(And it looks like I've been avoiding this series for no reason, as I assumed it was a WIP.)
I've decided to include WIPs in the year that they were finished rather than the year they began. Partially because many people don't read WIPs until they're complete. Then also because the events in canon and fandom will probably influence the growing WIP, so while they'll overlap years, by the end they'll belong to the year they're completed.
Ideally I'd break this up by season rather than by year, as canon radically changes the flavor of fanon. But as human beings we group events naturally, or habitually, by year. So year it is.
Hmm. *thinks aloud* Now do I read through reactions to past episodes to guage the feeling of fandom and perhaps use those comments to tie fics as-reactions-to-canon? Or is that overkill? This is already a pretty big project.
*thinks* It depends on how I decide to approach it. If it's a fandom ethnography than the episode reviews are essential.
