Forum:Distant past/Far future categories

While looking through some pages, most recently The Angels Take Manhattan and The Wheel of Ice, we have the categories Stories set in the distant past and Stories set in the far future.

Now, here is my problem with them. What do we mean by 'distant past' and 'far future'? Do we judge the distant past/far future by what year it is now - 2012? It is really ambiguous. We have 'stories set in 2012' etc, so surely we have one for all the years that fall under 'distant past' and 'far future'?

'Distant past' and 'Far future' are really vague. They seemed to me that we are basing them on a in universe perceptive of someone living in 2012.

I propose we scrap these categories and replace them with something else. MM/ Want to talk? 14:26, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
