fignewton: (canon vs. fanon)
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 10:49 pm
Welcome to the next installment of Canon vs. Fanon! I bid a warm welcome to the new people on my flist, and I'll hope you'll join the discussion. :)

This time, we are tackling the first section of off-world fanon. Unlike most of these essays, this one is not Daniel-centric. I originally intended to make a single post out of this, but thanks to some very entertaining discussion, the list grew too unwieldy for a single section. I hope to get the next one up in the next several weeks, but I advise against holding your breath!

Brief recap: Canon is defined as anything directly shown during Stargate: The Movie or episodes of the show, with show superseding the movie when there's a contradiction. Fanon is defined as widely-accepted concepts that appear in fanfic, but do not have any real basis in canon. The purpose of this series is not to denigrate those authors who use fanon, but rather to show precisely what is canon, and what is fanon. If I've missed any canon appearances which support or contradict my analysis, I would greatly appreciate it if you'd point that out in the comments.

Please note that I no longer include spoiler warnings for S10 episodes, although I will continue to do so for Ark of Truth and Continuum if the need arises.

"Anyway, I'm sorry, but that just happens to be how I feel about it. What do you think?"

Hope it was a good one, Aelf. :)
