: We established a set of "canon categories" here
: a while back. They were something like: 1 - Cannon
: a - Info from released materials by the author (like
: games and manuals)
: b - Info from BOTH prerelease and postrelease materials
: (see below)
: 2 - Pseudocannon
: a - Info from author-authorized 3rd party postrelease
: materials (like GURPS Myth and Chimera).
: b - Info from prepublished or authentically leaked
: prerelease materials (like the stuff on Bungie's or
: Eidos' old websites)
: 3 - Noncannon
: a - Info from materials that would only be
: "canon" in the legal sense but weren't
: actually made by the original authors (like Myth 3)
: b - Info from materials created and generally accepted as
: true by the fan community, based on extrapolations
: from canon and pseudocanon sources.
: And then within any category, later released supercede
: earlier ones, and within packages with both digital
: and printed materials (like a game and manual), the
: digital counts as "newer" and thus more
: authoratative.
I know this is really stupid, but it's something of a personal pet peeve: please, please refrain from spelling "canon" as "cannon," as the latter refers to a large black stick which goes boom, and the other, to some extent, doesn't... I'm sorry, but it really does bug me, for some reason.
You know what? Ignore me. Please.
I was going to actually make this post relevant here by asking about Chimera's canonical/noncanonical status, but, upon scrolling up, I noted that you'd already addressed that... So never mind.
