After All This Time...
I've never had this happen before. When has a show lasted so long that a fanfic you wrote a while back actually has to move from "canon-compliant" to "alternate universe" due to new information being revealed about a character?
As of Season 18 continuity, Wide River to Cross must now graciously bow out of the realm of possible continuity and slip into AU territory.
At the time that fic was written, very little was known/revealed about Lisa’s horse breeding/racing business. This fic writer never imagined the series would even last as long as 18 years, or that the Writers would actually give us anything of substance concerning Lisa’s Fairfield business practices. Certain things have now been revealed as of Season 18 continuity (Ep. 1803 You Can Lead a Horse to Water) that make my own creative decisions about Lisa totally “alternate universe”.
I ain’t even mad.
