and, I think, to a lesser degree, RPF? Actually, now I want to know this. Tell me, do you think of *Nsync as an infinite-canon fandom?).

Which also starts getting into your pet topic about what counts as canon, yeah? Books and movies and alternate things and blah blah blah.

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

Well, yes.

Though I try to avoid all RPF discussions these days.

Um, yes, that was a copy and paste error on my part. I meant to paste in this, I think:

And yeah, with comics, it's... almost impossible to know the complete canon, and I don't expect most people to be able to quote chapter and verse of the Silmarillion to write LotR fanfic, etc.

And make those same comments. THe other thing was from answering someone else's.

THe other thing was from answering someone else's.

I saw that afterward. *g*

But yes, what counts as canon, what needs to be known and what you can slide by without knowing, multiple sources, author/actor interviews, tie-in novels, written not seen scenes, etc...
