I haven't really been in the fic side of the fandom long enough to develop any pre-S4 story ideas, so I'm not affected by that. I've had some vague ideas for possible S4 episode tags; mainly character introspection beyond the bare-bones fleeting glimpses that are all we're likely to get out of TPTB. A lot of it focuses on the loss of Weir and Carson and how that's affecting the others. There's also a little potential AU idea I've got for how Shep and the team could get Weir back... how that goes forward will probably depend on how Weir's storyline unfolds, but based on the spoilers I've seen thus far, I think it'll proceed as planned.
Will Shep/Weir fic survive? Hell yes. There's been too much canon development of their friendship and UST already, and the hints of Shep-angst in S4 will only add more fuel to the fire. That's all fanon will need to keep it alive and well.
Should be interesting to see how Beckett vs. Keller will go, especially seeing as how Beckett will be back as well.
And there are plenty of ongoing AU fics that I'm sure a lot of people will continue to follow regardless of what happens on the show.
