*nods about the rest* Having a plot solution that incorporates the newest canon is definitely the most elegant ideal for me too, and I prefer reading such fics. But it was still somewhat reassuring that the idea of dissing the latest book to pull off a fic wasn't quite as bad a fandom crime as I'd thought it was. Perhaps what made me so leery was that some people would actually try and make their old stories compliant with new canon once a new book came out. Which I find really excessive, but I've seen it quite a few times...
