With the recent update on HPMOR, I've been reading a few HP fanfictions : HPMOR, HP and the Natural 20, the recursive fanfiction HG and the Burden of Responsibility and a few others. And it seems my brain has trouble coping with that. I didn't have the problem with just canon and HPMOR (even when (re-)reading both in //), but now that I've added more fanfictions to the mix, I'm starting to confuse what happened in which universe, and my brain can't stop trying to find ways to ensure all the fanfictions are just facet of a single coherent universe, which of course doesn't work well...

I am the only one with that kind of problems, reading several fanfictions occurring in the same base universe ? It's the first time I try to do that, and I didn't except being so confused. Do you have some advices to avoid the confusion, like "wait at least one week (or month ?) before jumping to a different fanfiction" ?

Write up your understanding of the melange, obviously.
