A meme that I'm sure Harry Potter fans knows is coming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdoD2147Fik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdoD2147Fik "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.

Touhou has to be one of the most successful and amazing actually COLLABORATIVE multimedia projects of all time.

  I remember years ago the largest torrent out there was a collection full of remixes of the games music.

    Yep: http://www.tlmc.eu/2018/01/tlmc-v19.html http://www.tlmc.eu/2018/01/tlmc-v19.html > remixes True but also kinda sells the whole phenomenon short a bit. I think "arrangements" is the most common English language description. Touhou doujin culture is pretty wonderful. I highly recommend attending Comiket if that's at all up your alley, and I'd personally love to make it to Reitaisai one day.

    SCP Wiki is multimedia?

      Yes! There are short films, audio stories, novels and video games. Even the main wiki has video and audio content for some stories. Some examples: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/picture-this https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/picture-this & https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/for-your-eyes-only-a-tale-of-the-tmo https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/for-your-eyes-only-a-tale-of-th... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0915M7T61 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0915M7T61 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOxarwd3eTs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOxarwd3eTs https://store.steampowered.com/app/872670/SCP_5K/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/872670/SCP_5K/

  Unfortunately, US authors generally are shy of fanwork collaborations, due to a minor controversy in 1980. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_issues_with_fan_fiction#Authors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_issues_with_fan_fiction#... >Also noteworthy is the series of Darkover anthologies published by Marion Zimmer Bradley, beginning in 1980, consisting largely of fan fiction extended into her canon. These books led to a much talked about controversy. Bradley read something in a fan story that meshed well with a Darkover book she was currently writing, so she wrote the fan author, Jean Lamb, offering her "a sum and a dedication for all rights to the text." In a 1991 Usenet post, Jean continued, "I attempted at that point to _very politely_ negotiate a better deal. I was told that I had better take what I was offered, that much better authors than I had not been paid as much (we're talking a few hundred dollars here) and had gotten the same sort of 'credit' (this was in the summer of 1992)...a few months later I received a letter from Ms. Bradley's lawyer threatening me with a suit."[52] After Bradley's death, more information has come out supporting the fan's story.[53] >The rumor, however, was that Bradley had a skirmish with a fan who claimed authorship of a book identical to one Bradley had published and accused Bradley of "stealing" the idea, and the resultant lawsuit cost Bradley a book. Either way, her attorney advised her against reading fan fiction of her work. Versions of this incident are credited by many to have led to a "zero tolerance" policy on the part of a number of other professional authors, including Andre Norton, and David Weber. The only author/fan collaborative project I'm closely familiar with, Homestuck/Paradox Space/Homestuck 2.0, did not... entirely... dissolve into recriminations and lawsuits, but was not terribly profitable.
