On the fanfic canon front, I've never met any fans who were that fanatic ... yet. This has made me wonder about something, though. In my mind, it has to be created by the original to be canon -- Joss's to be canon Buffy, for instance, or Rowling to be canon Harry. But I wonder if we could come up with a name for a fanwriter who creates his own universe for all his stories, as I did. If another writer came in to write within that universe, what would you call the original? Fanon?

Yeah, I'm tired, why do you ask? :-)
