New to Schrodinger's Heroes? Start Here!
This is a fandom for a television show that doesn't actually exist yet. It began when Dreamwidth user Melannen created a frame for "101 Asexy Sex Scenes" with attention to character orientations. Next, I wrote out materials for the apocryphal television show Schrodinger's Heroes and its imaginary fandom. I started writing poetry and other stuff. More creative folks contributed material of their own.
Schrodinger's Heroes wound up with lots of gender, racial, and other diversity. It features complex characters and thought-provoking themes. The show itself follows the adventures of several scientists and their friends as they attempt to manage dimension-spanning technology, fight evil, and not blow up anyone's personal life.

What should I read first?
Of course, you could just jump in anywhere. With a big project, though, it helps to know a good starting place. These are some stories and poems that help introduce the characters and give a feel for the project as a whole. They are about as easy to understand as literature about characters who deal in quantum physics is ever going to get.
If you want a primer, use the canon page to explore. It helps to know about the show, the main characters (Melannen's and mine), and at least the aired episodes.
FICTION
These stories are stand-alones. You can read them in any order.
"Kid in a Candy Shop" by Elizabeth Barrette takes place after the two-part pilot episode. Alex and Kay visit an army surplus store for supplies.
"Toasters" by Dreamwidth user primeideal happens after the aired episode "Harnessing Power." It features a relationship between Alex and Kay.
These stories are the openers for some popular series. If you recognize the other fandom in the crossover ones, you'll have some familiar faces to follow. Visit the crossover and original content pages to browse the rest of the series.
"THE Woman" (Part 1 , Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5) introduces The Herolock Series featuring BBC Sherlock. Morgan and Sherlock meet while drowning their sorrows in a seedy Texan bar.
"Adjacent Universe Splatter" fires up The Orange!verse Series by Dreamwidth user chanter_greenie. What's usually called the Core dimension is here called the Scarlet!verse for contrast with the Orange!verse in which American politics has gone ultraconservative with dark results. In this story, Pat and Scarlett pick up a radio broadcast from far, far away.
"Safe Keeping" (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7) launches The Schrodinger's Hulk Series inspired by The Incredible Hulk and The Avengers. Bruce Banner turns to Alex for help, shortly after his fateful lab accident, and things go very differently from there.
POETRY
"Come In, Please" by Elizabeth Barrette happens just after the two-part pilot. Alex invites everyone else to move in with her at the Teflon Tesseract.
"Return to Center" by Elizabeth Barrette takes place during the aired episode "Landing the Eagle." Alex figures out how to get everyone home from their far-flung dimensions.
"Pat's Place" by Elizabeth Barrette comes after the aired episodes. The crummy cafeteria has been converted into a wonderful, homey kitchen.
"The Shirt Off Her Back" by Dreamwidth user primeideal is a crossover with Revolution. An older Ash appears in the Tef and describes a world where the power has been out for fifteen years.
LOL_HEROES
Do you like lolcats? One fun premise in Schrodinger's Heroes fanon involves turning the human characters into cats, and of course there is always Alex's black cat Schrodinger to work with. These bits of humor make a cute introduction to the show and characters. For more of this, see LOL_HEROES.
Alex is the quantum mechanic who started it all. Alter!Alex is a cream cat.
Bailey is Alex's right-hand man. Alter!Bailey is a brown mackerel tabby cat.
Quinn is Alex's unflappable friend. Alter!Quinn comes in rainbow colors.
In the Core universe, Schrodinger is black. He has an evil alter. I ship Good!Schrodinger/Evil!Schrodinger.
