I don't kill

Title: You can check out any time you like
Characters: Bruce
Rating: PG
Summary: Something has changed in Gotham; Bruce doesn't know what. Reboot!fic.
Notes: Title is obviously from Hotel California, because there are obvious songs and then there are songs that are made for a specific fandom.

( Protecting the city has become... difficult, over the past few months. )

Friends, fellow comics fan.

There's only a dozen of titles that haven't been announced yet. And for how many characters that we love and will miss if they disappear? There's no way they're all going to make the cut. Not with the way DC's been choosing the titles.

So I have a proposal. Until September, let's write the hell out of these characters.

Steph and Cass aren't in the reboot? They're too cool for DC and have left to explore the Universe, they're now Cadets on the Enterprise. Your favorite Titans? Rose and Eddie are passing the popcorn and explaining newcomer Kiran why it's not all bad - they're not getting the Donna Troy treatment, not that they'd say that in her hearing. Renee Montoya hasn't been announced? She's a cop in Gotham. As for Lian? Simple: Roy doesn't know yet he has a daughter.

So what do you say, guys? If there's interest in a fest for characters forgotten by the reboot, I'll create a comm. Pass the word!

ETA: reboot_rejected launched. It will be open for posting on the day the last announcement regarding the rebooted titles are made.

So I've taken to stalk a bit of Gail Simone's Twitter - I know, I know, how the mighty are fallen - and I've realized that there's one thing that would keep me from leaving DC, even if Steph and Cass aren't immediately* accounted for in Continuity 3.0.

*(I mean, there's bound to be a writer somewhere who's introduce them as cameos for the sake of nostalgia, right? And then they can slip back into canon! I know, I know, keep on dreaming.)

My exception is if DC writes existing characters as lgbtq. I'll stick around then. Gotta encourage diversity, and it'll be a very welcome change.
