This Canon Question

[ayngelcat]

Which seems to have loomed again on anon threads.

For what it's worth, I've always liked this old essay, which describes TF as a 'mythology' rather than 'canon.' Maybe its why I've never gotten hung up on the canon issue.

I'm interested in peoples' views (but please no wank - its just an idea I can see some merit in!)

"*blushes*...'m sort of guilty of keeping myself to canon when it comes to my favourite mech."

Heh . . . nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's /awesome/. I try to do that myself as much as possible and I /love/ others who do it too. The problem, really, is when one person starts getting nitpicky not on their own work but someone else's.

Agree 100% on everything else. =3

Ugh, yes. I know what you mean. Thankfully, I'm nothing like that, since I rather enjoy good writing, not preaching The Right Way.

Also, thank you. (:
