Yes, yes on the what is canon issue. It's something that I want to explore as well. For me, as a literary theorist, it's perhaps the most significant question of narratives that evoke fan fiction. What is it? How do people work with it? Why does it remain important to fan fiction writers, even those who write AU. I think it's the central question of fandom: Why does canon matter as a concept?
