You know, I had the exact opposite reaction to yours when I read stormwreath's post. :) I thought to myself, "Why on earth would you expect all your fic to be consistent?" (Unless, of course, all your fic is intentionally written in the same 'verse, like the Barbverse.)
But then again, I've always had my fic arranged chronologically, and the only ones that mesh together are the ones that were meant to (i.e. my alternate season six). I don't write much post-series fic, and I rarely write between-the-lines fic, so anytime I start something, it's pretty much guaranteed to go off in a different direction than anything else I've written.
I can't say I really have one post-series story in my head that I think of as what "really" happened. That's what I find so freeing about fanfic - it can be whatever I want it to be, even if that's Buffy/Spike on Tuesday and Buffy/Xander on Wednesday and Xander/Dawn on Thursday.
