Worldbuilding Hows And Whys And Whats.

I identify primarily as a gen fic writer even though I do ship (and slash) characters in this movie. For me the slash tends to be sort of a spicy relish on top of the delicious delicious setting Nolan has given us to extrapolate upon and my entire gen fic output (nearly 80k words so far oh god I have no life) tends to revolve around worldbuilding

Well, we've had plenty of conversations about the wider world of extractions and dream share, and partly it's because Nolan crafted a wonderful 'verse without laying out every single detail. It lets us play around in the edges of canon and extrapolate to how it could be a real world situation, and I love that kind of thing. There is absolutely a wider network than what was shown in the movie, and it's obviously an international scene even if it's not as well known to ordinary citizens.

I don't have as much detail in my headcanon regarding the wider dream share world, if only because I don't have any stories quite as comprehensive as your Parlor Tricks timeline. The wonderful thing is that canon is so full of shades of gray that there can be any number of explanations for their backgrounds and skills that are equally valid and just as fascinating to see.

Damn, I am impressed. This is a very workable method to worldbuilding, and as someone who does a lot of it, I really like it
