have you ever tried writing time travel based on different metaphors

I haven't, all of my ideas have been a variation of, "oooo what if-, and how would x,g,w change canon and effect character development/reactions?"
That's really interesting though. Taking a thing and dropping it on fandom and going, "how does this fit or change x." I hadn't really considered that, but you learn new things every day.

"Time Travel is a Jenga game."
Oh no
My brain has already zoomed out one fic idea per fandom XD
