was a teacher before but in very specific areas of study, so I'm unsure. Tessa-san agrees that altStephen should be a history teacher. And obviously Z, but cloneJosie was never his TA so not her. And on the Lantean lists... Well, no one is ever going to convince me that Daniel isn't teaching at that school. We could pick any random person from Eureka to be an advanced maths/science teacher, or freeSam. So I guess we're in the vincinity of twenty-fiveish?
Tate: Yeah, and only a very small amount of them have to be non-human. So you can basically do whatever you want with the actors and actresses and not have to worry about it. Can I go to bed now?
Clary: Absolutely. Ta muchly.
Tate: Forgot to answer, re: Time Tots. I don't see any reason you couldn't, but you have to be careful not to make them all the same age. Time travel doesn't work in the newverse the same way it did in the cvs, so you won't have that to set them by. Personally, I think the Master and Handy should be first. Then Jenny and Rose, but with them conceiving, like... at opposite ends of each other. I'm explaining this poorly. Like if Jenny got preggers first, and she was six months along when Rose concieved, so that the Time Tots would be about a year apart agewise. You could also, I suppose, have Susan concieve, but her baby would be half human and I'm not sure how Shep would feel about the Prydonian.
Clary: Time travel in the newverse, after the initial two years where it doesn't work at all, basically goes: You can move forward, but not backward. So the Tardis-bound could skip months into the future, or years, if they had Tots at the Prydonian and wanted to skip from break to break. That actually opens up the possibility that the Tots could have quite the age difference, if one group (Handy and the Master, obvs, cos they're the ones worse at research) popped into the future without verifying they could get back. Then the other group could meet them there with their toddlers/children and be all "you idiots". As for Shep and Susan, well, they could raise the kid themselves and it could go to the Prydonian as an adult, like Jenny did. Like Uni. xD

Moment: that means the newverse has 37 fandoms in it
Moment: I am about to suggest something Tatey-chan would not approve of
Moment: adding more fandoms to the newverse so it also has 42. new fandoms can exist as other planets, considering how many spaceships I have
Raquel: That's only 5 fandoms to add
Moment: does that mean I can do it?
Raquel: I say yes.
Moment: you are the only one I will consult about this until I've gone too far to stop
Moment: so, any ideas for fandom planets?
Raquel: a good portion of the Marvel U, and certainly the MarvelMovieU would apply.
Moment: you realize that I don't actually know what those words mean, right?
Raquel: MarvelMovie Universe is Captain America, who had the supersoldier serum (which was pretty much permanent steroids on steroids), Iron Man, Thor, and the Hulk (Gamma radiation, which *still* doesn't work that way).
Raquel: Basically what I'm saying is that the Marvel Movie Universe is pretty fucking realistic, especially for comic books.
Raquel: or comic book movies, rather.
Moment: and how... self-contained, let's go with, is it?
Moment: sprawling as in more than one group of characters (ie whoniverse = dw, tw, sja)
Raquel: They are different groups, but they're all part of the Avengers Initiative.
Raquel: the Avengers are a group that Tony Stark (Iron Man) formed of supers that is basically out to protect the world from bad things
Moment: so what you were going for is "relatively self-contained"?
Raquel: there's four "groups", if you want to call them that, but the only one who hasn't been approached at the end of the movie is Thor, if only because he's stuck in Valhalla right now.
Moment: okay, next question
Moment: does it have a sprawling universe?
Moment: other than the planet it is set on?
Raquel: Nope.
Moment: okay, last question
Moment: do the characters talk like real people?
Raquel: Yes.
Raquel: The writing is very good. Joss is working on the Avengers movie. I can't remember if writing or directing.
Moment: you could have opened with that
Moment: okay, I lied about the number of questions. I have one more
Moment: are these movies freely available?
Moment: you will need to give me a list
Raquel: Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America
Raquel: The Avengers and I *think* Iron Man 3 are being released next year.
Moment: okay
Moment: so that's 1/5
Moment: I'm thinking BBC's Robin Hood
Moment: so that's 2/5
Moment: I'm trying very, very hard not to suggest Harry Potter, but I think there's some sort of law that makes it not a valid crossover universe unless it's in there... (also, I'm having visions of the remaining Weasley twin travelling with the Doctor, and I DON'T KNOW WHY)
Raquel: do it.
Moment: the issue we're about to have is book canon vs movie canon
Moment: so was that a roundabout way of saying book canon, then?
Raquel: yes
Moment: so that makes 3/5
Moment: ...I have just realized that I shouldn't count Neverwhere as a newverse fandom because the newverse fandoms are after the first two years, and Islington (who was my sole remaining link) is killed during the second year...
Moment: um... we're at 3/6 fandom planets
