Here are the basics of the Infinite Time Loops Fanfiction Project, or The Infinite Loops, as it is more often called. Every piece of published original fiction exists as its own universe in the Multiverse contained within Yggdrasil, which has broken. Until it is fixed, everything is held in stasis via Time Loops to keep it from getting worse. Projected completion date for the repairs is Infinity. The Intinite Loops is the story of various characters from the universe caught up in the Time Loop, as they deal with the problems caused by having Infinite Time on their hands. Shenanigans ensue.
Immediately below are the rest of the basics, as summarized by Saphroneth.
Loop mechanics (general):
*One person in a Loop, often the main character, is an Anchor. They are the person who first starts time looping.
*There is always at least one Anchor present in a given Time Loop snippet, though it may not be the local one.
*The standard pattern for a loop is that the Anchor (and whoever else is Looping there) come to awareness in a loop at a particular point in the story. From there, events will play out as influenced by the Loopers present, acting with the benefit of their foreknowledge, until either a predetermined end point is reached or all the Loopers have copped it.
*To be Awake is to be aware of the time loops (that is, to have gone back in time this time.)
*The Anchor is the only character guaranteed to be Awake. Even after others have started looping, it is mostly random as to whether they will be Awake this particular loop.
*Crossovers, fusions, and alternate pasts can also take place. It is perfectly possible, for example, to have the characters Awaken into a loop which conforms to a fanfic universe rather than reality.
*Loops do not have to be in chronological order, but it is strongly preferred that they not require a mutually contradictory order (where A must be before B and B must be before A.)
*Just about every Looper is very, very stir crazy.
Now for some Skullgirls info:
*The Anchor for the Skullgirls Loops is believed to be Peacock(being the second one to start Looping on the SG world), but in fact it is someone elseā¦ Annie!(and Sagan), but she likes to keep her identity as a Looper a secret to EVERYONE, because of this Annie is considered a Stealth Anchor.
*If a Looper is a Parasite host, the parasite is a Looper too, but they can't never Loop without their host. (Sagan can't Loop without Annie and Avery can't Loop without Peacock.)
*The Trinity CANNOT be Loopers. Because they are Eldritch Abominations they are prohibited to Loop or visit other Loops. But they are Loop Aware and know about the Loops. Since whatever plans they had for the SG world were put on hold because of the Loops, they use this 'time-out' to just mess with the Loopers, (especially the visiting ones).
*The Same rule applies to Double.
*Any wish made upon the SkullHeart will become 'undone' by the end of the Loop.
*A common ability for loopers is the Subspace Pocket and the only way to keep items across the Loops that are not soul-bonded to you. Almost anything can be stored there with a few exceptions. The SKULLHEART being one of them. It cannot be pocketed and taken into other Loops as a precaution to not create more SkullHearts.
These are the only rules [for now]
