It seems suited for a subsection, but there isn't really consensus on how to use those in Sandboxes and I suspect it might actually out-of-memory me if I tried it.

Maybe a sort of Silmaril-satellite continuity to centralize the miscellaneous Alicorn-lintamande sandboxes, with touch and go/stay in touch as a subsection of *that*? Doesn't solve the general problem of smol continuities but does address this particular case.

The Constellation has a lot of continuity support which works well even for two-thread continuities, but that also makes the list of continuities huge. Maybe there could be an option for unnamed smol continuities which don’t show up in lists but still have next/previous thread links etc.? Probably harder than it sounds.

"Feels weird to have a tiny continuity" is why I also mentioned links. On the other hand creating an unlisted or subordinate-to-Sandboxes continuity makes more sense if it can happen. It seems to me to be part of the nature of glowfic that tiny continuities are a thing and so support for that should be a thing.

Smol-continuity support is definitely a good idea but if subcontinuities in Sandboxes would bugger our memory usage then that's not the way to go. Hm. And I don't feel quite right about "unlisted", I feel like there should be a list of these things *somewhere* though it should not be the main continuity list...

Maybe create a continuity such that anyone can post there and the subcontinuities it has are different smol continuities?
