If there is nothing readily identifiable as "L & C" fic then, why the ban on posting Smallville and SR fic? Surely it could be argued that those are just elseworld or alt-fics?

I know ADMIN had said no to that issue, but in the light of both what Alycone has said about the elusiveness of canon and what Labrat has ruled in the quote cited above, I'm puzzled. If canon is in the eyes of the beholder, and in fact may not even exist, then isn't Smallville fic really just "Early Years" L & C, while SR is a variation of NK-fic, while both could be labelled Elsewhere fics?

I'm not requesting Smallville and SR fic be posted here - just bewildered. But I read the thread in this folder that dealt with that request and came away a bit confused by it. Alcyone's post reminded me.
