The Arthurian Legends were essentially created by the process of what we would call today FANFICTION! Authors just riffing off each other, adding different plots, details, characterizations, etc.
Yeah, can you imagine what legends they will have in a thousand years about our time? Especially if there's a shift that causes a lot of contemporary media to be lost. It will be wild!
