So there will be some people who will think that Academy City was always there, and some people who will notice and wonder WTF is this new city? Or is that somehow just us who notice? Otherwise, I worry about causality issues, which yeah, don't really have to be explained away from a setting point of view, but in terms of readers and authors following what is happening, keeping causality at least somewhat intact is generally a good idea.
Related idea: that one South Park episode where immigrants from the future keep "taking our jobs", but applied to dimensional migrants, and in the context of the 2016 U.S. elections. I know that when we started writing we weren't expecting 2016 to be the inflection point in history that it was in reality, but I have wondered what we should do with that in the context of our story. And, preferably without leaving Rajvik behind. If that's some sort of rewrite of who was running entirely, that'd be okay with me.
I realize that a liberal application of the MST3K mantra is appropriate here, but it's not quite enough unless it's consistently weird.
