Okay. I've got some more questions, this time mostly in-universe ones.

How exactly does a continuum function? Does it...

a. Just play back the canon over and over unless some outside force (i.e a badfic) messes with it?

b. Behave like World One in the sense that (almost!) everyone has free will?

c. Act like some combination of the two above?

d. Not work like that at all, and I need to be refreshed on how the laws of anti-physics work?

There's more questions, but I don't have the time to type them right now. I'll put them up when I'm able to.

I've always worked on the assumption that... by The Trojanhorse on 2010-03-05 05:58:00 UTC Reply

... a continuum/Word World/canon/whatever you want to call it functions like World One, and the canon stories etc are basically records of history, so the events of canon are things that have already happened - fics and sporkings therefore are sort of like 'going back in time' to a certain place in the fic, so yes, everyone technically has free will but we know how events are going to unfold because we're in the position of people from the future, as it were.

Hope that helps! And just because that's how I see it doesn't necessarily mean that's how it is :)
