Fan Casting Ascended Fanon

Role added by connieblackwood on November 25, 2023

Description of Ascended Fanon:

This is when Fanon is promoted to canonicity; whether it's officially shown in a canonical work is another matter, as it may "only" reach the status of Word of God. This happens when the creators see some theory brought up by a fan, usually something that the creators haven't thought heavily about or planned beforehand, but rather than Joss it into oblivion, see no harm in officially accepting it as part of the work. However, this sort of thing can get creators in trouble if the person who came up with the fanon accuses them of plagiarism — one of the reasons why many companies forbid people working for them from reading unsolicited fan-ideas and fanfiction.
