I would really appreciate the addition of setting in canon timeline for fics. I do not like spoilers in the extreme, and I will not read a fic if there's any chance it might spoil something for me.
To give you an example: I read licensed manga only, but many people are literally years ahead of me in reading canon due to available scanlations online, and they often write fic in that future (for me) setting. This makes me very cautious about reading fic from relevant fandoms, and if they do not have a timeline specification, I will not read it.
If you could add a canon setting note, I would be very grateful!! I myself take care to include this information on my own fic recs site, to help others avoid unwelcome spoilers. ^^V
To be honest, there's many times when I have absolutely no idea where in a show's timeline a story takes place (especially in the fandoms for which I've never read canon, which includes nearly all manga fandoms I read/rec in) so while I will be happy to pass this request on, I can't promise we'll actually be able to implement it in all instances. But we'll certainly look into it!
