Anon #1 here...I'm pretty confused/impressed, because I've only told one person that I'm thinking of doing this. But if Anon #2 is also thinking of a certain work in the genre of "stealth time travel," then ze's got it. Are you the person I told? Is the internet really that small?
Incidentally, I think the how-this-cast-got-formed problem can get solved by making there be more hierarchy among them--not a set of equals, but some people who are slightly junior. They don't all need to have a common origin, they can be recruited along the way by the erstwhile protagonists (who move to second-tier status in the reformed work). And I'm planning on keeping the major het and slash ships in the piece as-is, though I can't decide whether the ghost gets to keep his ship, which was only really alluded to in his very small part in the fanfic version. (As you know if you know me, anon, it's Canon As Far As I'm Concerned...but can I make it work without that as background?)
