| "Did you put your name into the Goblet of Fire, Harry?"
| Dumbledore asked calmly. Film vs Books.
|
| Book canon vs Movie canon is hard enough, adding fanfiction to
| the mix is just too much! But its important to remember that fan-
| fiction is its own culture that's possibly incompatible with
| canon (either book or movie, since both canons are different).

| An interesting approach to things is the Touhou games, where Zun
| himself follows Fanon as much as he's able. The core games don't
| have too much in the way of character development (they're all
| Japanese children stories that have been amped up into an over-
| the-top video game setting). But the fan-community has made up
| many stories about how various characters treat each other or
| think about each other, and its interesting to see a creator who
| goes all into "Fanon", rather than declaring themselves to be the
| one-true-canon.
|
| And I think Zun is pretty open about this approach too. What the
| fan's believe is perhaps more important than what the author
| intended, at least in Zun's mindset.
