[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 6293731, member: 8461"] If you need help with those kinds of "restrictions," then you're not the right person to be telling those stories in the first place. Simply put, there are many things that are widely regarded as wise decisions regarding what stories to tell, and it's far and away better to build on them rather than throw your hands in the air because you lack the imagination to figure out how to incorporate them into new materials. Canon is a strength, not a weakness. The people who think otherwise are the wrong sorts of people for the kind of writing required for an existing intellectual property. Hm, so a moderator thinks that not being rude to other posters means being a machine or a Vulcan. In that case, yeah, I'd definitely call you a disappointment. Did that also come with a blanket statement that all of the old Arthurian myths were now no longer valid, and that that story was now to be taken as the canon myth? No? Then, as the young people say, "irrelevant analogy is irrelevant." But they don't always change for the better. People make stupid decisions - this is one of them. [/QUOTE]
