Eep, that's what I get for not playing around with it first. You can tag with multiple canons?
Yeah, I don't know. But I guess one of the things I love about the fandom is that so much of the fic is archetypal more than anything else (even when it sucks). The only ties to any canon are the names and roles of the characters, sometimes, and then why pick Leroux over anything else?
I think I'd split out alternate ending and sequel (and to me, an alternate ending goes most of the way through canon before diverging; an alternate universe in this context looks like my "spies" example; so where would a story that diverges, say, in Persia fit?). Tagging and categorization is always so subjective, though (I wonder how an archive with tagging by both authors and readers would work? Could be interesting. Could be unusable).
