Act I

A fic outlining the hypothetical first episode of my AU I discuss in my tumblr blog: @simpsonssitcom

For those who haven't seen the blog: it's 5 years in the "future," in that all the characters are 5 years older than in canon, but it's still set in modern day because of a floating timeline. The basic idea is: since the show is so bloated and self-contradictory now, what if we cherry-picked a selection of timeline details from the original show and made a reboot, trying to keep within guidelines of an internally consistent world? It only picks from the first 30 seasons and is initially set in late 2019, ignoring details from season 31 and onwards.
