What they probably don't realize, since they're not really allowed to look at fic, is that we're an enormous writer's room, with an extremely stringent eye for detail, and so this stuff really matters to us!! Imagine if Guy Bee wrote a big bang, and didn't know what year it is, what the anon meme would say!! :P You know, after I wrote 35,000 words of coda to 5.22, during which, you know, the seasons went round, there were holidays, Dean had a birthday, I kind of noticed the passage of time in the story, and I had to deliberately decide when Sam would come back. Oh well!!
Plus, it seems like a good number of us have academic training, and we turn to good folks like you for material data to back up our claims. :D
