See, I made that statement because of the reasons stated immediately above it - the impossibility of trying to keep a comic fic current, especially when you don't have the budget or the inclination to follow the series that are being covered anyway.

But I only just realized that, having capped the universe's timeline like that, I've got an anchor point that I could, if I felt like it, work backward from. I've established the setting and the don't-correlate-this-too-closely-to-the-comics ground rules sufficiently with Destroys that I could probably get away with going back and showing earlier adventures of Don, Kitty, and company if I had ideas for them - either from the Excalibur period with Ray, or even all the way back to his days as an X-Man (although those would be kind of weird to do, since Don Griffin was in those days probably the only Time Lord ever to harbor a hopeless high school crush :).

Dropping tidbits about some of their earlier adventures in the discussion threads about Destroys made me think of that... I'm not saying I have any such project in the works right now, because I don't, but if one were to come along, I figure I could probably work it out.

(If anybody's interested, anyway. It's not like the world really needs more X-Men fanfic. :)
