Well duh it's fanfiction. The sort of idea that it's one continuous story is a misnomer. Any series of any character of any length is going to basically be broken down into runs by specific creative teams where you'd be better off reading each run as a self-contained piece of work featuring that character rather than as an actual chronology of that character. The point is in the suspension of disbelief where you accept this but still accept the greater continuity of the character and the universe as a whole. You just have to choose how you perceive that universe. It's by far and away not a perfect system but without it Superman would have ended decades ago and Superman: Birthright wouldn't exist and the world would be sadder for it.
