mmm. I hunted down dates. I think, based on what I was finding, she
was writing around 1998 to 2000 that series?

That's one of the problems I am having with numerous communities. No
one seems to have histories of anything. I don't think anyone has any
history of anything. Certainly people have studied it, written about
it, done textual analysis of it, studied the legal and ethical aspects
of it... but no one seems to have done a comprehensive history of it. :/
And I don't think anyone would really have a good place to start. The
thing is so convuluted and messy and trying to figure out what is
im****tant, what matters, what patterns exist, etc. is interesting and
challenging... and source material just ups and disappears. :(

Huh. Wow. Based on my watching of ER, I would never have guessed that
ER fen were doing that... :)

It was in the FAQ for the community and I thought to go looking after I
posted and you replied... *hums* So that date is now added. :)

Any dates or any trends like 1997-1999, the year that ER fen wrote
pairing x and MPreg or 2002, the year the community shrunk... those sort
of trends would be nice to know too. :) They don't need to be exact and
can be based on guesses. Just sort of interesting to know what is
happening and when... Er. Yes.
But any additional dates are good. :)

Yep, it does. Thanks for replying. :)
