"The Sentinel by Blair Sandburg" is the name of the final episode of the series, The Sentinel, in which Blair Sandburg makes a public statement regarding his thesis topic and this leads to personal and professional upheaval.[1]
This led to an avalanche of responses from fans in the form of virtual seasons, discussion, meta, vids, and lots and lots of fanfiction -- mostly fix-it. Fanworks with this focus are often labeled Post-TSBS or a variation of it.
TSBS and Post-TSBS fanworks address how these decisions would affect Blair, his partner Jim Ellison, their life and careers.
